Nijushi no hitomi - Twenty-Four Eyes Trailer (1954)

[TigerTrak]

A classic! Probably the saddest movie of all time IMO. What a great movie!

I saw this just once, almost 40 years ago. Never forgot it. "Miss Pebble". A wonderful movie.

[LhizYchan16]

I like to watch this and also read its book!!!!

[PAXpeaceHEIWA]

I first read this book, "Nijuuyon no Hitomi"as a student for writing a paper about preWWII Japan. When I saw the movie years later, I cried through it...all the old folk songs were so perfect--it really made the movie poignant. You must read the book, if possible. There is so much more in it. A very heart-wrenching story...Thank you for this post! (^_^)

I remember this movie, it's about 50 years ago, I still remember that when her students coming back from the war in ash box and she went to the port to see them....very touching movie.

thank you for posting this! I rarely cry during movies but this movie really touched me. people can also compare this film to the ww2 film THERE ONCE WAS A FATHER which has similar themes however the male teacher (father) wanted his son (symbolizing the entire Japan) to keep trying to do their best which demonstrates how teachers were used as propaganda during the war.

[minamichan03]

[secretarytocapt3]

[minamichan03]

ahmm. . do i have to pay extra money for me to view those movies posted in amazon??

[tansamui]

[damidob]

I got this for about 18 USD off the British Amazon.

Believe me, it is a very beauiful and poignant film it's pretty long at more than 2 1/2 hours but very entertaining if rather sad.

It's worth a thousand James Bonds any day.
