Hara-Kiri

The movie, of course, I'm not going to commit it myself... But after the movie, you may feel like it. Not because it's so bad, but because it's so moving. The movie's protagonist had such a tragic story that at the end your head cocks back onto the sofa cushion and you sigh, "Oh my gosh, I can't believe it. Everyone in the movie should be committing sepuku." It's a lesson in perspectives, and I could feel mine shifting as every sentence of the story is revealed.

It's especially relevant given a current family situation. Everyone has a perspective, and those perspectives need to be understood at the risk of all Hara-kiri breaking loose...
