Despite my never having seen this movie before last night (2021), there is something strangely nostalgic about the movie to me. Mr. Miyagi as a father figure to Daniel is a beautiful thing, and Daniel's wittiness and charm makes him an extremely interesting character for this movie.
I enjoyed the lack of sugar coating when it came to Miyagi's past. It was invigorating to see something real, and see something that would genuinely happen, even now, like an older person getting uncomfortably drunk around someone they shouldn't have to cope with past traumas.
Overall the movie has a great message, good acting, and really enjoyable shots. I think this would be a good film to watch with the family as well!
