Midnight Sun - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
The song title 'Burn So Bright'
The title of Katie's main song is a thematic nod to the original Japanese film's title, A Song to the Sun, referencing the intensity and brevity of her life.
The Washington State setting
By setting the film in the Pacific Northwest, the director pays homage to the Twilight saga (also set in Washington), which features similar themes of forbidden love and a girl obsessed with a boy from afar (and the author of Twilight later released a book also titled Midnight Sun).
