Twenty-Four Eyes is a sentimental movie following a woman who teachers in a far-flung island of Japan and her first group of students as they grow up through WWII. The movie has many scenes with children's folk songs, and those really elevate the film and made it one of my favorites. There are so many songs it's almost like a musical. The look into rural Japanese life is interesting as well. I am not sure what the status of this film is in Japan, but it has all the makings of being something like a Japanese It's a Wonderful Life or The Sound of Music ... just a classic remembered fondly by all. A must for all fans of Japanese cinema.
