Review fr http://www.moviexclusive.com/review/skyoflove/skyoflove.htm
This is one of those Japanese movies belonging to the high-school-boy-meets-girl-with-terminal-illness-or-vice-versa-and-one-of-them-dies genre. Predecessors include Love Letter from a long time back, Crying Out Love in the Center of the World and Nada Sou Sou of recent memory. Make no mistake: the Japanese audience knows who dies after the first scene, but each of the aforementioned movie top-grossed in the country. Now that's really top-gross.
The selling points for each movie is basically the same. Find the most popular, most photogenic and most crybaby almost-teen starlets; put them in the movie, and watch one of them die while the other cries. Prettily. For the boys out there, the deck is stacked heavily against us. In about 80% of movies from this genre, the high-school dude dies. That's quite sad, for the high school girls are all wide-eyed cute little things that boys won't mind spending more time with.
That said, if you have the tenacity to endure the cheesy lovey-dovey lines and you like a clean colourful bright sunshine palate for cinematography, these Japanese flicks are cute date fodder. Each movie has a unique selling point, and Sky of Love promises a whole boatload of unique selling points. Rape, miscarriage and a white-haired dragonboy. This also happens to be a cellphone novel and a true story.
Acting-wise, the teens tried their best to emote, but there simply wasn't enough script for them to act upon, and the director fell into the very bad habit of fleshing-out characters like two-dimensional manga inhabitants.
The female lead was raped with 3 men watching and recording the ordeal, but she recovered in two full minutes of screen time to continue making moon-eyes at dragonboy. Skinny dragonboy beat up four punks easily. They had sex in the school library! Nobody reads books in Japan apparently; they read cell-phone novels. The movie was based on a true story, but it was completely unbelievable.
亲爱的，那不是爱情MV:
Lyrics:
教室里那台风琴叮咚叮咚叮咛
像你告白的声音 动作一直很轻
微笑看你送完信 转身离开的背影
喜欢你字迹清秀的关心
那温热的牛奶瓶在我手中握紧
有你在的地方 我总感觉很窝心
日子像旋转木马 在脑海里转不停
出现那些你对我好的场景
你说过牵了手就算约定
但亲爱的那并不是爱情
就像来不及许愿的流星
再怎么美丽也只能是曾经
太美的承诺因为太年轻
但亲爱的那并不是爱情
就像是精灵住错了森林
那爱情错的很透明
那温热的牛奶瓶在我手中握紧
有你在的地方 我总感觉很窝心
日子像旋转木马 在脑海里转不停
出现那些你对我好的场景
你说过牵了手就算约定
但亲爱的那并不是爱情
就像来不及许愿的流星
再怎么美丽也只能是曾经
太美的承诺因为太年轻
但亲爱的那并不是爱情
就像是精灵住错了森林
那爱情错的很透明
太美的承诺因为太年轻
但亲爱的那并不是爱情
就像是精灵住错了森林
那爱情错的很透明
