Family Is Based on Loyalty, Not Blood

I found this movie to be touching on a very personal level, slightly similar to Departures. I thought that the film kind of had a weird basis to start upon, like who would be psycho enough to switch a families child with another? But, I did like the way the movie unfolded and I found myself desiring a conclusion, which was very satisfying. I really liked the character development, story, and the way that the story was pieced together.
I found Ryota to be a very relatable character. My own father had to help raise three children who weren't his and so I understand how the family versus loyalty aspect applied to this film. I also found Yukari to be very relatable, because my father interacted with me and my nieces and nephews the same way that Yukari did with his children. So, I could understand both sides to this story, and that helped keep me more involved in the story and it made me feel like less of a viewer and more of a character.
I really liked how the families tried to treat this situation. Although Ryota was very rude in trying to take away the Saiki's child, they still over came this together. They tried to get the children together and hang out as one whole family, and I respected that. I liked how things were resolved in the end, but certain parts of the movie made me infuriated. How could a man give up a child that he had spent 6 years with? But, it was fine in the end.
Overall, I loved this movie. I like almost everything about it and I connected to many aspects of it.
