I Wish is a really heartwarming movie. Despite the fact that the parents are separated and living faraway from each other, the two brothers who also live separately somehow maintained such close relationship with each other through phone calls. The older brother, Koichi, is the one who wished that their family can reunite to live together again. One day, he heard that if there are two trains passing each other in a certain speed, some kind of magical power will be generated to grant any wishes. Koichi and his younger brother, Ryunosuke, then plotted to go see the event with their own eyes together so they can make that wish.
The performance of real-life brothers, Kohki and Oshiro Maeda in this simple movie is just pure gold. Their acting totally encapsulated the innocence of living as a young kid that is full of confusion, but there are also so many little things that can make them feel happy instantly because of how naive they are. Adults wouldn't be able to understand their worry, so it's really uplifting to see it from kids' point of view. There are so many enjoyable elements in addition to the endearing storyline. Every single characters in I Wish has a background story that is relatable to us as the viewers. The cinematography, the music, the whole thing—all tied together, creating a really lighthearted vibe. This movie is very near and dear to my heart because I totally understand how it feels to have a family member living far away from home, and wish that they can come back to eat dinner and laugh with us again.
