The Best Japanese movie which does not receive appropriate evaluation,
By
This review is from: The Castle of Sand (DVD)
This movie is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I'll tell you. Watch this, You'll never forget this film. Especially, you cannot watch the last part without tears.This DVD seems to be from Hong Kong, so English subtitle is not so good; however, you'll be moved. If you can understand Japanese, buy the Japanese version. They have degital remaster version, which looks really beautiful and sound effects are much better than this. The story is basically about 2 detectives' crime investigation relating to the murder of retired police officer, Kenichi Miki. The plot seems to be suspense, but as you'll see later, it'll be totally different. Why did this kind police officer have to be killed? 2 detectives cannot find any answers. This movie is based on one of the best seller novels in Japan. The truth will be told with a symphony "Destiny" in last 40 minutes. You cannot watch without a handkerchief. Awards: http://amazon.imdb.com/title/tt0202604/awards Believe me. It's worth to see this.

Very Good Movie, So and so DVD,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Castle of Sand (DVD)
The Movie is very good, even though sometimes you may feel stuffed for the last 40 minutes with endless flow of heavy music (Destiny). Still it does a great job as a touching human tale. (The acting is simply superb) The reason I cannot give this product more stars is the subtitle. This DVD comes with two subtitles (Chinese and English), which are usually OK, but in some part, there is no subtitle in any language for 3 or 4 lines. It happens two or three times throughout the movie. (So, it is not too bad and no problem in catching up with the story) Other than that, no complain for the transfer, and very recommendable movie. So, if you have no other way to see this movie, this is the best option and I recommend it. But, sincerely hope somebody make a better version of DVD of these excellent Nomura classics as they did for Zero Focus & Demon.
