VHS Movie Reviews of A Majority of One [VHS]

Movie Review: A Majority of One
Summary: 4 Stars

A Majority of One is a warm, enjoyable film that evokes the slow changes of attitude toward the Japanese people after World War II. In the same family some were slower to drop their prejudices than others. Ordinary people were ahead of the officialdom in changing their attitudes. I grew up with people just like the characters in this movie and remember them well.

Movie Review: Consumed To Have This Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

I just happened to turn on the television one night looking for some great entertainment and I lucked upon this great movie showing on TCM for this first time. A Majority of One was so heart warming and reminiscent of the great movies of old that left you wanting more. After viewing the movie I immediately started searching for the movie online to purchase because I wanted my family and friends to see such a wonderful movie. To my dissatifaction Movies Unlimited did not have this movie. I have searched monthly hoping that TCM would show it again and to the present day, it has not been shown again. Only today did I order a used copy from Amazon. If you love an old fashioned love story between two unlikely characters in a far away land with great obstacles to overcome, you will love this movie. It transported me to a time when I was a child dreaming that I would find someone to love me and express it like Mr. Asano did in the movie. This is a feel good movie and will be a pleasure for the hopelessly romantics at heart.

Movie Review: A Must See
Summary: 5 Stars

If ever there is a movie you should see add this one to your list. I own it. Too bad it isn't put on DVD. I would hate to lose it because of the tape disintegrating.

Movie Review: Any man more right than his neighbor...
Summary: 5 Stars

One of my favorite "message" movies. Roslind Russell and Alec Guiness are delightful as widow and widower who set aside the past to discover each other. Wonder if they will do a remake set in Iraq?

Movie Review: After 43 years, I finally got to see the end
Summary: 5 Stars

Back when I was 16 or 17 years old, I came home late one night after a date, and turned on the TV. A Majority of One was on, and I was soon wrapped up in the story. Believe it or not, as a teenager, I was totally enthralled by this story of a romance between two aging people of different cultures.

But, I came from a very strict family, and my parent's bedroom was in earshot of the TV. I knew if I woke them, I'd be in big trouble. So eventually, I got too nervous to enjoy the movie, and went to bed. But, I never forgot the movie, and always wanted to see the end.

Then one day recently, I suddenly thought about it, and realized I could probably buy it online. I couldn't remember the name of the movie offhand, but I did a search on Alec Guiness, and recognized the title when I saw it.

So, I finally got to see the end. I won't tell you the end, but I will say it was worth the wait. This is a sentimental movie, true, but it also has a number of ideas that work through it. (You remember ideas...) One of the themes, stated in other reviews, has to do with racism. Then there is main theme that, if you are right, and the rest of the world is wrong, then you form a majority of one. Great idea! And there's the idea that mature people should be respected because they have more experience in human relations than young people.

Funny thing is, my mother watched it with me, and loved it even more than I did. It was fun to watch it together as two adults, after my past history with the movie.

Okay, accepting Alec Guiness as a Japanese gentleman is a bit of a strech. But just the scene with Rosalind Russel standing pigeon-toed in a kimono is worth the price of the movie.
