Product: Snow Falling on Cedars (2000)
Rating: 3.0
Worth seeing, not buying
It is encouraging that in a growing number of ways, Americans are looking back and doing some self-criticism on issues like social and racial discrimination. The plot blends romance, history and mystery but in the end it is human nature and love that prevails. The movie keeps the viewer's interest throughout, but is not a keeper DVD.Plus: Very good cinematography and use of camera; good acting; strong references to the historical tension of Jap-American relationships.Cons: Constantly dark scenes, which may be atmospheric, but tiring; A bit slow at times.
