Everytime i saw the movie on instagram its made out to be the SADDEST movie ever and youre better off not watching because its so sad. The movie had a sad middle with a happy ending and almost everything worked out for both. Idk if its the usual internet habit of making everything out to be "THE thing" whether its the saddest, the best, or the most depressing everything gets a shallow title.

Im wondering if shouko really loved shoya when she said i love you to him, or was it just that she has built a wrong idea of him and that was just misdirected emotional moment? I know i havent explained what i meaned the best but i feel like its understandable,
TLDR:did she love him or was she confused on what love is?
Edit: i dont mean during or towards the end of the story, i mean before she jumped off; when she tried to say i love you to him. Im asking because it felt a bit out of the blue.
