Originally wanted to give two stars, but I was used to giving at least three, so I gave three.
Maybe it's too focused on sex, not realizing at first that the Japanese-American and Pia riding a carriage through the autumn woods is a dream, or an imagination.
There are too many shortcomings to say. I had to talk about the excellent things. At the end of the play, the beauty imagined that her husband stood up after learning the truth, and felt a burst of joy in her heart. That kind of joy is what a woman with special needs for stimulation should have. She feels satisfied inside, so she doesn't think it hurts her husband.
The plot I originally envisaged was that the Japanese and American people thoroughly introspected and felt extremely regretful. Ordinary people like me would have thought so too, but the director went beyond the clichés. But it is not only beyond the cliché, but also a qualitative improvement of the theme expressed in the work.
We assume that Japanese Americans will reflect and repent. The theme will be simple, the story of a middle-class young woman who cheats and gets reworked.
But the Japanese and American people are more happy in their hearts, and the theme of the film will become a criticism of the whole society. To what extent have the ideological and moral degenerates of a typical class of young middle-class women represented by Japanese and Americans? It is not the Japanese beauty alone, like the brothel where the Japanese beauty is located, there are countless in the city at that time.
