Based on the long-seller manga by Ryohei Saigan, "Always" inspires
Japanese people's nostalgy to its good ol' 50's, with a huge VFX effort
to reproduce the era, including the half-built Tokyo Tower. The story is
rather simple - everyday life of the good town's people, their dreams,
hopes, love and tears, but the film was a big hit and highly acclaimed
due to its great balance of its powerful cast, well told story and the
nostalgic cinematography.
The film won 12 out of all 13 categories in Japan Academy Awards 2006,
including the best picture, best director, best actor, best supporting
actor, and best supporting actress..
