  • June 23, 2009 I love this movie Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
    this movie was amazing it totally messed with my morals because while i'm not someone that condones incestuous relationships I wanted these 2 to stay together. This is what makes the film interesting, while their romance is taboo it is depicted in such a sensitive way. These kinds of relationships are normally depicted in the most depraved ways, this film veered away from that instead what you are shown is a brother and sister that are truly in love with one another. Their whole lives they have been in love with each other but because in modern day society it is "wrong" to have these kinds of feelings they can't be together. This film doesn't try to shock you. This films depiction of forbidden love was very realistic and it wasn't to angsty at all. This movie makes great use of silence, the pacing is kind of slow but if you like movies like water lilies(this has a similar pacing and it also uses alot of silence) it won't bother you. This movie broke my heart I cry every time I see it the performances were extremely powerful especially Matsumoto Jun, he really shined in this. As I said before this movie really had me questioning whats right and wrong because they were truly in love but they were also siblings and i know that this really happens but now that I've seen this film which to me is a realistic depiction of such a romance I have come to the conclusion that I don't judge the people in these situations. In this movie the couple knows that these feelings are "wrong" but they can't help it because they love each other that much, and I can't judge the people in these situations because I'm sure they have the same conflicting thoughts. This movie was beautiful and extremely thought provoking, a work of art in my eyes it pushed quite a few boundaries I strongly reccamend this. It is different from the manga so if you're a fan I don't know if you will like this but try it out anyway.
