Recently I have watched a Japanese film which talks about a journey of love of a young couple with them cohabiting in their lovely house for four to five years and eventually breaking up.

A young male artist who likes and is good at drawing meets up with a fresh graduate who looks for a job while having her first love in her very fledgling stage of life turning out a pair of very true, innocent, and pure lovers who genuinely falling in love with each other, who knows they would break up in the end? What happens in the process, what goes wrong?

It is the misconception of love that has rampantly posed onto nowadays’ youngsters’ perspective. They take love for granted rather than take it as a thing of preciousness and blessing, and all the more, they don’t put faith above everything, not seeing love as a long-term thing. They let familiarity breed contempt allowing time to take the bloom off their love, respect, admiration, and intimacy. The reason why such a lovable relationship of such a pure young couple ends up as such a failure is worth our deep thought.

The movie shows us a woman doesn’t have to be especially strong, tough, rich, or whatever you may think of her to be capable of doing anything she wants. Instead, the movie imbues us with a new conception that a woman who is so pure and simple could make two big decisions (cohabit and separate) in her life at a so fledgling age just to fulfill what she wants, and what she wants is pure and simple too, she just wants to be herself, be faithful to herself rather than be submissive resigning herself to fate. It sounds easy, however; when you have a cohabiting relationship with someone whom you love for five years, you would know how hard and heartbreaking it is to end up separated. A scene of them breaking up in the movie with insane crying when they both recall their sweet memories in addition to the profusion of desperate begging from the man with flooded tears to attempt to save their relationship could definitely not only touch you but also startle you. It tells us it is no fun but pain! To be continued………
