Movie Reviews of Sayonara
Movie Review: Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Sayonara" is a great movie! The story is compelling, emotional & impactful. It also has themes that will make one think. The movie touched my heart.
I had not heard of "Sayonara" before I "came across it" on cable television. Therefore, I assume that it is a movie that has been "flying under the radar." It has all of the qualities of a classic, such as "Rocky" & "Star Wars." However, for "Sayonara" to be considered on the same level as other classics, then people have to "get the word out."
Marlon Brando & Miiko Taka are superb as the two main characters. Red Buttons, Miyoshi Umeki, Patricia Owens & Ricardo Montalban are wonderful in their supporting roles. James Garner ("The Great Escape" & "The Rockford Files") is one of my favorite actors & he complements Marlon Brando very well in a supporting role. I highly recommend "Sayonara!"
Summary of Sayonara
The story of American servicemen on leave in Japan during the Korean War, and the anguish they suffer after being spurned by both societies for loving Japanese women.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: NR
Release Date: 11-JAN-2005
Media Type: DVD
Based on a novel by James Michener, Sayonara earned a fistful of Oscar? nominations (including Best Picture, Director, and Actor) in 1957 and wound up winning statuettes for supporting actors Red Buttons and Miyoshi Umeki. Marlon Brando plays a Korean War fighter pilot, the son of a general, reassigned to Japan, where fraternization with local women is taboo. After breaking off his engagement to another general's daughter, he finds himself falling for a Japanese entertainer (Miiko Taka), then struggling with his own bias. Subplots deal with other servicemen (played by Buttons and James Garner) who also fall for Japanese women. Directed by Joshua Logan from a script by Paul Osborn, the film takes a then-daring look at prejudice as well as post-war racial bias against the Japanese. Brando's Southern accent makes him sound like Matthew McConaughey, while Buttons is actually touching as tough, tender American struggling against racism. --Marshall Fine
