| User ReviewToan NOne of the saddest yet greatest movies I have ever seen. One of the best I've seen,actually. |
| User ReviewlolitaThis is one of the best movie i have seen since Memoirs of a Geisha |
| User ReviewLija May GTerribly sad...a definite tear-jerker...but tells a story of friendship on an extremely powerful and inspirational level. |
| User ReviewSonia SI'm not very affective to sad drama, but its a great move. Sad, but great |
| User ReviewKristyn LThis is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time! A very inspirational story about a girl who truly learns the meaning of life... friends. Amazing acting all around, especially from Keiko Kitagawa, who was simply phenomenal! A heartwarming, and tear-jerking drama... i cried my way through half of it (at least)! |
| User ReviewDebarun Sthis is my fav movie ever! keiko was great in this heart warming movie. it made me cry really hard while watching it. and friends...they r necessary |
| User ReviewRichard Jslightly predictable story, yet still had me captivated and tearing up. Keiko's acting was amazing. |
| User ReviewPrivate Uthis movie made me cry even thought i could guess whaats gonna happen...lol |
| User ReviewKristen BGood for a good cry. I know, I subject myself to Japanese movies that just always happen to revolve around isolation, death, and sadness, good god. But there's always a good story and great acting, so it's addicting, and why not get in touch with emotion? It's good for you. =) |
| User ReviewPaulus Lulut Yâ??Apakah itu teman? Sesuatu yang Anda butuhkan? Sesuatu yang merintangi Anda? Apakah mereka sebagai penolong atau penghambat Anda? Apakah mereka tidak tergantikan atau hanya berguna saat kita membutuhkan bantuan saja ? Teman â?¦. Apakah kehadiran mereka diperlukan?â?? Itulah rangkaian kata-kata yang dinarasikan tokoh utama bernama Rina (Kitagawa), yang menjadi pokok permasalahan dalam film yang kisahnya diangkat dari manga berjudul sama karya YOSHI dan artwork oleh Watanabe Ayu. Dear Friends berfokus pada tokoh Rina (Keiko Kitagawa); seorang siswi SMA yang tidak percaya pada apa yang disebut persahabatan. Bagi gadis cantik yang menghabiskan masa muda dengan penuh kesia-siaan, dugem, pembangkang, congkak, pergaulan bebas merupakan makanan sehari-hari dan kerap menjadi pusat perhatian lawan jenisnya karena sex appealnya itu, kehadiran sahabat hanya diperlukan saat ia butuh dan untuk dimanfaatkan. Dikarenakan pandangan itu, ia tidak merasa bersalah saat tertangkap basah tidur dengan kekasih sahabatnya. Akibat sikapnya tersebut, Rina tidak mampu membangun hubungan yang baik dengan teman-temannya dan rekan sekelasnya. Tidak hanya di sekolah, keadaan itu juga terjadi di rumahnya, di mana kedua orangtuanya juga tidak berhasil menciptakan hubungan harmonis dalam keluarga mereka. Kehidupan Rina yang glamor berubah drastis, saat ia mengetahui bahwa dirinya ternyata mengidap penyakit kanker ganas. Selama berada di sana, hanya satu orang yang rajin menjenguknya, teman sekolahnya yang bernama Maki (Motokariya); yang sepengetahuan Rina, ia tidak mengenal Maki sebelumnya. Lama kelamaan gadis angkuh yang sebenarnya sangat kesepian ini, frustasi akibat penyakit yang dideritanya membuat daya tarik fisiknya menurun drastis, hingga ia memutuskan untuk mengakhiri hidupnya dengan cara terjun dari atas atap rumah sakit. Di saat krusial itulah Maki menggagalkan usaha Rina, bahkan menusukkan pisau pada dirinya sendiri untuk memperlihatkan pada Rina bahwa ia akan menanggung penderitaan yang sama dengan Rina. Melihat apa yang diperbuat oleh Maki, Rina mulai sadar bahwa ia dapat membina persahabatan sejati dengan Maki. Sayangnya, justru di saat Rina mulai bisa menerima keberadaan Maki, gadis itu tiba-tiba menghilang. Siapakah Maki sebenarnya? Apa yang menyebabkan ia mau berbuat nekat demi Rina, meski Rina sebenarnya tak mengenalnya? Apakah Rina akan kembali pada sifat lamanya? Semua itu bakal terjawab dalam film yang berjudul Dear Friends ini. Kisah drama mengharukan ini meski ceritanya tidaklah istimewa dan klise, sukses menerjemahkan tema betapa tingginya nilai persahabatan sejati, di mana hal ini kini menjadi permasalahan yang sangat serius tak hanya di Jepang sendiri namun juga di kalangan generasi muda moderen, yang lebih banyak menghabiskan waktunya dengan alat-alat elektronik, dibanding menghabiskan waktunya dengan rekan-rekan mereka. |
