One Litre Of Tears-Movie-a
One Litre Of Tears-The Movie
aka Ichi Rittoru No Namida
Release: March 2007
Run Time: 100 minutes (Six parts A-F)
Adapted from the same-titled novel, One Litre of Tears is based on the true story about a girl's long fight with an incurable disease. A collection of her diary entries, chronicling her experiences and passion and perseverance for life, were published in 1986, and the book immediately became a bestseller. Her inspiring story was adapted into both a hit TV series starring Sawajiri Erika and a moving film directed by Okamura Riki. Promising new actress Asae Onishi stars as the film's tragic heroine, while Kazuko Kato portrays her supportive mother.
One day on her way to school, middle school student Aya (Asae Onishi) suddenly falls to the ground. The doctor diagnoses her with spinocerebellar degeneration, a rare and incurable neurological disease. Entering high school, Aya's condition continues to worsen as physical movements become more difficult. Forced to attend a special boarding school, she nonetheless finds hope and happiness through the support of her new friends and family. Working hard, she completes her high school education and bravely begins a new stage in her life, despite her weak health and continuous trips to the hospital. Aya never gives up, living each day of her life to the fullest until the very end.
A well-acted movie. The movie's rather sad, but when I think about the real life Aya having to go through such a physical hardship at such a young age it's hard to imagine. Her mind was fine, but her body just continually failing is a nightmare I couldn't deal with. However, Aya just gritted her teeth and dealt with it. She had the right attitude and lived much longer than most with that disease with support from her family, especially her mother.
I haven't yet watched the series, although I've had it for a long time. I guess I'll try to watch it soon.
