What's a pity that he died few years ago.
What worse, now there is this new man - younger, a bit immature and... still live.
Of course, Shimao will not give up as easily.
But, what he really can doing?
In a first sight, it's almost typical history about love triangle. Boring, ordinary? I thought in this way. But when I started watching this movie, I couldn't stop. I wondered, why? Here are a main reason.
Characters in “Natsuyuki Rendezvous” are really good constructed. It's important for me, 'cause I hate too ideal or too bad creatures. I prefer when people who I watch are real. Everybody in Natsuyuki Rendezvous are people like most of us.
It isn't story about handsome, clever, rich boy who met naïve, beautiful girl, then they fall in love and everything is easy. Hazuki and Rocca, main characters in this story, aren't too sweet and good. Sometimes they irritated me. They showed a lack of understanding of each other's feelings. Rocca still was living in her past. She is afraid of showing affection and too often tries to be unavailable. Hazuki is younger than her and sometimes behaved too rude. But after all, they aroused my sympathy.
Even Shimao, dead husband, who (in theory) is villain of this story, is really easy to understanding. His spite and jealousy are very normal, considering his situation. And his behavior gives to the series a bit of humor. Maybe it's grim and black humor... but it's fine, I guess.
It's true story of maturation of two (maybe three) people. It's a story of birth of love, too. Sometimes sad, sometimes funny. Just like life.
