"heartwarmingly superb" KIKUJIRO IS SIMPLY THE BEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN SINCE THE TITANTIC. It's themes are real issues in life , the hard side of life is portrayed of a little boy living in Japan with his grandmother , after being coldly abandoned by his mother who chose a new husband and new family over him sans explanation . The movie triumphantly carries the viewer through the beauty of Japan's culture and the harsh reality of the little boy's life superbly and eloquently. This movie offers adventures and suprisingly funny and hilarious moments thanks to Beat Takeshi's mean tough guy role. This movie is a must see. The soundtrak alone will bring tears to your eyes tears of joy and tears of sadness, yet tears that will replenish your memories of such a fine film. |
