Very good movie
| This movie got many echo ring inside you mind and you will ask yourselves many question, what should I do? Where should I go? When should I leave? It is because most of the situation mention in the movie, you will going to experience and have a really hard time. I am deeply touched by this movie because too many same picture appear in my mind, too. I really wish every child of their parent should watch and love your parent more. Time fly.... |

A towering achievement
|
"Tokyo Tower (Mom & Me, and Sometimes Dad)" packs an emotional wallop. It tells of a relationship between mother and son, from the son's childhood through his mature adulthood. Odagiri Joe stars as the son, Masaya, who is shunted between his separated parents as a child, and in the process develops a yearning for his mother's love and an irresponsible streak reflecting his father's thoughtlessness. After he moves to Tokyo, his mother begins a battle with cancer. After the cancer recurs, Masaya brings his mother to Tokyo to live with him. It is here when the film's emotional grip really takes hold, as we watch the mother's health slowly deteriorate and the son's efforts to hold onto her. It is rare to find a film that so deeply and honestly explores the bond between parent and child. The movie is particularly powerful because its characters are not plaster saints, but flawed human beings. Mr. Odagiri, Kiki Kirin (as his elderly mother), Uchida Yayako (as Masaya's young mother), Kobayashi Kaoru (as the father), and the luminous Matsu Takako (as Masaya's girlfriend) all give full-bodied, believable performances. Anyone who has lost a loved one will find "Tokyo Tower" to be a cathartic and uplifting experience. Its emotional power is such that I had to turn the film off and give myself a 5-minute break as it neared its climax. This is no mere manipulative tearjerker; "Tokyo Tower" is real life. Watch it! |

Tokidoki English subtitles
| I love this movie but I need it with English subtitles so I can show it in my Asian Literature class here in NYC. The performances are wonderful, you get to see Kokura. Fascinating how different this movie is from the book. For example, Lily Frankie's book, "Boku" talks about how guilty he feels sometimes because Nagasaki was A-bombed instead of Kokura so he is okay but his uncle in Nagasaki was wounded terribly. |
