Sayonara Made no 30-bu (2020)

Not only about moving on but also about having aspiration and finding inspiration

Though there are drama and fantasy, the film is pure in its core. All emotions the story wants you to feel are all here. That and great pieces of music made me cherish this film.

It’s also worth to mention, everything presented on the screen is well-though-out. Sure, the story is touching plus, the actors are great. But the transition from one scene to another; not to mention, to a different emotion and season as time pass by is breathtaking.

A perfect example is, the shadow formed when our main character Kubota Sota played by Kitamura Takumi handed the tape to Murase Kana played by Kubota Sayu at night.

I truly love that one and some other shots. Everything about this film made me look back at my college days. Which reminds me, I NEED A SPOTIFY PLAYLIST!

If you get the chance to catch Our 30-Minute Sessions (2020), please do watch it. Though the storyline of possessing a body to interact with the people you left is not new, I can guarantee this film gives you more than an unfinished business that needs to be solved.

Our 30-Minute Sessions (2020) is not only about moving on but also about having aspiration and finding inspiration.

MUSIC LOVER'S GATHER AROUND!!!!

This movie was defiently a hit or miss for me. I did enjoy some parts of the movie then others. It's not a bad movie but it's not one of my favs. It did take me a while to get into the movie as it's a bit slow paced for me.

STORY
What drew me to this movie was the story line, it was quite unique and intrigued me. The way they developed and brought this story to life was pleasant to watch. Even if I found the movie a tad bit dull for my liking, I stayed until the end for the story to see where they would go with it. My fav part was the idea of preserving Aki's memory/life in a tape recorder, it's such a clever idea.

ACTING/CAST
Another reason I decided to give this movie a crack is for Mackenyu, he performed his character (Aki) so well. I could always feel what emotion he portrayed in that moment. He never disappoints. Also he can sing? and he is so good at it too. His voice his gorgeous, every time he sung I was awes trucked. Also the songs he sang complimented his voice so well.

The acting overall from everyone was astounding. In my opinion the cast did uplift the movie a little bit and they did keep me hooked until the end. I couldn't picture anyone else in those roles. So I defiently applaud the casting directors for the choice of cast.

OVERALL
It was a decent movie overall. I believe if you have a love in music you'd defiently like it. Sadly I'll most likely won't come back to watch it again. I did like the story/plot but it did take me a while to actually get into the movie. To me it's slow paced and I did find some parts boring then others. All in all, not my cup of tea.
