Midnight Sun. A realli nice and
touching Japanese movie that i watched todae. It is, without a doubt, the
best movie i've watched this year.
The plot is
simple: A girl who can onli live in
moonlight due to a rare skin disease. She sleeps in the dae, and performs at the streets at nite. A boy who loves to surf as the
sun rises. Their paths cross. It's
not a typical melodramatic movie, it's a movie about music, love and family. It does not have any heart-wrenching scenes, yet it
moved me to tears...
It's the
beautiful singing of the female lead,
Amane Kaoru (played by real-life singer
Yui), that made this movie so
real, so special. Her voice has the power to reach ur soul and touch u deeply... (No wonder critics describe Yui as a singer wif a "
heavenly voice".)
This movie made me think about
life... About how fortunate we r to be alive and
healthy. About how our
loved ones have been standing by us all this while. About how we'll eventually find our own
direction in life. Dare to
dream. Cliche, but true.
Midnight Sun is a realli
meaningful movie that's worth watching... For those who dun mind sad movies (it's not that much of a tearjerker, it's juz
mildly melancholic), do catch it.
P.S: The amazing thing is, the songs Yui sang in the movie r all written by herself. A talented artiste indeed. And if u r dying to ask this, yes, the guy is veri shuai and cute. Haha.
