You Shine in the Moonlight

What I liked about "You shine in the moonlight" was the couple. The actors had chemistry and they did a perfect job when it came to acting, especially during the most dramatic scenes. They were, overall, convincing and emotional and kept the interest high till the very ending. However, the movie didn't handle the story very well. Sure, the main plot about two young students falling in love even though one of them is deadly sick, is common, especially in the japanese repertoir. This movie had the strange illness to demonstrate and use as their tool to seperate themselves from the others out their. However, they did not used it at all. They showed some scenes here and there, but didn't elaborate on it. Also, the emotional scenes were a bit blunt. In the end, the movie is quite forgetable, so five out of ten.

The movie didn't really do it for me. It reveals from the beginning that the girl's disease is incurable, so you pretty much know the romance isn't going anywhere. The guy helping her to check off her bucket list by doing all the things she has always wanted to do in her stead is kind of cute and there are some other nice and emotional moments, but I also felt bored a lot and never really cared much for the girl. Perhaps because there is something viscerally unnatural and off-putting about someone healthy and fertile investing his love in someone with no future. It would have been better if their relationship remained strictly a compagnionship and they made his girlfriend someone else.

If you have watched Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai you will find the story kinda similar but with the worse script. You will find Takumi Kitamura role as a man who has same character and have same purpose which is fulfill the female character wish before she died but once again in a WORSE WAY. Besides the disease of female character make me laugh somehow. She will be shiny like a diamond and die LMAO!!. Besides, Mei Nagano act is really poor for role as sick woman. Hamabe Minami act much better.

I love the story and the cast in it. Takuya Okada (Takumi Kitamura) is a high school student. He visits his classmate Mamizu Watarase (Mei Nagano) in the hospital. Mamizu Watarase suffers from the mysterious ailment "Luminescence disease." It is a strong romantic story with a tragic drama in between that causes the couple in the story to be separated at the end.

Initially the movie seems to be slow and melodramatic. But it soon turns out to be interesting and humorous, despite the subject being an incurable disease. The focus on human relationships and feelings, embodies the film. The acting of the main characters is excellent, and true to the profile of the Japanese student. I recommend.
