Review of Snow Falling on Cedars"
The film "Snow falling on cedars" by Scott Hicks, which was released in May 2000,Is about a murder trial in the US. The trial is influenced by prejudice and the clash of culture, between the Americans and Japanese people.The movie transfers the flashback, which also appears in the book, pretty good by different camera devices, light effects and e.g. the echo of Hatsue's voice. The scenes are linked in a impressive way, so you can easily understand the plot.You are overwhelmed by the flood of pictures from world war II or how the Japanese people are treated.The cast is pretty good with actors like Ethan Hawke, Youki Kudoh, Reeve Carney.A must, for everyone, who love love-story's and exciting movies about prejudice segregation and ww II.
