Touching

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 2001)

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** It is unbelievable the way this movie gets to you. Though it wasn't the enormously sad big happenings ***Spoiler*** like the deaths of some of the characters, but the small things, like Setsuko dancing around because she had a candy and then suddenly stood still 'cause she nearly swallowed it and she would have lost the enjoyment. Or what a man at the train station at the beginning of the movie poures [hope I spell it right] out the candy tin. At then, of course, I didn't know yet what the dead boy had put in it (it lookes like sand) but when I found out I was furious at that man. It is a very touching and sad movie, but although it doesn't seem to have a happy ending in a way it has. Now there is no-one to bother Sieta or Setsuko, nothing to hurt them. And during the movie al you want for those two is to be happy and have nothing to worry about. That is the situation at the end. Although I wasn't able to fight back any tears, I had a little smile on my face as well. Everybody who isn't sure about watching, just do it, you'll love it.
