I just wanted to mention the ending, after the credits, because the English subs make no sense so I switched to Korean which has the same sentence structure with Japanese to get it (verb comes last after subject/object)

Loosely translated, he basically types "We became adults couldn't" meaning we couldn't become adults, the title of the movie and how we go in to watching it from the start. And deletes the last part which leaves the sentence as "We became adults". Which I suppose explains its lack of closure and anticlimactic finale. Adult life is boring and ordinary, right!? That's how I interpret it at least.

This is not a not a happy ending film but for all that its melancholy and familiar detail of rose tinted nostalgia it still cant be anymore spot on.

With detail and deja vu like resonance for anyone who has had and lost or never found at all, this bittersweet - all to close to home meandering film strikes a chord in a very natural methodical way.

You see the influence throughout his life and for anyone who has experienced its like you feel along with him as well and know the longing and churning need to find meaning that may never come. So many times filmmakers will offer that pat hollywood ending but sell their vision short.

Not this one and the creators can take an abiding deep pride in crafting something utterly human or relatable though it may not give the resolution so deeply desired.

Bravo ... truly Bravo!!

Reminds me of my own life. A film like this really transcends itself in many ways. Thank you.

Why such a low rating on IMDB? Well, if you look through the list of most high rated films on this website, you will find super hero and robot action movies...It just tells you the audience here wouldn't get a movie that tells an emotional story.
