Review of Seventeen Years (1999) by Naoya K — 04 Jul 2008
This movie shows how little that five yuan (which was big money back then, and a lot for many even today) really means if we look back at events that occurred after a family fight about it.
Occasionally movie can feel bit tear-squeezing, meaning that some of the moments in movie might feel that they are put there just to make viewers cry... but mostly it's a well put together story with pretty good point.
It is also nice to see bit unconventional prison guard to be so selfless and give her just as short vacation time to help out an inmate, instead of celebrating new years with her parents as originally planned.
And last but not least:
That even the unforgivable can be finally forgiven.
Good movie.
