A social commentary about generation gap and miscommunication, ageing society, urbanization versus rural life, tradition versus modernity. Wonderful camera work, that captures beautifully the landscapes and the everyday life of their lucky inhabitants, as well as the intriguing world of Kagura dance tradition.
Soothing and somehow comforting, with its picturesque, fairylike forest scenery, this mini drama is a perfect break from all the angsty drama-world and real life's dramas :)
I've watched it years ago (rented a dvd) and watched it again raw. Of course, didn't understand a word, but I remembered most of the plot, so it was easy to follow. Sorry for not being of help...
It may be ur bias partly but the real u liked it bcz japanese make anything with their heart n the emotions are…
It true that some j-dramas invest more on emotions and conveying social messages, and do it in the most compelling way, but there are also many k-dramas that are also successfully provoking. I'm trying to find and enjoy the best each country has to offer ^^
An interesting and insightful documentaristic presentation of the Uyghur minority, their everyday life, tradition and struggles, through the eyes of three kids, their friendship and families. Beautiful landscape scenes and naturalistic filming of these kids playing are among the film's strengths.
Nostalgic, emotional and equally funny, inspiring but not didactic. A realistic depiction of the harsh everyday life of rural China in the 90s, with lots of cleverly buried messages/criticism, and a wonderful red-cheeked girl playing a stubborn child teacher.
Though it's 17y older, I liked this version more than its korean remake. Is it because I'm biased with Tsumabuki Satoshi? I found it more realistic, raw and quirky.
