Aishiteru

This drama rom-com felt a little bit dry in my opinion. Maybe because there's not enough soundtrack to support the movie? Music can influence a movie greatly if you can pick the right ones. Maybe there wasn't enough budget to hire some musicians? Too bad. Plot wise, it's decent and pretty interesting to watch. It's just that this movie is also about green card fraud. So it's in the grey area with the law. But that's the only thing in the movie that raises some eye brows. Everything else is just good drama and dry humor. It's well directed and the acting was passable. Especially for non-famous actors and actresses.

Can feel it

Aichaku is one of those quiet, emotional films that really sticks with you. What unfolds over just a few days is a touching story about identity, connection, and finding where you belong.The acting feels really natural, The cinematography is beautiful too; the countryside setting adds a peaceful, almost meditative vibe to the whole film.The 1950s-inspired soundtrack is a nice touch, and you can tell a lot of heart went into making this, especially knowing it was partially crowdfunded. It's not flashy or fast-paced, but if you're into character-driven stories with emotional depth, Aichaku is absolutely worth a watch.

Different Perspective

I'm not a foreigner and I'm not gay. I don't understand everything in this movie. I liked that it still made me feel like I was not an enemy when I watched it. It didn't make fun of Japanese people and straight people were not the villain. It was about life conflicts and all kinds of love. The villain is just situations the characters are in. They have to figure out what is moving forward.Was it a perfect movie? No. Was it an interesting movie? Yes. I recommend it. It is worth checking out, especially since it's free on prime video. If it was not free, I am not sure what I would think or feel. For something free though I felt like it had a lot of value, so maybe I would not mind.
