Snow falling on cedars (trailer 1)

Fog as thick and palpable as cotton hangs suspended over San Piedro Island. On the bay, a flickering lantern signals distress from a crippled fishing boat, while elsewhere a freighter lurches blindly through the chalky mist. By morning, sea and sky are clear, but the tranquil village of fisherman and berry farmers will forever be changed. For one man has lost his life, and another -a childhood friend- has been charged with taking it. An investigation is launched. The trial begins. A reporter covering the trial, Ishmael Chambers, sits in the courtroom, carefully observing the person with whom he shared the rapturous secrets of childhood, the only woman he has ever loved. Hatsue, the defendant's wife. Their tortured relationship will have an unexpected bearing on the trial of Kazuo Miyamoto, which serves to frame Snow Falling On Cedars. Universal Pictures presents a Harry J. Ufland/Ron Bass Production, a Kennedy/Marshall Production of Snow Falling On Cedars, an elegiac, multi-layered exploration of memory, love and reconciliation. Set in 1950 on an island in the Pacific Northwest, the film is Australian director Scott Hicks' follow-up to the much-acclaimed Shine, a 1997 Academy Award nominee in seven categories, including Best Film and Best Director. The film is produced by Harry J. Ufland (One True Thing), Ron Bass (My Best Friend's Wedding) and Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall (E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial), and adapted from David Guterson's acclaimed best-selling novel by Ron Bass and Scott Hicks.

Truly one of the most beautiful cinematography/score combinations to have ever been made. The book and the film are both good. I prefer to watch films first and then to read the books they are based off of - afterwards. That way, one never feels let down by the film and can truly appreciate both art forms for what they're worth. Love the trailer, too! Awesome!

I know you think this is crazy, but all I want to do is hold you. And I think that if you let me do that for just a few seconds, I can walk away and never speak to you again!

I'm from Seattle. The Northwest is truly a magical place, and this is definitely one of the best books-movies based on here. Love the last sentence of the book: Accident rules every corner of the universe except the chambers of the human heart.

You can do whatever to save the person you loved in your young day, first love, under most difficult situations.

True love fear nothing. Beautiful scenes , impressive conversations , such a nice music. I was really surprised

to know that the author of this story spent 10 years to finish this story.
