The Sea of Trees negative review
2022-06-25 12:42
The script of the film is bloody, the means of creating contradictions are lacking and powerless, the suspense setting is lacking, and the Western imagination of Japanese scenery and culture is exaggerated, which can be said to be a waste of the actors' hard work. ()
The Sea of Trees film has only 4 functions: hypnotize; enjoy the scenery of the Japanese forest; observe the simple mountain rescue process; ()
The film piles up a lot of Japanese elements to satisfy the fantasy of Westerners, so it is mysterious, superficial and stupid. ()

It's bad, but it's actually more mediocre. A survival(?) movie about family, redemption, and all the cliche of the East. The mediocrity makes people sleepy in the woods most of the time. If you remove the Cannes exhibition and Gus Van Sant's name, this is a DVD movie that will be quickly forgotten, but without these two labels, the firepower will not be so fierce...

Arthur Brennan: There's hardly any soil.

Takumi Nakamura: You must know, this forest is very powerful.
