シューズは脱がないで / First Love is Never Returned It’s still a lovely film, and it was very curious to see how my own personal experiences coloured my experience of the movie itself. And it was! As a frequent visitor to Tokyo many of the locations were intimately familiar, and so my relationship with many of the scenes was very different. Having now lived in Japan for seven years and finally departing less than a month from now, it seemed that watching it again for the first time since coming here could be an interesting experience. Through the soundtrack and the beautiful scenery, it stirred in me the strong desire to make my way to Japan someday. At the time, and on subsequent viewings, I was often moved with a real sense of longing and an odd nostalgia for a place I had never been. Funnily enough, like the person who tagged me in this post, the last movie I watched was also Lost In Translation! I first watched this movie at the cinema during a class outing for a college course I was doing in Narrative in Film and Fiction around 2003.
