All of this came from the memories of the adult Sakutaro. Coincidentally, he was about to marry Ritsuko, who had witnessed his love affair with Aki. During the days when Aki was hospitalized, he had been It was the young Ritsuko who was helping the two pass the exchange diary carried by the tape. Because of the car accident on the way, Ritsuko never passed the last tape that Aki gave to Sakutaro. Of course, later, Sakutaro finally got this. At this time, he really accepted the reality that Aki had left. Finally, Sakutaro and Ritsuko came to Australia together, came to the sacred Uluru, fulfilled Aki's last wish, and scattered her ashes in the In the wind of Uluru.
Apart from the love between Aki and Sakutaro, what I am more interested in is Ritsuko's mood. I don't know when she realized that Sakutaro was the male protagonist she had been helping to tease when she was a child. But I think that kind of feeling must be very strange. Because the story of those two people is so touching, she has always kept their sorrows and joys in her eyes, and now how can she face this girl who once loved her first love and still has it to this day A man who can't be forgotten? Her lines were not so many at first, so when she saw Sakutaro standing in the gym and feeling Aki's breath with her eyes closed, she showed an expression of pain and sadness, I thought it was a kind of jealousy and sadness. Unwilling. But later in the photo studio, she saw the wedding photo of Aki and Sakutaro, which was asked by Aki, who hoped not to be forgotten, to take it as a souvenir, but what she said was "I destroyed their Promise!" If I have to understand Ritsuko's love, I just want to say that she is too selfless, is it because my understanding of love is too narrow? When she spoke, when she saw Sakutaro listening to the tape and reminiscing about her first love, when she saw the commemorative wedding photos of Xiaoshuo and Aki with sad faces, when she saw Sakutaro taking Aki's ashes with relief. How did she feel when she was scattered in the wind of Uluru?
Or, I actually think that the screenwriter's arrangement of Ritsuko's role is really a bitter joke.
