Halving the Bones

Hi! I'm Akihiko. I finished IT-Program a little while ago. I'm so happy now!!!!

Anyway, we watched a movie whose title is "Halving the Bones". It was very impressive movie. It tells the story of Ruth Ozeki's journey as she brings her grandmother's remains home from Japan. Her mother was born in Japan, but live in the U.S. At first, I was surprised many pictures were remained. They gave us reality. Firstly, I couldn't understand why Ruth Ozeki's mother could not know until her daughter brought grandmother's bones. However, I could understood. It was involved many thing. Japan and the U.S was opponent, so grandfather was imprisoned and family was divided. I want to know how feeling of mother's when Ruth Ozeki brought bones and grandmother 's memories. Even though grandmother died in Japan, I thought bones made each other connect. I want Ruth's mother to go to Japan to visit her mother's grave. I also thought history is irony and there are many kinds of type of family and connection.
