I suspect my review is what's confusing by trying to not give away all of the story and writing it late at night. 😄 I'll go back and rework it.
The story is completely streamlined due to time constraints but in a way most drama watchers will know how to fill in the blanks. The most confusing part for me was a white priest being the father of his friend's descendant. The priest turned out to be Marty Friedman, Megadeath's lead guitarist who for years now does a lot of work in Japan! 😅
Sounds incredibly moving. So this was a documentary?
Yes. It was a documentary made by Samantha detailing how they found each other and went from strangers to sisters. It was roughly made but the story was moving.
Yeah, no slapstick is a no for me. The only ones that ever worked for me was Stephen Chows movies and even then,…
I think they were trying to make the next Jackie Chan and laid an egg. Although I have a soft spot for Hwang Jang Lee who was nearly always relegated to bad guy roles.
Shaolin Soccer is one of the few slapstick kung fu flicks I actually enjoyed. ⚽️😄
Hachi’s childish behavior was the reason I didn't enjoy the drama much too. At times it was frustrating to watch.…
I don’t know if there will be a second season but they sure left it open for one. Guess we’ll see if Amazon thinks it’s cost effective. If they do I hope Hachi grows up.
Good review but another one of those I don't think I have the stomach for.
Thank you. 😊
I was looking for something lighter, like one town helping another out because they knew what it was like to lose everything. Then to see the friendships forged as they bonded. Or even to see if the broken couple found their way back to each other after nearly 20 years. This was not that film 😔
I watched this on the Criterion Channel (subscription). There are two different endings depending on which version you watch. The international version has an additional kaiju at the end!

I needed this short uplifting film after watching Obayashi’s House. Now that was a weirdly confusing film 😳
