Snow Falling on Cedars: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

First a novel by David Gutterson, then a film directed by Scott Hicks. It tells the story of the trial of Kabuo Miyamoto, a Japanese-American, accused of murdering a white man, Carl Heine. The backstory dives into the entire community on a small, close-knit island. As the trial goes on, flasbacks establish the past relationship between the disillusioned journalist covering the case, and Kabuo's wife, the beautiful Hatsue, from childhood.
