Ashequl I @Tofa13 1 day ago Sayonara, a Marlon Brando classic. A romantic film about an American major and a Japanese stage dancer. It showcases how their love develops while exploring the realities of racism and tradition. The movie was great, and the story worked perfectly. The ending was sad and genuinely shocking. The screenplay was good, and the comedy worked well too. The movie’s main attraction has to be Marlon Brando. His acting and charisma were unmatched. The movie could have been a masterpiece if it had explored its themes in a more grounded way, but it never really felt grounded enough. Overall, a great watch.

Set in post WWII Japan, this movie touches on prejudice against interracial marriages. Brilliantly shot and acted.

Balanced character development, balanced story telling, even the performances were well balanced. Sure a couple of parts do get me but honestly, I was glad enough to love it all from start to finish even when the period takes place after the second World War especially when both sides would still bicker and some would let it all go and move on. If it comes to some old movies, I do recommend this.

Just look at their automobile production! UDad: They can't make decisions. U: Seems they can on cars. UDad: When I worked with them, they gotta all consult each other and go through lots of team communication- U: Sounds good. UDad: No. Just make a freaking decision. They treat their managers like God as he always makes the final decision, but it's really the team's decision. U: What's wrong with that? UDad: (waves hand away) And everything is so deep to them. U: So? UDad: This guy hands me a kanji of my name and went over how deep everything was in it (imitates badly) This is a very sacred letter... U: That sounds beautiful. UDad: Who cares. U: The Japanese do! UDad: Then this one guy spends at least a few minutes talking about his zen garden every time I just needed numbers (imitates badly) Oh how the sunrise on my coy pond made me connect with the entire universe! U: That sounds really nice, Dad. I think you're jealous. UDad: (drinks beer) It ain't my thing, my dear. U: You just can't handle they are better than US. UDad: They do have better toilets. U: Yeah, I know... See more Read all reviews
