initially the film title suggested me that it wd be a day to day routine Asian romantic comedy movie & first 15 - 20 minutes of the movie were not able to catch me.however i persisted to continue it and the film began to develop its plot pretty much.the storyline is simple but the way it is narrated and portrayed in the film adds a magnanimous element to the description.the total focus of the movie is uncovering the most powerful human expression - to yearn for love - in a manner quite uncommon to us.with a wish to spend the desired moment with her beloved at a particular spot adds seemingly believable attribute to the film. its not glorified in the way the Hollywood blockies are - titanic, a walk to remember & that-- but simple enough to kindle the spirit of love within your heart.a must watch movie for the serious movie lovers. hats off to the Japanese for giving such a brilliant film. this film continues to be in the all time top 5 romantic movies of mine.

This is a beautifully shot and profoundly touching film about love and grief. Normally I am not really into sappy romance movies, because many of them insult my intelligence. But this sentimental drama completely captivates me and I cried and cried and cried again.In "Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World," Saku and Aki are two high school classmates in the 80s. They fall in love and use audio cassettes to record their diaries for each other. However, this romance didn't last forever. And 17 years later, when Saku comes back to his hometown, he is still consumed by his love of his life time.The film travels between two time lines seamlessly and never slows down on building up the emotion through a brilliant performance by a terrific ensemble cast. I believe in and feel the love between the characters, which is why I am so deeply moved by their love story.

I've just seen this film yesterday at the University. As a very serious movie fan, I didn't expect anything of the film. Especially, being a typical male and the kind of person who is not too keen into romance movies. However, I was carried away after the first 15 minutes. I've been very busy lately with work but I still couldn't stop thinking about the storyline as I consistently found myself analysing the feelings and emotions from the perspectives of the people who are involved in the story. The philosophical statements in the film have also enforced a huge impact on my mind. They significantly play very important part in the story. I do not want give any more details but I strongly believe that this film should be seen by all movie goers.
