When the girl tells him that she wants to die, he answers, I had thought of killing. He has the same kind of despair that she has. He suggests that they make a film together. They decide to ride a bike and travel far for location. But they entered to the polluted by radioactivity.

“Chocorietta is the artful movie that has probably been watched by preteen and teen Japanese culture fans and when it didnu0026#39;t meet their expectations of a usual romance or fun movie, they gave it a 5/10. Itu0026#39;s actually a solid movie about the loss of loved ones, dealing with a problematic past, and most probably with a personality disorder. You have two unusual characters struggling to find their place in the world and come to terms with themselves and their pasts. It does a pretty good job about reflecting the reaction to loss and the difficulty of moving on, which made me say to myself u0026quot;Iu0026#39;ve been thereu0026quot;. It has a big Fellini influence therefore, youu0026#39;d be hearing lots of Fellini references.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;ve landed on the movie because Iu0026#39;ve been watching Masaki Suda films in a row and heu0026#39;s the male lead in this one. Heu0026#39;s quite a talented actor with some awards under his belt. The female lead also does a great job. Itu0026#39;s the longest movie Iu0026#39;ve watched in a while and maybe it could have been a much more impressive movie if it was more compact and to the point but, the length gave me a sense of reality and I liked it.”
