Intolerance

This is a film that is not so Cinematographic, also was recorded in digital but the point is the story in itself; centered in what other movies discard. I mean; how many people are involved in a certain action; how many are touched by a given action?

Is like a Chess game.

It have an Strong starting to let you shocked in no time.

You can see the embarrassment in the Japanese society; with their norms in which if you somehow are out, you will feel ashamed.

Showed also the lack of communication that leads to certain problems, like the Father who realized later about his influence over his daughter however; media editing process sometimes transform reality and can put wrong ideas in the Minds of the.implicated.

.The last shot is so touchy.

This is a powerful drama centred around the tragic accidental death of a schoolgirl. It depicts the characters around her coming to terms with their own unique responsibilities which led to the tragedy.

This is by no means dull or boring. I found it very moving, well scripted, filmed and acted out. 10/10.

When a schoolgirl dies after being chased from a shop by the store manager into oncoming traffic, a media frenzy ensues that touches the lives of many.

Kuhaku does a good job of lifting the lid on the dark side of digital society. Too many people rush to take offence by proxy, or are gleeful as they lash out as strangers, taking the lazy option of hubris rather than doing the difficult work of trying to understand. The script for Kuhaku is deftly written.

Yoshida does a good job in getting nuanced performances from Kisetsu Fujiwara and (especially) Aoi Itô. Itô's every expression captures the heartbreaking loneliness of a young girl ostracized by classmates, emotionally cut off from her father, and estranged from her mother. Arata Furuta gives his all to the role but I fear he was miscast. There is unfortunately something that does not quite convince in his angry displays. Itô is genuine and affecting, but Furuta always seems performative.

The film shines a light on the lack of compassion in modern times, and for that alone it is to be commended.

Kisetsu Fujiwara Arata FurutaAoi Itô.

The characters are trapped in their own way of living their lives. Some of them proud, arrogant, shy and sad. The conflict between them is heartbreaking.

The ending is something incredible.

The story of the film revolves around the death of the protagonist's (soeda mitsuru) daughter after a shoplifting.

The performances are perfect, and brilliantly portray the emotion of the charecters.

Though intense,it's a film grounded in reality.

The lack of music in the film adds to elevate the intense atmosphere of the film, and helps to draw the viewer in. The charecters feel deeply human and undergo satisfactory development through the film's run.

To sum it up, "intolerence" ,or "kûhaku", is a perfect drama , and an amazing film. Absolutely worthy of a 10/10 and definitely a must watch.
