Yesterday, I went to see Shunji Iwai’s new film, Last Letter, with a woman I was seeing on opening day.
This content is machine-translated.
When we left the theater, I said, “Let’s end this. Let’s put an end to this dirty business today,” and she replied, “I was just thinking the same thing. I’m quitting for good as of today. Thank you for everything up until now,” and we shook hands and parted ways.
She waved goodbye with a side of herself I had never seen before, then disappeared.
I had already left the club, so I contacted all the other women I was seeing to say goodbye.
Everything ended last night.
I dedicate this film to all the male and female members.
This is Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office.
Since this wasn’t actually a question, I was going to delete it, but it’s received quite a few answers.
Would it be better to leave it visible? I’m not sure what the right call is.
(That said, another staff member might suddenly delete it anyway.)
But the answers kept coming in, so I decided to make it visible.

I’m not really a fan of Shunji Iwai—I get the impression that he’s a narcissist who deals in nothing but pretty platitudes. Just seeing the ads makes me feel exhausted…
Movies are entertainment, so I think it’s fine to take them for what they are and leave it at that.

I haven’t seen the movie, so I can’t say whether it’s good or bad, but I honestly don’t understand what makes people see this as “so dirty.”
I can only assume it’s because money is involved in a romantic—or pseudo-romantic—relationship between a man and a woman.
This is my personal opinion, and I often mention it in my answers: Is it not also “dirty” when a husband in an ordinary marriage gives his stay-at-home wife money for living expenses? Money is involved in their romantic relationship too, isn’t it?
Anyway, if you feel it’s dirty, I think you should simply quit the dating club.
After all, if you decide you don’t like being married, you can get divorced and put an end to it.
I think the questioner simply wasn’t suited, personality-wise, to the setting of a dating club.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member.
If I get the chance, I might go see it later tonight.
I just happened to read an article about Masaharu Fukuyama saying, “Let’s make sleeping in the bathroom the last time,” too.
P.S. I just finished watching *Last Letter*.
It was a story about a pure, heartfelt love letter, and it was a better movie than I expected.
There were also some great lines in it that made me want to share them with the woman I’m currently seeing.
Since it’s about a pure first love, I felt it also encouraged me to cherish the woman I’m dating.
But I didn’t really understand how it led to “the end.”
I felt it was a story about continuing to cherish someone important, with those feelings growing stronger and the love deepening… or did I misunderstand it?
