This movie tells a dark tale of the Japanese internment during WWII. More than that, it tells another tale of love between a Caucasian American and A Japanese American. That's interesting, and very sad, but I LOVE this movie for the Cinematography. It is an Art Film due to the fantastic job by Robert Richardson. The story didn't hold up. It was nominated for Best Cinemtography, but didn't win. It should have. It is a truly amazing feast for the eyes with an okay story behind it. I also think that the Academy had a difficult time recognizing internment. They're way too PC for that. WATCH this movie, and just take the story for what it is. There is a way too much gratuitous nudity for younger audiences. The movie would have been much better if they simply implied, and it would have stood up better without this weird fixation. It really cheapens on otherwise great movie.
