Well, let me tell ya about that movie, “Drawing Closer.” It’s one of them tear-jerkers, the kind that gets ya right in the feels. I don’t know if you’ve seen it yet, but if ya haven’t, don’t be surprised if you need a whole box of tissues. It’s one of them movies that’ll make you cry, but also make ya think real hard about life. Now, the story’s a sad one, so I’ll warn ya upfront, but it’s also a beautiful story, if you ask me.
The movie’s about a young feller named Akito. He’s just seventeen, not even old enough to be fully grown, but he’s got a big dream. He wants to be a painter, and he’s got all the talent in the world to do it. But then, out of nowhere, he gets hit with some bad news. The doctor tells him he’s got a rare, nasty tumor in his heart. That’s right, a tumor in his heart. Now, that’s a mighty cruel thing to hear when you’re just a young boy with so much left to do. Ain’t it?
Akito, of course, falls into a deep sadness. I don’t blame him one bit. Who wouldn’t? But then, he meets a young lady named Haruna. Now, Haruna’s got her own troubles, too. She’s also sick—her illness is a little different, but it’s just as bad. The two of them, they form a bond, a strong one. Even though they know they ain’t got much time left, they don’t let it stop ‘em from living life to the fullest, even if that life’s shorter than most folks get.
The thing I loved about this movie is how it don’t drown ya in sadness all the time. It shows the tough parts, sure, but it doesn’t shove it down your throat. There’s this balance—between sorrow and hope. I reckon it’s a good reminder that life’s too short to waste time, especially when you’re facing your own end. That’s something the movie makes you think about, and it don’t sugarcoat it either. But it also gives you a little hope, a little light in the darkness. It tells ya, “Hey, maybe there’s something beautiful even when everything’s falling apart.”
Now, I gotta mention the flowers. Yup, the gerberas. They’re important in the movie, and I reckon there’s a reason for that. In the story, five gerberas mean “hope.” Six mean “falling for someone,” and three gerberas, well, they stand for something that’s hard to say, but easy to feel. The flowers, they’re like a symbol in the movie, remindin’ us about love, about hope, and about how sometimes the things we can’t say are the things that matter the most.
But don’t be thinkin’ this movie is just about sickness and sadness. No, it’s about living, even when you know your time’s runnin’ out. Akito, he tries to chase his dreams even though he knows he won’t have long to live. It’s a message about not givin’ up, even when life gives you a rough hand to play. It don’t matter how many days you got left, what matters is what you do with ‘em. I reckon that’s what the movie’s tryin’ to say to all of us.
Now, as much as I want to tell ya all about the ending, I ain’t gonna spoil it. I’ll just say that it’s one of them endings that’ll leave ya thinking for a long time after it’s over. If you’re the kind that likes a good, emotional flick that makes ya cry but also lifts your spirit, then this here movie is just what you need. And it’s on Netflix, so you can watch it right from your couch. That’s the beauty of it, right? A good movie don’t need to be in no fancy theater. You can watch it in your own home, and still feel like it’s a big event.
So, if you’re in the mood for something that’s gonna hit ya right in the heart, and maybe make ya think a little about how precious life really is, “Drawing Closer” might just be the one for you. It’s got a good mix of sadness and hope, and by the end of it, you’ll be glad you watched. Just don’t forget the tissues!
