Wayne Dec 25 2020 12:38 pm Japanese drama at its finest, especially at Christmas!

It All Began When I Met You is the Japanese adaption of the American/England movie Love Actually. I recently watched this movie after watching Love Actually and wondered if any parts of world cinema adapted this great holiday movie. Sure enough my search was over in that Japan did just that. And I couldn't highly recommend this movie enough to people. The characters are wonderful in their own sense, the stories that they tell are heartbreaking, happy, and triumphant at the same time. The music score suites this movie so well. A big nod and tribute to Love Actually has the Silent Night Holy Night song in the beginning of the opening credits. Nice touch! All in all It All Began is a wonderful Christmas that will definitely not disappoint anybody, especially around the holidays. Very Very Highly Recommended!

Mike Warr Nov 22 2014 10:56 pm I saw this one at JFF Sydney 2014. This was one of the stand out movies at JFF this year. I think this one is better than Love Actually. It is a must see movie. The stories are so rich and vibrant and engaging. At one point, you just want to jump into the screen and give the little girl a huge hug. The film was written and celebrates the restoration of Tokyo Station on its 100 year anniversary. It is worthy of stand up ovation and can only be described as truly outstanding.

Don't miss out, make sure you add this to your list of life experiences.
