Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai

[Stark700]

A movie based on the novel known as 'Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai' is getting an anime film.

Plot Summary

One day, I–a high schooler–found a paperback in the hospital. The "Disease Coexistence Journal" was its title. It was a diary that my classmate, Sakura Yamauchi, had written in secret. Inside, it was written that due to her pancreatic disease, her days were numbered. And thus, I coincidentally went from Just-a-Classmate to a Secret-Knowing-Classmate. It was as if I were being drawn to her, who was my polar opposite. However, the world presented the girl that was already suffering from an illness with an equally cruel reality... (Source: MU)

The Live Action adaptation is doing fairly well at the box office, landing on the fourth position after opening at number three, but despite the visuals I'll probably wait until these adaptations are available for the smaller screen.

I really don't get these stories that put you in the shoes of someone who knows / interacts with someone who's dying. It's such a half-hearted premise. I would much prefer to be in the shoes of the person who's actually suffering the decease. It would be harder to pull of, narrative-wise, but that just makes it more interesting to me. Besides, The pov being a third party just feels too voyeuristic for my taste.

Watched the movie today. From my point of view a beautifully crafted movie.

To be quite honest, it's more about the interaction and mutual effect of two people who are polar opposites than a movie about someone dying. The disease is more a catalyst to bring together these two and have them make various experiences than the actual main theme of the movie. This is highlighted in the big reveal towards the end:

Spoiler for Spoiler, do not open if you intend to watch the movie:

While Yamauchi spends a large part of the latter half of the movie in hospital she does not die due to the disease. The day she was released from her hospital stay she went to see Shiga in "their" cafe. Halfway through the text message conversation she stops responding, right after he wrote 君の膵臓を食べたい. Turns out she fell victim to a crime and had been stabbed to death.

The development of their relationship (and in large part that of Shiga) is really well done. Both are keenly aware of their differences and through their interaction both come to admire each others strengths. This is highlighted as a closing circle in what both write independently towards the end and also by the revelation of Shiga's first name:

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Shiga's is Haruki to Yamauchi's Sakura

Yamauchi also has a pretty strong answer to Shiga's question about what it means to her to be alive. An answer that has been inspired by Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince I think.

Just saw this in the theater, I had to control myself from sobbing uncontrollably near the end.

Just finished watching this movie and it's seriously a masterpiece. I'm usually not a fan of those "cute dying girl story", but as was already said, this isn't really one. I think Kakurin already explained it well, it's about two people that are polar opposites and how they influence each other. And this is a movie about life, not death.

I found the writing to be really impressive and subtle. The twists and reveals toward the end were really good.

And Sakura was a fantastic heroine.

Be sure to watch the scene after the credits. Ends the story nicely.

It's actually incredibly romantic. Goes beyond romance in fact.

I thought it's pretty impressive how many aspects are subtly connected without shoving it into the face of the watcher. For example the thing with their names.

To me one of the most emotional scenes of the movie was when he was reading Sakura's diary and she (just like him) rejected the saying of 君の爪の垢を煎じて飲みたい in favour of 君の膵臓を食べたい.

Yep, I started tearing up a lot when I reached that scene.

I was one of those who thought the title sounded silly, but finding out the context turned everything upside down.

I really hope more people will watch this movie.

Forgot to say earlier, I think one of the most important and best scenes of the movie is when he asks Sakura in the hospital what being alive means to her. And after hearing her (well thought-out) answer, thanks her from the bottom of his heart, saying that he's learned a lot from her.

Two things that stood out to me when watching the movie:
1) How utterly shocked I was when Sakura died even though it was clear from the very first scene that she's going to (when I watched it the first time in the theatres I was completely aghast for the whole stretch between him returning home and his visit to Sakura's house).
2) How the movie managed to make people cry without resorting to "tools" like a dragged out goodbye / death scene.

[Kanon]

Spoiler for Ending spoilers:

Yep, some people thought the way Sakura died was a cheap twist, but I thought it was a nice way to avoid the usual pitfalls of that kind of story that you mentioned. It's also a call-back to Sakura telling Haruki earlier in the movie that he, just like everybody else, could die at any time.

Even though we knew Sakura was going to die (the movie opens with her funeral), the movie still managed to lull us into a false sense of security. When Haruki wrote what we knew was his last message to her, I couldn't believe she had just died. I expected a slow death, not something so sudden.

Spoiler for Reply to Ending Spoilers:

Absolutely. I was wondering at that stage how they would handle her death considering the movie had already been going on for quite a while. Then I got completely blindsided by her sudden death.

But when I saw the TV report regarding her death, I immediately remembered one scene at the start when - seemingly innocuously - the TV was running in the background as well at Haruki's home, showing a news report that a criminal was going around attacking people.

Wow, I didn't even spot that! They laid all the groundwork early.

When's the BD out? It was on my watch list but last month, when it was airing here, I was too busy to do anything much and ended up missing it
