Fantastic Movie, 29 June 2005
9/10
Author: Elwin Bullard from United States

This was the movie I saw on my first adult date. I was so encompassed by the story and cinematography that I soon forgot I was reading subtitles.

While the story may seem slow at first once the depiction of another society so far removed in time and place from our own gives the viewer a new look on the what shaped the lifestyle of the Japanese culture

You cannot help but be swept up in the crisis of the time depicted.

We tend to forget the world was not always as it is today, especially for us jaded Americans.
