Giovanni Island is a wonderful, tragic story about the difficult fate of Japanese refugees from the island of Shakotan who are in Soviet occupation after World War 2. I will not record a historical lecture, since it is so interesting, then you can turn to various sources and archives yourself. The film really touched me, I almost shed tears, it's just impossible to remain calm at the sight of what ordinary residents are going through, who are essentially refugees of the war, they did not deserve such a fate in any way! I don't want to tie someone by nationality, to stereotypes and specialspecial treatment, peace, friendship, chewing gum - that's my slogan!
Although it is historical in genre, but in order to evaluate it from this point of view, you need to familiarize yourself, but the most important thing is that this film fulfills its purpose: it teaches us that we are all human beings, have our own dreams, want to create, empathize, generally enjoy life; war is very bad, I think it obviously destroys lives, makes people unhappy and angry, but all conflicts must be overcome, children are hope, really the flowers of this world - only they can save this world, because Russian, Japanese, American, Korean - everyone is capable of both good and evil, everything it depends on the individual qualities of the person himself.
