Some movies and some books have an essence that is difficult to put into words because the emotions they allow you to feel are well beyond speech. This story may start by being about resentment, unspoken hurt and pain, but eventually it also becomes about great love, affection and devotion. Most of it had been happening behind the scenes or in the shadows, which is why misunderstandings had happened and unnecessary sadness grew and bitterness festered. The poetic quality of this story is nothing short of amazing. At one point I couldn't help but shed a few tears for Kosaku, whose life seemed to be somehow commanded by his pain for being abandoned as a child, but never quite believing in the love his mother held for him. In a way this movie is a story of redemption for several characters.
