It certianly wasn’t the most amazing movie I have ever watched but it slowly grows on you as you realize the subtly of it all. It has has the problem of being a bit slow and dis-jointed. The other problem being it is at times hard to know exsactly what is happening. Nothing in the plot is explict, everything is shown not told but after all isn’t that the art of movie making? The father’s retirment, the feelings and opnions of the characters are all implied. It is actually pulled off quiet well. As I realized all of this, it also dawned on me that this is the nature of Asian culture. So dispite feeling bored at some points this movie has a lot of good moments, if you are intrested in film making styles this is a film you should check out.
