This movie was such a joy. As you probably know, the film is about a couple of deaf teenagers that seem to be starting a relationship. While there is sound in the movie, the dialog is sparse and the viewer does get a (very small) feel for what it might be like to be a deaf person in the relationship. But even that description doesn't feel like it does the film justice. The movie is subtle with a capital "S". Few words are spoken, but we can completely see what is going on with the couple and the people in their orbit. The way the story is told allows us to get a different point of view on a relationship that I can't remember seeing in another film. And the final scene - the hypnotic song and the visual are just tremendous together. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies

every once in a while i stumble upon a silent / relaxing movie such as this one, and i'm glad i did, i'm glad i finally watched it, i didn't regret one second of it the music of course, was captivating, i literally had a _Feeling_ that it was composed by Joe Hisaishi and it in fact was; the whole vibe of the movie was very soothing, but that sudden twist at the end, Shigeru just... disappearing into the waves, that was heart breaking, and even more so that ending montage of them and some scenes we never got to see on screen, their little moments together, that was too much for me i really didn't think and had no idea i'd get attached like this to A Scene at The Sea but i did, also when Takako honors Shigeru's memory by sticking that picture of them on his surf board and then letting it go like that, **man.**

The movie is kinda boring at first, like the real like, people just do things as usual, someone loved the surfing, then dedicate himself to it, the got a little rewards. The most important is the ending, when something is part of your life and you don't realized, suddenly it's lot, and then you looking back the your past life, all the beautiful and happiness came to your mind. Life is not boring, it's just life, we just get used to it and forgot about how beautiful it is, life is beautiful when you start to live with it.
