Product: Snow Falling on Cedars (2000)
Rating: 3.0
Very different
Although this movie is slow moving, especially during the court trial, it's a very beautiful movie. Not only is it visually appealing but it's a movie that doesn't require words. You can sense what the characters are feeling just by watching and reading their body language and that's what makes this movie very moving and powerful. The most powerful and moving movies are the ones in which you can sense the character's emotions without hearing them speak. Throughout the movie, I felt sorry for Ishmael because he couldn't get over his Katsu and still had no much love for her. At the same time I had no hard feelings towards Katsu because she was doing what she felt was right.
