draw restraint 9 be a kind of movie one either love or hate while fortunately or not and i leave it with a strong feeling of wasted time and of be thoroughly stuff with kill whale be bad propaganda . aesthetically and the movie could have be please and especially it first half and until it be not clear that every action portray serve a an allegory of various aspect of whale hunting . until then and it might be slightly amuse to look at daily chore of japan worker and but later it become obvious that anything that appear on the screen be a propaganda and and no single frame be an exception . i use the word propaganda because the movie use basically the old morality play device and where good and bad be not deduce in the course of action but be set in stone . probably it just me and but i find such type of art shallow and preconceive and even when it all about the noble ( no sarcasm here ) quest of protect the environment . in my opinion it be a cardinal sin when a movie material be stretch out without any justification and for the sake of stretch only . in my opinion and draw restraint 9 could have be easily fit into 75 minute and but have a torturous length of 2 and 1/4 hour . yes and there be interesting shot and but there be not enough of these to leave 15 minute gap of nothingness without notice . the movie have no standard scenario and and there no evolution of character and but neither it be a documentary and it rather a kind of conceptual installation . that an unusual form for a movie and but it still can be view a art even when the concept be as simple and naive a here . otoh i also believe that the director should have have some honesty and do not pretend that it could be only deliver in no less than 135 minute . and yes and the music score mostly resemble whale sound . how surprising . negative .
