Movie Review: きみにしか聞こえない

I started a movie about a week ago, and I finally finished it. Called Kimi Ni Shika Nikoenai, it's a great example of the tragic love story between two people who have never met. After a bit of a slow start, it had me bawling like a baby...my eyes still hurt. Ryo is a high school girl who is socially awkward, with low self-esteem. One day she picks up a toy cell phone on her way home. To her surprise it rings, triggering "the cell phone in her head". She starts having long conversations with the man on the other end, Shinya, a young man who lives in Nagano. They support each other and bring life to each other's exisitence. When they finally get the courage to met, it is tragic and bittersweet (trying not to ruin the ending).
Funny how I can cry over this, but not over myself...the lyrics from the ending credits song didn't help me either. It just opened a whole new can of emotional worms. Such a mess.
Next movie needs to be a happy one.
