Trivia for the movie 5 Centimeters Per Second

5 Centimeters Per SecondQuotes
Kanae Sumida (segment “Cosmonaut”): When I get near Tono I get this tight sensation deep in my chest. He’s so nice. Sometimes it makes me want to cry.

Kanae Sumida (segment “Cosmonaut”): The more I see Tono, the more I love him. It’s been scary… every day’s been painful. But… every time I see him, I’m happy. And there was nothing I could do about it.

Trivia
The title 5 Centimeters Per Second comes from the speed at which cherry blossoms petals fall, petals being a metaphorical representation of humans, reminiscent of the slowness of life and how people often start together but slowly drift into their separate ways

Goofs
If cherry petals would fall by 5 centimeters per second, it would take them one minute to fall from a 3 meter high tree. Obviously they fall around ten times faster, even when pictured in the movie.
