Featured review
Perfection
I've loved this show for a while now, and this episode in particular, it's absolute perfection. Any time I revisit it I can't help but cry with happiness and admiration. It diverges for a brief moment from the series narrative in the best way possible. I'm a white man, and don't have a tangible connection to Japanese culture or being a first generation immigrant - but when I watch this episode, I'm put directly into the shoes of someone who is, and it's absolutely beautiful and touching. Yuki may not be your mother, or share her story, but she is EVERY mother. She's made decisions in her life to give her children the best lives possible and I can't help but immediately think of my own mother and the sacrifices she's made. All of this, juxtaposed with the footage of the actress' own past is a true gem. I thank the Erskine family for blessing us with this perfect glimpse into another life that is so different yet so familiar. Thank you, thank you, thank you. <3.
