Doki-Doki Doki-Doki to me was a romantic movie between friends that we always strangers to each other for the past 3 years. The film starts off at a train station in Tokyo-Japan; this suddenly reminded me of the train stations in New York City. Yumi has had a crush on a guy she grew up with during school names Yosuke but have been very timid to talk to him. Yosuke reveled that he also had feelings for Yumi but was afraid that she remember him; the same for Yumi. Then there was another young lady named Makiko who to me was very lost in life. She would have trouble learning how to love because it looked like she was interested in a young man that she was with after school; but once the other kids started talking about her mother in a negative way, she simply gave up and ran off .The film didn’t show her parents or any audio of them. These three characters have seen each other for the three years on the train and didn’t say a word to each other. My favorite part was when Yumi finally believed that it was the time to speak to Yosuke. Before she left the train, she gave Makiko a tin-can that had a quote saying, “You decide your own Destiny”. While Yumi was stalking Yosuke, it was kind of weird because if a man was stalking a women, it would have been a total situation, but Yumi was determined and didn’t care what the consequences were. The idea that Yosuke already knew that she was following him the entire time was a shock. If he knew that Yumi was there the whole time, why didn’t he say anything until the end of the film? I think after they made eye contact and talked to each other, things between them ran smooth. Meanwhile. Makiko was still in the trouble with deciding her destiny. From the beginning of the film, I’ve always thought that she was the trouble one because she would keep to herself with her headphones in, and not very sociable. I can relate personally to how she felt because I had hardly any friends except for one that I had interest in and I was bullied and picked on. As life goes on, you tend to feel like there isn’t a reason for you being here at the moment and that’s how Makiko felt. You would think they would have jumped off the bridge to make herself feel better but the quote that Yumi gave her made probably made her realize that life is too long to end it now and she realized that they’re people out there that do care about her, Yumi being one of those people and she felt comfortable about it and didn’t jump. Overall, I think this film is a life lesson to speak up and always know that there will be people in the world who care about you even if you don’t know it.
