JAPANESE FILM FESTIVAL 2012, SEPTEMBER 13 ~ 18th :
MOVIE 1 - A GOOD HUSBAND (2009)
The heart wrenching love story between a married couple. The jobless husband cheats on his wife and has no love for her. The wife wants to go on a trip to get pregnant. This mismatched husband and wife may find sympathy among other lovers due to the excellent performance between Yakushimaru Hiroko, who was the main character in famous 'Kadokawa movies', and Toyokawa Etsushi, most well known for her role in [Love Letter]. Halfway through the film we understand why the original title of this movie was [A Good Husband This Time] while crying buckets of tears in being able to identify with the characters.

This is a very nice and meaningful movie. The wife - Sakura was actually died in an accident while they were at Okinawa for holiday. Over the year after Sakura died, the husband is imagining Sakura is still with him in the house, chatting, cooking etc.
At the last scene, husband is hugging his wife, Sakura (imaginative), crying, telling her how much he needs her. "why don't you tell me all these when I'm alive?!" Sakura said. I was crying when I watch this scene.
一貫的日本電影作風，淒美又不失幽默，我多麼的想痛快的哭，可是劇情卻不允許。電影完畢後，我與zp需要各自回家，送走他的那一刻，我的眼淚居然留了下來。
是故事情節牽動了我的心，還是zp在我們走到停車場的那一段路，所說的那一段話呢？：）
