Movie Review
At first I thought this film would be a depressing film to watch, but I was surprised that the film was actually very uplifting. Although it was a sad story, it has a very powerful message if you watch it to the end, that will encourage you to move on even when life gets to its darkest moment.
This story was about typical problems of a dysfunctional family in Japan. The leader of the family lost his job and was afraid to tell the family, the elder son joins American army and go to war, the younger son wanted to learn the piano but the father forbids him, the wife was depressed of trying to hold the family together. The film was so delicate and beautiful. It captures the feeling of each character and the whole depressive atmosphere of Tokyo as well. The pace was slow but not boring because you can follow the story very easily and you can sympathize with each one of the characters.
Definitely a must see movie!
