Movie Review: There is more here, than meets the eye
Summary: 3 Stars

I first saw this movie in 1958 just before going to Japan with the US Army. It made quite an impact on me and my expectations of the Japanese. The movie does successfully capture some of the Japanese spirit as I know it. John Wayne, though he has been panned in this role, I think, embodies what may have been an accurate portrayal of the typical well meaning American in a culture he could never understand. Years later, when I happened to be in Shimoda, where the film is set, I found a small Japanese Museum, that commorated the self-sacrifice of the Japanese woman, the lovely Okichi, to her community. It depicts the 'facts' of the movie in a totally differnt light.
This movie really deserves to be put on DVD !!

Movie Review: Japanese culture taught by The Duke
Summary: 4 Stars

I teach secondary Culture and Japanese Language to about 160 students. This is one of the best researched and fun to watch stories about 19th century Japan. The Duke is Smooth in his role and the differences of Late Japanese Culture and Early American Culture are well described. My students were engrossed the whole movie, with well thought questions during the film and at the end. Definitely worth your time.

Movie Review: hilarious
Summary: 1 Stars

This film is unbelievable. A one star recommendation is possible only because zero stars is not available. (maybe it should be five though). The sight of John Wayne stumbling around the Japanese sets makes it one of the funniest Wayne films ever (file under comedy). And he's made quite a few. He's still all over the place, mumbling and slouching like ever. How could they make this? One of the worst movies ever and therefore a must buy.

Movie Review: Good Historical Film from Wayne and Huston
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a good film. It is very subtle and not a typical John Wayne film. Director John Huston's pace is slow but well thought out. It is a well researched film and is a very good historical piece demonstrating the clash of Eastern and Western cultures.
