125 Years Memory (2015)

So, if you are someone who loves historic stories as myself, and especially if it has to do with Japan, then definitely this movie is something for you to watch.
The story-line is not long, it is short but intense, the whole film is so detailed and carefully focusing on the little things that make the big scene.
It's thrilling, exciting, and very entertaining - well, in a very emotional way.. Gotta say.

The casts are brilliant, well-known actors & actresses with their phenomenal performances are shining as usual there, Uchino Masaaki is slaying his role as he always does, his English accent is pretty good compared to the most of the Japanese actors & actresses who aren't used to speak the language, anyway.. I'm obsessed with him since ever, his charming personality comes through every role he performs!
All the Japanese cast were so much into the environment that was displayed through the story, their humbleness, kindness, modesty and their warmth, all and more are shown perfectly there in every single movement.
To be honest, I know none of these Turkish actors but I fell in love with them all immediately! & a big shout out to (Mustafa), the Turkish actor -I have no idea what's his real name- is indeed a prince charming, not only because of his pretty face and fancy uniform, but also because of his gusty character, nobleness, broken heart & softness, everything was combined in his character & this Turkish actor never failed to convey it throughout his smart performance.

The Music is not super wow, but it was meaningful and descriptive enough to get you drown into the depth of the scenes - yes, it's all about a trip in the deep of the sea, you don't float, you sink beneath its waves!

Finally and briefly, the moral of the story is all about (Karma), You do 'good', and 'good' gets back to you - even after years! & it is so powerful to see it with your own eyes and to hear it with your own ears, it is history and history never lies. So Yes, go and watch it and have some goosebumps.

Last but not least -I just said finally but I came back, doesn't matter!-.
It is a huge piece of art, a distinguished human project, a unique collaboration between two nations, massive efforts that have been accumulated to come as this movie, so.. Hats Off to everyone had a small or a big part on this movie, you are done with your life agendas, don't worry about doing something great in your life, you've already done one, you're an accomplished person..

It's okay

I never expected a movie to be made about this incident, but I was so happy to find this.
That doesn't mean this is a great movie, though. Rather than a polish, in my opinion, it needs a whole structural change from the start. The story is told as if you're reading a passage from a history book, especially in the first act. Which sucks, because this would have worked really well had it been written more character-driven with such a tragic event.

The reincarnation trope was unnecessary though. Also lighting in the dark scenes were atrocious, I could barely see anything even when I turned on the brightness. Please stop, y'all.
