Two Homelands (2019)

Why I watched: I watch as many projects with Oguri Shun as I can, they usually don't disappoint and this was no exception

Story: The story conveyed the conflicts in the individuals as well as families but never told you how to feel. It laid the events as they happened out for you and let you decide. That while the over arcing stress of the war and effects of it was going on, normal stress was still going on as well and the conflict heightened it. While a VERY heavy topic that could have been tipped either way to may a political point, was handled as hands off as it could possibly could.

Acting: EVERYONE. Every single actor in this pulled their weight. There was no wooden or over-acting (Unless the character was dramatic). I felt all of their emotions, even the characters I disliked.

Music: Oddly enough the music came from the 60s anti war sentiment and added so much to the feel of this. A choice I would never have thought of but brilliantly executed.

Rewatch: Because of the topic and heaviness I would not be able to re-watch this unless I was sharing it with someone. My lower re-watch score has nothing to do with quality.

Overall: I would highly recommend this if you can handle the topic..it was so masterfully put together I gave it a 10
