Koizora (part I)

wow. is japan's population growth so bad that they're making pro-life movies?
well, we all know it is. :\
that aside, the first half is not over yet so i can't draw any conclusions about the movie's message. it's funny, just yesterday or today i was thinking having a baby might physically kill me... err /tangent

about the actual movie. the problem is not just the story moving too fast but the acting is not believable. hiro's actor looks too young and immature to be playing his role. even aragaki yui looks older. it's entirely impossible to buy into the scenes where he's beating guys up or yelling at the classmate; it's like watching a chihuahua try to be a doberman, as simon cowell might say. he reminds me of the tenimyu kids, especially the newer generations--who knows? he might've been in it at some point. now that i think about it, there was some kid who was supposed to play a role but quit because he got offered TV instead... or something... sorry for this very jumbled-up entry, i'm liveblogging... the sappiness tsujitenai.
anyway, the baby died, so maybe it's not pro-life after all. or it's pro-life but also saying PREGNANT GIRLS SHOULDN'T HANG OUT WITH DELINQUENTS.
probably not to be continued, as i'm (obviously) not very impressed...
