A taste of youth once again

Rating: 9/10 (24 September 2017)

I have read quite a few reviews from both side before writing mine; I could understand why some people dislike this movie.
For those who love this movie, they are those viewers who flow with the story with an open mind. There are always flaws in every story, if we keep nitpicking the plot hole, they will never come to appreciate what a movie could offer to them.
People seems to forget the reason to watch a movie - to escape from our reality. This movie does deliver a moment for the audience to get along this amazing journey of Mitsuha and Taki. My wife and I try to solve the puzzle when the story continue to unfold, there were a few moment that we were able to put pieces together and see if the story goes as we thought. There were also moment we doubted whether the event will be different than it originally was. We hold our breath to see how the story will end, I was crossing my finger that the ending will be at least in some form of closure. I am glad that it was.
Referring back to my review's title, by walking through this story, I could feel, once again, the energy by being youth. I am in my mid 40s and this movie touch my soul and brought my heart out as in my 20s.
For those who can't stand any flaw in the story line, I believe this movie will not able to touch your heart or I should say, this is not your cup of tea.
