Biruma no tategoto (The Burmese Harp)
Although I hate it when anyone ever says something like this, I feel like I'm giving this movie a higher rating than is my natural inclination just because it seems like it deserves a higher rating. You know you can sense that it is a good movie, and not just because it's on Criterion Collection. I don't know why I'm saying that or if it's even true. I hate when people say that.
There really are some beautiful moments. And the ending made me physically cry for a moment. But most of it seemed kind of boring. Although I don't think it should have been. Why am I blaming myself here?
