I Wish—highly
imaginative Japanese film—is scripted for the teen and adult audience. It’s a
good watch.
Storyline
Two
brothers, Ryunosuke Kinami (Oshiro Maeda) and Kohichi Ohsako (Kohki Maeda), live
in two diverse Japanese cities. Ryunosuke Kinami lives with their musician father
and Kohichi Ohsako lives with their mother and grandparents. Kohichi comes to
believe that when two new Japanese bullet trains pass each other for the first
time that human wishes will be granted. Kohichi desperately desires his family
to be re-united again. He sets out with several friends on a journey to witness
the bullet trains passing each other so that he can yell his wish and have a
miracle come true.
