Koizora

Even though it's been over a year and change since I saw the dorama, I've been subconsciously comparing and consciously have to admit that I liked it a bit more. I don't understand why I like a story like this stretched out into six episodes more than a two-hour movie. I simply liked the performances of the leads and Michi's dad more in the dorama. In general, I found everyone more likable in the dorama. Just like the dorama did, the film moves you. This story just does it too well. Even the ending of dorama I liked better. The other thing is that even though it's a movie, it took up a bigger span of time in their lives, and I didn't much care for that. On the other hand, here I liked their beginnings more – the phone calls (in the dorama it was more "action" like). And please, could someone explain to me why I found myself singing at the end: "It's a mystery to me, that even when life delivers blow after blow, I'm still an Optimist. An optimist who's not doing well right now."? Thanks, I'd really like to know... (24/10/2010)
