A tang of Nights of Cabiria...but with a happy ending..thats how "The Sea is watching" can be simply described....
A touching story with gripping dialogues and remarkable performances, this movie is a treat to watch. A simple story....A young geisha searches for love.....she sells her body out of misfortune but is pure at heart....Infact all the geishas portrayed here show more humane tendencies than other "high-caste" people......She falls in love with a ostracized samurai....but he ditches her as soon as he is taken back into the society....atlast it is another so called "low" man-who has had the life of dogs who proves to be a better human being than others....
I have just one complain about this movie..this movie is done in a way that resembles a drama on stage....the sets are very evident......even the sky that is shown can easily be discerned to be artificial...whether the director intended it that way I dont know...but I have a sneaky feeling, Kurosawa could have done much much better with this story of his....
Overall 7/10
Story 8/10
