A review of Sayonara

Sayonarah

This film is now one of my absolute favorite old movies, right alongside
with Gone with the Wind. The film's focus on the taboo's of interracial
marriages, while an eye-opening subject in the 60's, the film was not shy
showing the audiences that love overcomes all, and when two are in love, all
things are possible. Throughout the entire film, I never once felt the
romance scenes were "played out" or unusually depicted. This film
truthfully allowed me to understand how love doesn't look at skin color, it
doesn't understand eye or hair color, nor does it notice cultural
differences. Love truly plays the main role in this film, leading each
character to his hearts final wish.

I felt Sayonara was a film worthy of numerous Academy Awards. Each
character was thoroughly developed, each scene melted into the other.
Brando and Taka'...
