It's been almost a month since I last wrote a review; it's not that I haven't been watching/listening to anything, I've just been lazy. XD I probably should write reviews right after I watch the movies or dramas so I won't forget them, heehee~
Anyway, Boku to Tsuma no 1778 no Monogatari is wonderful story about the writer Sakutaro (Kusanagi Tsuyoshi) and his wife Setsuko (Takeuchi Yuko). Setsuko was diagnosed with colon cancer, with only a year left to live. Upon hearing this, Sakutaro tried so hard to think of ways in which he can help his sick wife. He decided to write funny short stories every day for Setsuko to read when the doctor told them that laughter helps the immune system.
Each and every day he wrote, but of course it wasn't easy. He ran out of ideas but he never gave up. The one year miraculously got extended to five years, with Sakutaro writing every day, until his wife's last, which was the 1778th day.
It's a lovely, lovely story, and the way the story was made was wonderful, too. Some of the stories that go illustrated in the film were really funny and were also shown in a great way. I love how Sakutaro mingled his normal, everyday life with the sci-fi stories he made.
I love the idea of the story. It was really sweet. Having someone do whatever it is he can do for you is just... wow. I think that right there is love. You don't have to go the extra miles for the one you love. Being just there, doing what you can for the one you love, it's awesome. I wish this kind of love really does exist. :)
