I didn't like the performance by Adam Beach. He was always smiling, even in the sad/serious scenes. Mia was pretty good.
shareIf you think about it, that was how she remembered him. Her optimistic best friend. During the hallucinations, I think she needed that constant sunshine, so she could keep going.

Responding 5 years later, but I just watched the movie :). I, too, felt the smiling was just WEIRD and it had me questioning Adam Beac's acting abilities. But once his death is revealed, it all makes sense.
This is how his father could call to him that he's needed and it's time to come back, and he mysteriously does. It makes Peko's lack of concern make sense. They never discussed her illness other than his asking the name of it once.
He is smiling throughout because he knows this is not the end for her but instead, the beginning of the two of them finally being inseparable.
