5 cm per second (Japanese)

A film that moved me to tears... No, there is no death in this film. Yet it makes cry. Because what separates lovers in this film is not death, but an utter hopelessness of being apart by distance and having no way to contact, or just the fact that the other one is not in love with you and would never be in love with you. Just some deep cutting hopelessness. Even then you will experience the depth of love so powerfully. Because love can be realized in it's highest power when it is not there near you; if it is near you you tend to take it for granted. (I've always thought a weird theory - the best way to love some one is to lose someone). Thus each second of the film conveys a thirst and hunger to have your love near you, but each second leaves no hope, but the thirst for love doesn't get reduced, it gets doubled the next second.
My ratings of this Movie : 10/10
