You know, I'm still surprised that Kishi really left the message the way it did for the movie. I thought it will be something redeemable for SS side. Honestly, I was giving a benefit of a doubt. That somehow speaks to me. I mean here are my old thoughts before the release:
- That trailer with the rose giving. I actually thought it would be a sendoff moment since Sakura has to go back to the real world. I actually thought like Sakura was like gotta go and such, then Sasuke gives her the rose as always remember that I'm on your side, making it a happy go-to moment for SS.
- Sakura probably brag that even though she is happy to be back home, she will miss that Sasuke. Naruto would go that comedy face, "Eh..."
- Bunch of SS, mainly my sig moment but SS edition. Don't ask.
- The message is very light as in saying it's not your world but you sure would have like it to be, so no moral learned from both of them. As a viewer, this would get me upset.
But man, talk about wrong direction on my end. I do blame the advertisements in a way, but I would be lying if I don't say people in here are to blame. No offense guys, not all of you but I still remember that small outbreak on the ads. Anyway, after reviewing the movie, I was happy yet shocked at how it was handled. Hell, he pretty much said, "Screw that, it's Naruto." Otherwise, that beginning and ending with Naruto/Sakura wouldn't happened. I seriously apologize for this but it's like what they say, "Why hate on SS when Kishi is doing it for us." Again, sorry, but that's the feeling I got for a while.
