Featured review
Yakuza and Okinawa
I had forgotten what this movie was about so when I sat and watched it I expected a drama. I quickly found out I was very wrong. Main players in this movie is a tough local girl, an escaped yakuza boss, the local yakuza, and a poor village.
The girl is not a little weak girl like women are often in these gangster movies. She is involved in fighting several times in the movie.
I found the story engaging. Topics this movie touch is: The american occupation of Okinawa, relationship between Okinawa and mainland Japan, and the hard impact the war had on the civilians on Okinawa. But main part of the story is the conflict with the bad yakuza.
I found the acting good and the fighting scenes were also good.
Would I recommend this movie? If you can live with older movies and like the Japanese gangster movies then go for it by all means. I personally found it refreshing and above average. Actually I enjoyed it a lot :-)
