You won't be disappointed!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

There may have been a film even earlier, but I think Kurosawa's "Rashômon" (1950) was the first film to delve deep into the twisted convolutions of human perception. Take a sensational event and study how different witnesses will remember it, often in complete conflict with each other, due to selfishness, pride or willful ignorance. Gilligan's Island did this a few times, too.I think Yureru went one step beyond Rashômon (and maybe even beyond Gilligan), because in this film the witnesses are dynamic, fickle in their perceptions, and their own memories are prone to wild swings of "truth" to the point that they themselves aren't sure of what truth really is. Is that what the title "Sway" means? It sure seems to fit.I wouldn't recommend this film to everyone due to its heavy, ponderous nature, but certainly if you're a fan of Kurosawa's work... or a student of Kant ...or you stay up sleepless nights wondering if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it does it make a sound... then by all means watch this film.Soundtrack is groovy. Images are artistically & beautifully shot. Editing is very suspenseful to those who are paying attention. The final 10 seconds are brilliant--one of the most memorable and powerful conclusions I've seen in a long while.

I liked this movie (7) for the kind of relatively slow-paced, minimalistic style that a certain type of Japanese movie has, and the fact that it escaped from the formula so often seen in Hollywood movies.It definitely reminded me of the Kurosawa classic, "Rashomon" in that it presents various perspectives and possibilities, leaving the viewer to decide on their merits. Like Rashomon, there is a death involved, but the guilty party, or more to the point, who is most guilty, remains a mystery.Well structured story line, tasteful cinematography, and a pretty cool soundtrack. Recommended.

This film is beautiful and thought provoking, although it is also a very subtle movie. I must admit, that even though I have studied Asian culture while in college, I have not experienced it first-hand and certain aspects of it still elude me. That is probably the only problem a western viewer MIGHT have with this movie, is missing some of those beautiful and subtle suggestions. What I took away from this film, is that it is mainly concerned with the relationship between two brother: This is explored through showing us the different ways that they have chosen to live their lives, and demonstrating what sort of person they are by showing their behavior in common situations (at first). The key turning point of the plot involves one brother being involved in an incident that results in a woman's death, but it is not immediately apparent (to the the audience) if it was an accident or murder. It is possible that the other brother witnessed this event, but even that is not immediately clear. During the rest of the movie, the relationship of these two brothers is examined and explored as we watch them react and interact to the predicaments they find themselves in because of this woman's death. However, and this is the part that contains spoilers, I was never really sure about what happened to cause the woman to fall off the bridge, or if the younger brother lied at his older brother's trial. Through-out the movie we are shown what appear to be flash backs of this critical event, but they are continually presented as different scenarios. In the initial scene, we can see the younger brother watching the older brother and the woman crossing the bridge from a distance, but before anything happens on said bridge, our view is obscured by trees. We then see younger brother react to something, and then begin to run back to the bridge. Many different "flash backs" of this same moment occur through out the rest of the movie, but as I have said, they are all different. What really happened? I would welcome your thoughts, insights, and opinions.

True, extremely true; The director arrange the pace and sequence perfectly.You won't get the true story until the last minutes.Nice photography; nice music; GREAT actors~ Would recommend to watch.THe truth is, I am too obsessed with peace and too scare about reality so...really tough for me to say "I love it"The family relationship is complicate;the lover relationship is complicate;the background information is complicate;the brotherhood is complicate;Why I should submit at least 10 line of text???
