"A Life in Movies" "5 Centimeters per Second"
(left) "I heard the falling speed is 5 centimeters per second." "Huh? What?" "The speed at which cherry blossom petals fall, 5 centimeters per second." This is what Akari said to Takaki at the very beginning of the film. Five centimeters per second may not seem very fast; in fact, it could be considered very slow—slower than a person's walking speed. But what if this speed continued for thirteen years? Let's calculate: 5CM/S * 13 years * 365 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds = 20498.4KM How long is 20498.4KM? If you look it up, you will find that 20,498.4KM is exactly the distance from the North Pole to the South Pole. And Takaki and Akari were separated for thirteen years. Two hearts that had once been united traveled the farthest distance on Earth and came back together, only they did not reunite in the same way... After watching 5 Centimeters per Second, when the ending theme plays, there is always an indescribable sadness in the heart, and tears inevitably fall. What kind of feeling is it that makes people unable to explain it or put it into words? \(center) Click here to download \(left) Ending theme download
