Great... worth your time
I think this is a great film all around. Obviously not the movie to watch when you're in need of a "lift". Ethan Hawke's character really made the film for me. He is so infatuated and devoted to his first love, very intense love story to see unfold. I know there's a lot to be said on the horrible war crimes towards the Japanese Americans. Also, the film plays out the murder trial while weaving through the love story and oppression towards the Japanese. I really think this film deserves respect. It's shot well and the music is fitting. As stated, the love between the two main characters is something rare and not easily forgotten. I have yet to find a film that captured young love so well. What's especially impresssive about it is the journey through their initial playfulness which continues to lust, true love and ultimately the harsh reality that even pure, honest love can not endure all.

Stick to the book
This story, told in flashbacks, is about Ishmael and Hatsue who were in love as young children, but were not allowed to be together because of their different ethnic backgrounds. Based in the 1950's, it shows the murder of a Japanese fisherman and the racial prejudice that occured at that time. While the book offers a great story, the movie moves slowly and did not keep my interest. Stick to the book!
