[movies: watched] hana yori dango FINAL

Feb 07, 2009 18:12

After watching the movie (the last bit of Japanese HYD left), I don't know exactly how I feel -- it was great but ... not fantastic. The beginning felt just like the show & I liked the closure of the ending but everything in the middle felt a bit contrived. It was enjoyable but unnecessary, or at least that's the way it felt to me.

I really liked the part on the island when Makino lost then found her necklace, like she lost and then found that spark of love she had for Domyoji. The metaphor was a little heavy-handed but it was still heartwarming.

I liked the wedding too! Rui totally surprised me as the officiant, but ... it was really fitting. It was great seeing everyone again, even Sakurako!

The bits after the wedding-- a bit hit or miss for me. Nishikado running away from Yuki was both hilarious & a little sad. Akira turning 'good' was weird. The scene with Rui was ... really depressing, actually. I was a bit uncertain about Makino & Domyoji's news at first, but I couldn't stop smiling once Domyoji finally figured it out. :P He was so adorable. He'll definitely make an interesting father...

I'm glad to see them married, I'm glad that Mrs. Domyoji finally let the 'iron woman' act go (her hugging Makino & Domyoji almost made me cry, swear to applicable deity). There are many things I didn't really like about the movie but it's still a great addition -- knowing that Tsukushi & Tsukasa got their happy ending, that's enough for me. ♥
