Mother Country

1962
Drama
In 1919, a group of Japanese immigrants arrives in Hawaii. Among them Yoshio Inoue and his wife Kishimo and Sumi, a young woman ready to get married soon. With soil that is hard to work & a warm/hot climate, the immigrants have a hard life in near slave-on-a-plantation conditions. However their toil allows them to progress in the then American way to become middle class citizens. Now their kids are young adults... are they all American or Japanese? The "day of infamy" dawns. (ACM and me)

Note low score much influenced by the ultra lo-budget location work in Hawaii which was too jarring - film with heart firmly in right place. Fairly well acted (tho over emoted in parts) does portray dilemma of generational conflict & a "who am I?" vibe between Japanese born parents and their American born kids on the eve of WW2. Set-work in non-rural Hawaii appalling with no effort at period authenticity for 1930's & 40's shots in obviously 60's setting. Japan sets way better, well don
