Daniel B Una película que busca más concientizar un tema que exponerlo en la misma narrativa, The Seensei de 2007 tiene buenos momentos, actuaciones convincentes, pero es muy plana y aburrida de ver. Los personajes no tienen profundidad y solo se definen por su roll general. Los malos son malos porque si y los buenos son diferentes por su forma de pensar. Gran planteamiento pero sosa resolución. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/24 Full Review Audience Member powerful storytelling and excellent acting Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member It is the music that actually makes this movie work bringing the true essence of the story forward. The actors put in a piece of work that is very watchable and emotional. The script lacks a touch of strength at times however; the actors carry it over these moments. Fight scenes are very realistic without all that dance and jumping stuff. Heartbreaking twists and turns. This story is multi-faceted allowing raw emotions to the fore. The film is a great achievement for the style and period showing a great team of actors and the other staff involved. Diana has shown her complexity in her directing style and one hopes that it will continue, an investor in movies would be well placed to give this director a large budget movie, with all the assistance she requests. Nibbles: Dorayaki. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member really nice and deep movie! very touching! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Not nearly as good as lifted, but worth seeing. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A surprisingly good movie. Made by Dan Inosanto's daughter which is awesome. Filipino Cast. If you don't cry you don't have a heart. Five stars despite what Daniel says...especially cause of what Daniel says.
