I'm 76 years old and I saw this movie when it first came out on screen --- It was 1953, and we were in Yokohama Japan. My dad was in the Navy. He had a buddy who had married a Japanese woman. I remember how my family would often visit Ken and his lovely wife, Kemoko. They had a small little house much like the one shown in this movie. It was also right next to a canal......again like in the movie. I also remember that Kemoka had made these lovely kimonos for myself, my younger brother and sister. I enjoyed those times.
@gypsyknight9564 The movie came out later. It has been stated as 1957 as the release year. No way you could have seen it earlier than that, but it must have been something seeing it on the big screen. I was stationed in Misawa, Japan for two years. It was quite an experience.
You're right . I sorta messed up my comment. My reference to 1953, was not about when the movie came out but when my family and I were in Yokohama. Sorry for the confusion. @@lisakwaterski6707
This is one of my all time favorite movies. I have watched this movie more times than I can count. I love it more each time I watch it. Rest in peace Miko Taka, All of the actors in this movie played wonderful roles. Sayonara is a classic. May it remain that way forever.
What a wonderful story! Obviously it's Hollywood-like, a bit fairy and a bit cliche but overall it's amazing, glamorous, touching and historically accurate. The hairstyles, wardrobe (wonderful kimonos), habits of Japanese people, even the way a Japanese women speak or move - it's all true, nothing is fake or misplaced. I think that director and the whole team that made "Memoirs of a geisha" should learn form this movie.
Superb movie! Most powerful movie with a great cast & great story. I was on the edge of my seat wondering how this movie would end. I saw it on TCM & loved it so much I bought the DVD. ❤️❤️❤️
I just love your positive sentiments. Like many of us, we kind of don't want sad endings. I'm glad we can each find meaning and interpretation in the experiences we get with literature and all the many venues of artistic expression. I know I did, as a very young person, try to reinvent the ending of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. It is great there are a few scenes remaining on You tube of this movie, I believe the entire movie was here at one time, then removed. Maybe it will come back....here's hoping. For me, all the major performers in this movie were outstanding.
I think when we realize how much people from anywhere have in common - cross cultural marriage nowadays is much more acceptable. In wartime/postwar years it is difficult, as in the case of Kelly and Katsumi, and Gruver and Hana. But they took a stand; their happiness meant more than the 'rules'. P.S. My husband was born in Mexico; I am a 'Caucasian'. Nobody objected to our marriage, now 15 years in..

Thank you so much so much for this download ! I love this movie - the book is great but (spoiler) ends differently. This film is so beautiful and sweet , how obligation and duty are so important but it’s about how we love each other .
This was the beginning for me. I was about ten years old in Ohio. From the on I wanted my Asian wife. (I’m Caucasian American.) We just celebrated our 46 wedding anniversary! Miiko Taka, I do hope you have turned to God. A prayer life everyday. God bless you!
rikilja Sandhills: After many years of watching a few notable scenes, I finally viewed the movie in its entirety and the Oscar wins for Red Buttons and Myoshi Umeki on TH-cam. I'm very impressed. Also, thank you for your service and for posting your personal perspective on the film.
I watched this last night for the first time in many years. I am going to rewatch it. It’s that good. Also, does anyone have any suggestions on movies like this? Location movies about other cultures? Thank you ❤
Yes she has a long life than ever her sad role in this movie or original novel by Mitchell . It was another version after Puccini ‘s Madame Butterfly, the American Marine Captain , but in this Novel he was American Air Force Captain . So Japanese women has earned a good name in American Men Society for decades . Thanks to those novelists in the States for shaping the image of Oriental peoples via those Romantic stories and movies .
This movie had some pacing issues. But overall, it had some wonderful moments throughout. The lighting was pretty flat. But perhaps, it's not about the surface, but the message its communicating.
What do you expect? This movie was made in the 1950’s. Actually the filming looks much more realistic then present day! Also Red Buttons and Miyoshi Umeki both won Best Supporting actor/actress Oscars.
Wow White men insult Japanese men right inside Japan country by playing with their female vaginas...White men even dating Japanese girls in Japan until today...like trade war between US and China to fight Sex Supremacy in Asia
Enzzo, Nenhum filme antigo e nenhuma música dos anos 80 é a mesma desde que você foi embora da minha vida. Sinto sua falta e lembro de você sempre. Se você estiver lendo isso, eu te amo. Anelise.
Depending on perspective...one could more certainly see the son of a general with a promising military career leaving Japan without a Japanese bride. Major Gruver then can get his silver oak leaves to replace his gold ones (with higher ranks sure to come). However, this does not provide for a better dramatic effect at the end than what we saw in the movie version. For this movie that ending was perfect...but probably not for the real world in the 1950's Michener was righting about. Back then an officer with a promising future - any officer, not just the son of a general - (rather than a lower ranking enlisted) taking a Japanese wife would have been a kiss of death to future promotion to the next rank (much less an eagle or star). Being a military officer myself, married to a Korean lady for 40 years this month (who gave me two beautiful and highly intelligent children - who, in-turn, have given us 4 beautiful grandchildren), I most certainly can applaud the movie ending from my perspective. And yes, even in the 1980's there was still some prejudice in the officer ranks and especially their wives. I shed a tear about having children that are "half yellow, half white" and I still cheer when Brando utters his last line...
If interested, please watch "Dinner With Marlon", a film about Marlon Brando and Truman Capote's real life meeting in Kyoto, Japan during the making of "Sayonara". Link: th-cam.com/video/hDA6q_l6bGo/w-d-xo.html
First brando is not from the white protestant anglosaxon american race he is italian and italians like asians irish black latino are underestimated and looked on down by white protestant anglosaxon americans
@@hamidharouba9203 according to wikipedia: "His ancestry was mostly German, Dutch, English, and Irish.[10][11][12] His patrilineal immigrant ancestor, Johann Wilhelm Brandau, arrived in New York City in the early 1700s from the Palatinate in Germany.[13"
Rest in peace, Miiko Taka. You were wonderful in Sayonara.
I was very sorry to hear of her passing. Such a lovely lady and fine actress. ❤

Marlon Brando ahead of his Time.
Marlon is such an amazing actor in this movie, especially this scene
He completely flubbed his line @00:40
I have seen this movie many times and once in a while I watch the ending. Movies of this quality are seldom filmed nowadays.
My wife was Japanese...she passed....I miss her terribly
Sending you my deepest condolences. ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I caught this movie at the halfway mark many years ago. But the ending still melts something inside me.
Marlon Brando really so good on uniform
Marlon was such a natural, I loved how the director kept in 0:43, makes this scene more authentic
Love the movie Sayonara!!
Very Beatiful Movie 😀😀😀 is one of my best favorote Romance ❤❤
Me too.
Love this MOVIE!!! 2020❤️❤️❤️
Play the whole movie . This is a must see movie for everyone .
The young Brando worked hard on his roles and it shows
True before ha became cynical mocking acting in later years sad
Man, when movies meant something!
Miiko Taka was not actress, she became actress after this movie, she is wonderful
Makes my broken heart ache for someone who’ll love me whatever comes
I'll love you no matter what the world says... you and I will walk together holding hands towards the sunset.
@@Javier636 yes that’s the love they have I want it :)

Thank Josh Logan for that as he did use race in South Pacific!
Yep. He was inspired to make the film after visiting Japan and wanted it to also be a celebration of Japanese performing arts
Superb movie! Most powerful movie with a great cast & great story. I was on the edge of my seat wondering how this movie would end. I saw it on TCM & loved it so much I bought the DVD. ❤️❤️❤️
DetTigerFan One of the best movies ever made! Brando at his best!
In the book, they sadly part.
Marlon was sooo handsome 🥰

How does the book end and is it based on a true story?
Yeah tell them we said SAYONARA!!! 💞💞💞💞!!! That voice sooo sexy!!
RIP Miiko Taka

El gran Clasico del verdadero Amor sin fronteras;sin racismos y clacismos estupidos. Esta es la descripcion mas exacta del Amor,desde Chile.

This is classic
I remember this movie. He was such a good actor. Another one is teahouse of the August moon.
Maravillosa pelicula.Que desaparezca el racismo.Desde Perú
Favoloso come uomo deciso era la forza di lei
I watched this last night for the first time in many years. I am going to rewatch it. It’s that good. Also, does anyone have any suggestions on movies like this? Location movies about other cultures? Thank you ❤
I adore this movie! So beautiful and moving. I’d love to read the book but just can’t bring myself to since I know it doesn’t end this way.
Me encanta esta película. Me gusta mucho Marlon brandon
എന്തു സുന്ദരനാണ് എന്റെ മർലൺ ബ്രാൻഡോ... ♥️♥️
Que hombre tan interesante tan guapo me encanta
Один из Любимых моих фильмов 🦋
How can anybody down vote this?

Way better story than that jerk Pinkerton’s treatment of Cio cio San!
I love him!!!!!
SAYOLALA IS THE BEST MOVIE
Lucky guy. Got himself a Japanese girl. An un-westernized Japanese girl.
Japanese wives would find it difficult to live in any other country because she has standards that would shame Girls in other nations.
This movie had some pacing issues. But overall, it had some wonderful moments throughout. The lighting was pretty flat. But perhaps, it's not about the surface, but the message its communicating.
There's only so much you can cover in a movie compared to a book.

That's me...half Yellow and half white! Except my mom's name is not Hanaoke!

Se você estiver lendo isso, eu te amo.
Anelise.
I found the original book this movie was based on years ago. The ending in the book is the exact opposite--they don't end up together.
Not surprised
i want to know the book‘s name please
Jennie .S. Sayonara by James Michener
Coming from Yurakucho station, the car enters Harumi Street and runs toward the elevated railway, where Shinkansen, or bullet trains, run today.
5:26 -- Aww they'll get over it...
I watched Saying when I was 5 years old
its a global harmory movie
The happy ending sure doesn't fit in with the darkness of the overall story. Especially the double suicide.
Film meraviglioso❤
Marlon brando veree good perfect 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Touching
Please if anyone could help me watch the full movie it would make me so happy. Please help
Its free now on youtube
Read the book. This is not how it ends. The book ending is so much better.

@@antoniomoreno3142 are you sure? I don t think so

There were many Italian American actors in Hollywood in the 1950s, but Marlon Brando wasn't one of them.
Hooah Sir: BLUF!
Do you have the entire movie, instead of just the ending? I'm having a horrible time trying to find it on TH-cam, even for purchase.
You can get the dvd on Amazon.
