Ô Rûshî!

There is something to say of a film with such a slow casual pacing that keeps you enthralled and waiting for the next turn. The story and cast were wonderful with some unexpected turns. Watch and enjoy.

Love can be strangely overwhelming at the most odd times of our lives, and this movie shows us exactly that. I really enjoyed it and appreciate the people who make movies like this.

This is a tragedy that you do not know is a tragedy until it's about 3/4 of the way through. Up until then, you think it's a comedy of errors. It's not. Heartbreaking and very well done.

"Good bye".....and the life is gone.

In the case of Setsuko, in her mind it already had....and then John. Because she felt passed by, Johns teaching techniques created a sense of warmth to a lost soul and Setsuko's emotions flirted with love masqueraded by lust of a meaningful life.

The script and direction were exquisite as was the acting performances. None could be faulted.

The only reason I am not giving 10/10 is because there were a couple of goofs but I am a nerd so I am always hunting for faults.

This is a wonderful example of beautiful cinema. GO SEE IT!!

Not the best movie but entertaining enough. I wouldn't not watch it again. But I didn't fall asleep.
