"Golden Kamuy: In search of the redeeming gold"

"Golden Kamuy: In search of the redeeming gold"

Went in to watch it with no expectations but ended up pleaaantly satisfied with the great cinematic shots , the crash course in Ainu culture , the introduction of interesting characters.  The main lead Immortal Sugimoto poses a lot of questions even at the very end of this movie. 

After reading in history books of how Ainu were treated this movie gave me several insights and comparisons as to how some may still have city vs provincial views of certain people in our own society. 

Also…

Asirpa has really great teeth for someone who grew up hunting in the mountains. Ainu tribes probably have great dental plans.

Makes me want to check the manga I have saved in my hard drive but never got to reading all those years ago. I guess now is the time. 

All in all a good action packed  introduction that will get you interested.
