Note de bret_hart
Before I start trashing it, I should note that Family Man did have some nice usage of Snow for metaphor.
Family Man is terrible. Horrible. Awful. Mind-glowingly bad. It is the epitome of contrived plots, conflicts which border on the absurd, and characters who you can't relate with. The character of Kate Reynolds must be the most annoying female character ever created; her petty arguments with Jack Campbell, especially at the end (before he returned to the "Real world") never ceased to surprise me. I don't want to spoil the movie, but logically, most of what she said was ridiculous. For example, does one seriously think that raising children in New York, or one of its rich suburbs, is significantly more difficult than raising them in New Jersey?
Contrived arguments like that fill the movie, and it ends with the Alpha Male Campbell being reduced to a whiney Beta Male. I don't seem to understand how this could be considered Romantic. I hesitate to call the ending "realistic"; it seems more like the director wanted to give the audience a chance to make their own ending. (In other words; they were too cowardly to play out the concept to the realistic ending)
Thumbs way down. Not even if they paid you.

"Years might go by, but the mountain colour never change."
This movie is an excellent work of art by Keisuke Kinoshita.
It starts off with a new teacher being assigned to teach the first grade in a poor village. She is initially rejected from the community, and is gossiped about constantly. However the students she teaches fall in love with her style. One of her tasks is to teach the children to sing. However, instead of teaching school songs or patriotic songs, she teaches them folk songs. Misfortune strikes and she is forced to leave the school, but not before she makes a lasting impression on the children. They will see her again, as a teacher, but not for another five years.
From these humble beginnings a rich story about the poor in Japan before, during, and after World War 2 is shown. We get to know all twelve children ("24 eyes") in the movie, and eventually learn about their fates as adults. We see the equivalent of the "Red Scare" in Japan, and the saddening events caused by World War 2. Although overdramatic, the feelings still feel genuine and even the hardest of people will not be able to resist shedding a tear or two over the fates of the children you grow to love.
I can only ask you to watch the full 3 hours. That is the only way one can truly appreciate the beauty of this film. There is nothing else to be said.
