Affectionate return to our friends on Third Street
|
"Always - Sunset on Third Street 2" is a true sequel; its story only makes sense if the viewer already has seen the first "Always" movie. The excellent cast returns for this heartwarming follow-up and the viewer is immersed in the familiar Third Street world right from the first notes of the opening theme. "Third Street 2" begins with a hilarious Godzilla spoof before picking up the threads of the stories left unresolved in the first film. We find the struggling writer still struggling, little Junnosuke struggling to stay with the writer, the garage owner's family embracing a new little resident, the country girl finding an old beau, and poor Hiromi trapped in a life on Tokyo's seamy side. The story in this film feels more manipulative than did the story in the first film, but the characters are so rich and the milieu so brilliantly realized that I for one was happy to be manipulated. This is film-making with real heart! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and expect that I will watch it again and again in years to come. Very highly recommended. |
