Whether a lie is good or bad depends on the situation and perspective. If that's the case, you would just have to do what you think is right, right? What I think is right… After all, you wouldn't use your power to hurt others, right? So, why don't you just do what you want?

You Are the Apple of My Eye

Movies watched in 2024

You Are the Apple of My Eye (2018, Japan)

Director: Yasuo Hasegawa

Writers: Kenzaburo Iida & Shiori Yamazuki (based on the movie by Giddens Ko)

Mini-review:

I've seen many movies like this one, but it was still pretty fun. I enjoyed a lot of the recurring gags, and most of the characters were likable too, even if they weren't as fleshed out as they could have been. I didn't really get the reasoning behind all the drama that happens in the second half, and the movie lost steam when it started focusing on that. Still, Yuki Yamada's charming and committed performance carries the movie through all its ups and downs. I can't compare this version of You Are the Apple of My Eye with the original one, as I haven't seen it, but I do think Yamada makes this one worth watching.

The day you left the village, I said you can come home anytime, didn't I? It's been bothering me all this while. Even if you return to the village, you will have a hard time. If you're going to have a hard time, then it's better you don't come home. Part of me felt that way. I was wondering if you heard that as a lie. I thought of writing you a letter. But if it's a letter… I couldn't sit still and came all the way to Tsukumoya town. But I didn't have the courage to talk to you until I met Iwai-sensei. I'm sorry. I was afraid of hurting you with small lies, and ended up not telling you so many truths. I love you, Kanoko.

I have so many questions I want to ask. What are your plans for the future? Are you going to get a full-time job? Do you have any savings? What do you want from me?
