    A view of Japan westerners rarely see.
  

*by T***U on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2003*

Kurosawa has taken a simple, common event that many have done and turns it into a physical and emotional adventure.  A simple date between a man and a woman set in very early post war Japan and what it means to be building a life together at that time.He is a returned soldier trying to deal with a new Japan.  He has lost the dream of serving his emperor and is now living the nightmare of a defeated and destroyed Japan.  It seems like he is a man with little hope of any sort of a future.  Yet he is engaged.His fiancee however is trying to build a life togeher for them.  Not only does she have to care for herself but she is also trying to get her fiance to look ahead to a getter life together.The detail that Kurosawa shows is sobering.  He is wearing a threadbare suit.  She is wearing shoes that are falling apart.  There are ruins all around them - evidence of a destroyed Japan.  But there are bright spots too.  They meet some children and for a few minutes he is playing baseball with them and she is cheering them on.  For a moment he is happy until a broken window ends the game.  How many Americans can relate to this scene?  I can - up to and including the broken window.  The kids scatter and he pays for the window and the adventure continues.They come across a model home.  She wants to see it and he is not interested.  Again, she gets him interested in what life can be like.  The cost of the house is beyond them but it gives them a few moments to dream of a better future.This movie has more events.  They go to his miserable little apartment and have a fight.  They look for another apartment to live together in without succcess.  His meeting a friend in what is probably a black market club.  The hurry through the rain to a concert to hear Schubert's Unfinished Symphony only to see the last few cheap seats bought up by a scalper.  He tries to get tickets and in the ensuing fight with the scalper, looses. They end up in a small clearing where this time, he comes to life.  He talks of his dreams, he gives an imaginary performance of Schubert's work.  They are both laughting and having fun.  The movie ends with them planning the next date.This is a sobering movie.  It is about a Japan that existed 58 years ago.  It is a Japan those of us born after 1945 know nothing about.  Kurosawa's charecters probably typify the young men and women of that time.  He is trying to rebuild a life for himself and she is trying to build a future that is for both of them.Given the post war time frame and it being the height of the US occupation of Japan, there are no Americans in the film - not even the jeeps of the occupation forces are seen.  This is a film about Japanese lives only.The movie is not a happy ending.  They make palns for their date the following sunday but you come away wondering if they will be able to make it.  Thre are many obstacles ahead of them - does he have the will to live to get over them?  You don't really know.This is an impressive film.  It is a sobering film.  It is a film worth watching.  I recommend it to everyone with an interest in Japan and the occupation period of Japanesehistory.  I think it is one of Kurosawa's best films.  It is unfortunate that it is not more widely known.

    Aftermath of the end of the war for the Japanese citizen.a viewpoint
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2008*

We have heard the stories what it was like here after the war against the Japanese but seldom, if ever, do we get to have a peek into the society and the day to day life of the defeated Japanese, the average person as they try to continue with their lives interrupted by the war and the destruction of both their social and physical strutures. This movie was made at the time depicted and within the structure of the Allied censorship so there is no anti-Americanism but the anger for the defeated Japanese military imperalism is clearly just below the surface. This film was intended to rally the people to keep moving forward towards a better day. I rated this 4/5 stars only because it was made during a period of censorship and "stuff" had to be left out. It would otherwise rate a easy "5" stars.
