Good film that just didn't click with me
dbborroughs1 June 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Slacker in Okinawa upsets the way things are being done beginning with setting off a flare during a blackout air raid drill. From there things spiral this way and that as he tries to find his footing among the people in his village and the American Military people stationed in the town.

I'm not going to lie to you this is a good but not great film didn't click with me. For me there is too much rambling nature to the proceedings and the heightened sense of nostalgia that fills the films very being seemed to me to be a bit too forced. It ultimately seemed to be trying too hard. I can see how some people would really like the film, but for me the film just didn't work.

Worth a look if you run across it.
