I also haven’t seen this film in a long time - 45+ years, but I was talking about it with my wife this morning. When I went to see if RUclips had it, I found your video. I liked your observations.
I saw this film about 30 years ago and it has haunted my mind ever since. A beautiful and touching movie. Yes it might be a little over emotional but so what. Seeing those adorable children, how they grow over the years and the teacher who loves them like her own children. Then comes the war and half of these children don't survive it. How would you make a story like this less emotionally? It's a shame that this movie is so less known in western countries.
One of the best movies I have seen this year, Japanese media is indeed a notch above others.
I watched a lot of WW2 Japanese movies for a class and found them so refreshing from the typical western movies.

The rotten tomatoes critics described this movie as “sentimental” and “thin soup”. I would call it the most powerful anti-war movie ever made.
It was my favourite movie in my Japanese WW2 movie class.
@@daniela_whatever that’s nice to hear. 🙂👍

You should do another one for the movie Late Spring starring Setsuko Hara. Her acting and life story is amazing.
I will check it out! I'm always interested in Japanese cinema.
Absolutely. Great great actress who appeared in many films by Yasujiro Ozu who is considered one of the great directors of all time.
There’s a big difference between striptease and a strip show
Oh really? Why don't you tell us what the difference is, and why it makes one atom of difference to this movie?
1. Speak clearly! 2. Edit carefully. This was horrible.
