No, I'm not here to talk about "Back To The Future". But this 1983 Japanese movie, called Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo, is an innovative movie of its time that was based on a novel. Over the weekend, I managed to squeeze some time and watched it with an English subtitle.
Sypnosis: A high school girl accidentally discovered that she has an ability to time travel. With her power, she was able to change history, including discovering the boy she has feeling for.
Many would think that an old movie about time-traveling like this is either too boring or too predictable, but that is not the case here. I was a little uneasy about watching a black and white film. However, it turned out to be special effects, which is pretty amazing back in 1983.
Yet, it's the plot that set this movie apart from other B-rated sci-fi flick. It started out a bit confusing, but the ending made it all worth while. There are few questions that were not properly explained, but most will be answered if put some thought into it. Like many good modern day films, it gives the viewers some time to analyze and hypothesize, instead of blinding call things out like Bubble Fiction.
The main heroine, Tomoyo Harada, is quite cute...despite it was back in 1983. Although, I can't say the same with acting skill.
