The period in Japanese Cinema when one half of every love pair died?
Ok, I'm from America, but I generally watch Asian cinema as a hobby starting from when I was 12 and getting help from a lot of friend who are obsessed with cinema or Japan or both. I haven't seen it all or anything, but Japan produces far less movies and cinema than America or otherwise there's a disparity of what we can get here, but what I'm getting to is this:
Wasn't there this long era in Japanese cinema where everyone who fell in love, inevitably one half of the pair would die or otherwise be separated and, or suffer a terrible string of tragedies, or just one tragedy with a lot of focus on that, or death generally, or basically how everything is just terrible and you sort of have these moments and, or people and, or points of view that are not terrible amidst all the tragedy.... or is that happening in my mind?
I feel like I could predict like clockwork by the time the first Final Fantasy movie came out how if two people fell in love one of them would inevitably die..
