人狼 - Jin Roh (5)

Just watched this movie (German dub, running on http://www.arte-tv.com/ - get that channel when you're in Europe!) and I want to recommend it. Pretty decent animation and style and a nicely told fairytale, sometimes almost a bit too poetic, but always firmly grounded in the violent reality that is essential to every battle.

The ending surprised me, but I won't say why, don't want to spoilt it. I don't think I'd even watch the movie again, but that means little. There are a lot of awesome movies who aren't to be watched more than once. I don't know if this is generally such a movie. But I think you should watch it if you haven't so far.

It is a year ago that I lost you.
I hope you still watch over me from the heaven.
You were my first girlfriend in my life.
I was so glad to have such a wonderful girlfriend like you. I was really happy.
But everything changed when you were suddenly diagnosed with leukemia. It was so painful to watch you languishing day by day on the hospital bed.
You sometimes smiled and said, "I didn't know that hospital is such a boring place."
Did you know that I was crying behind your back every time after I saw your weak smile?
I gave you my old laptop so that you could spend your time on surfing the Internet. I vividly remember your happy face at that time.
That way, you started the Internet.
You especially liked the BBS called "2-channel." You accessed to the BBS all the day.
One day, you said with your accustomed smile,
"Look! I got a 2-GET again!"
"You shouldn't access to the Internet all the day. It is bad for your health," I said.
"I know, but look! This 3rd guy says, '2-GET!' But actually he didn't, you know? It's so funny, isn't it?"
I didn't say anything more. I couldn't, because you looked so happy.
"Look! This 3rd guy is now saying, 'Damn!' He is using funny ASCII art! He is a kind of cute, isn't it?"
I was just silent. Seeing your smile, I felt inexpressibly sad.
Then, she sighed, "I hope he will remember..."
"...I hope he will remember that he was snatched his '2' by someone he had never met. I hope he will remember it even after I've gone away...Well, I know it is not likely, but I hope..."

Several months later, you left the world, surrounded by your family and me.

You are not in the world any more.
And now I am clicking the F5 key again and again.
So that the 3rd guy will remember you.
So that he will remember you forever and ever.
Now, together with you in the heaven, I will here engrave:
           2  G  E  T
