One Litre of Tears bring about the bursts of emotions. This sentimental movie was adapted from a true story of a girl named Aya Kito. As she progressed throughout her teenage years, she developed a disease called the spinocerebellar ataxia, a disease that causes the cells in the cerebellum to deteriorate causing the failure of muscle movement, eye-to-hand coordination, and lack of balance. Eventually, anyone that experiences spinocerebellar ataxia will lose the ability to walk, talk, and eat. There is no known cause for this disease; therefore, there is no cure for it. As Aya tries to cope with the hardships of the disease, she writes diary entries to show the hardships of her daily life. The diary entries were then published shortly before …show more content…
Throughout the whole movie, they only filmed it during the day time instead of the night time. By filming during the day time, it shows sun shine which portrays strength and happiness. This was to help people stay positive about the disease. The camera angles were mostly establishing shots, long shots, and medium shots. The establishing shots were used in between the change of scenes and the movie usually shows buildings, houses, and schools. Long shots were used to show Aya’s full body. This showed the progress of the disease on her body, and how her body is deterioration day by day. Medium shots were usually taken during the conversations between the actors and actresses in the movie. The main character of One Litre of Tears, Aya Kito, played her role significantly well. Her acting skills make the audience believe that she has the disease. The way her body was shaking. The way her mouth was crooked due to the disease. The way she communicated with others at the peak of the disease. She carefully took her acting to the next level. It is extremely hard to talk like there is something stuck in my throat, or even walk abnormally for a long period of time. There are quite a few cuts throughout the movie. It was used to replace scenes that are nearby. For example, when Aya was in the hospital, she was doing her usual rehab training. As …show more content…

It is like their emotions are directly transferred into ourselves. Thus, One Litre of Tears could make a significant impact on those who feel like their life is about to end and there is nothing else they could do about it in order to keep them going and try

After watching the movie "Even the Rain", I was impressed how deeply it was thought out.

The Bad and The Beautiful (1952) and State and Main (2000) are films within films that unmask Hollywood Cinema as a dream factory and expose the grotesque, veneer hidden by the luxury of stars. The Bad and the Beautiful, directed by Vincent Minnelli, is a black and white film narrated in flashback form.

Hope overcomes despair, permits others to see your “inner light” to develop integrity which connects with honesty and trust. Hope is the inspiration to continue to live regardless of the circumstances. Red may have narrated; “Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.” But, Andy Dufresne states it best: “Get busy living, or get busy dying.”
