[Bumped over from /tv/] Hey guys, extremely long-time lurker

what illness specifically?

Really don't remember that detail. I'm leaning towards "some kind of disease where she loses control of her body", but I'm not exactly certain on that. I don't remember it being that much the focus of the movie.

If you are that desperate you could translate your question into Japanese (or pay someone to) and post it on a Japanese website.

Another option is to see if Cathay Pacific has a list somewhere of their past inflight movies (airline geeks might know if this is possible.)

Any idea what kind of Japanese website would be fitting for this? I could probably do that with my basic level of Japanese + dictionary/Google.

I've had a look at Cathay's movie list but it only shows the current and upcoming movies. I'm very close to emailing someone there just to ask for some kind of clue, but I don't have hopes for a response. I might do just that actually..

You don't have to email Cathay, though you can if you want. There are forums for airline enthusiasts that would know this type of stuff.

No, unsure sorry. I know Japan had their own 4chan, but have never visited.

Have you tried posting this on "tip of my tongue"?

Just had a look at Cathay website, doesn't look like they have any kind of general enquiry email address so I don't think that will work, and I can't even be mad at them for this..

I must admit I have no idea about airline enthusiast forums, it feels like I've not lurked the internet enough now that I'm surprised that this is a thing... A Google search for that doesn't come up with much relating to movies either but alas..

Didn't know about Tip of my Tongue (I'm assuming you're referring to the subreddit). Have posted the same on that and hoping for results now.
Thanks for that dude. This is turning out to be a really great time killer.

A few more hours in to the search, the less luck I have of finding this movie, the more I'm inclined to believe that it was some slightly indie kind of movie that was either shown at some film festival or won an indie award of some sort. Perhaps another clue for the film enthusiasts here..?

This is an interesting thread and I'll be following the development of this issue closely.

there are a lot of keywords related to "illness" on the IMDb

http://www.imdb.com/search/title

start writing "illness" in the Keywords box, then select one of them, and then the other options that may narrow down the search (language, year, etc.); example:

http://www.imdb.com/search/title?countries=jp&keywords=terminal-illness&languages=ja&release_date=2000,

for now I can find "Hanachan no misoshiru" (2015) but it doesn't fit your description very well

>>16306593

That's heaps neat, didn't know about this feature on IMDB. Even so, having played around with it a bit, the most hits I could get (illness, Japanese) was 35 and the movie wasn't there either.. Holy shit.

I think this movie must have been indie as shit or something..

Also, was suggested Hanachan no Misoshiru as well, sounds heaps similar in story, probably worth a look. I tried looking at relevant movies on the IMDB page with no luck either...

Thanks for the help though
