A movie that doesn't take any chances.

Set in 1910 during the industrialization in Japan, this movie depicts the conflict between a mining company and a farming village in Ibaraki Prefecture. Based on true events, the movie deals with environmental issues, capitalism and idealism.

This felt like watching a documentary. The story overall was interesting, but the execution wasn't that good. It wasn't a bad movie, but it felt pretty generic and slow at times. I would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't as long and if they had fleshed out the characters more.

Considering this was released in 2019 because of the music and the cinematography it felt like the movie was way older. I do think that it was fitting the story. We got some pretty landscape shots and I liked the setting. The two lead actors did a good job and I liked how the movie showed the struggles of both sides.

If interested in the topic it's good enough for a one time watch but nothing too memorable.
