“For the documentary genre, this film might be an interesting attempt. In this one, narrative is not a faceless, lifeless voice but a woman who shares details about her thoughts and feelings, along with the information about the main subject of the movie. Despite its originality in handling the narrative, the film doesnu0026#39;t offer too much.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBasically, itu0026#39;s a well-done documentary loosely attached to a storyline about a woman who longs for the person she loved. The former part is an outstanding documentary about Okinawa and World War II, and it deserves 5 alone. However, the latter is filled with some mysterious yet lame u0026quot;cyberspaceu0026quot; themes and mostly unrelated rantings of a woman, and it deserves a zero.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf the movie was able to connect these two parts in a more meaningful way, I would definitely consider it a masterpiece. However, I couldnu0026#39;t shake the feeling that I was watching two completely unrelated movies that cobbled together in the last minute.”
