This is a film about an elderly man's choice between love or honour. The film is long, and unnecessarily long. There was not so much in the story, and it dragged on to 2 1/2 hours. The reason why the mother became repentious of her actions was not given, therefore she became 'good' all of a sudden. How strange. The bit about suicide was hilarious, I am glad that this scene was included so that the film gets less boring. Otherwise, the film was a bore.
