Snow Falling on Cedar Trees

saw the movie last night. i knew that there was some connection with Japan, but didn't know which. but had to see it. and it was really good. i really liked the way it was filmed. and the story line. (the book is probably better, though - i'll look into reading it).

but what i liked most, was that i reminded me of my friend D. also an American who fell in love with a Japanese girl. D kind of looks like Ethan Hawke (who plays the lead part in the movie), which made me imagine throughout the movie that it was actually him. and it could have been. i can just imagine him doing the same thing. luckily for him, though, the story ended well, as he got to marry the girl in question. well done! :)
