00:03The Color of the Sun, your film, is a coming of age, but not a simply one. I think there
00:12is more
00:13behind this title about these themes. It's definitely about two kids that are trying to
00:20figure out where they belong, and I think that's just a recurring theme in most coming of age,
00:28but this one is both a personal and political one in a way, in this place where Okinawa plays a
00:40big
00:40character within the relationship of the two main characters. You said that it's also a political
00:48film, but in which way? I think everything is political at the end of the day, but it's just
00:56the subtext, you know, the whole background is very timely. Just the idea of having an American
01:06occupation in Okinawa since the Second World War, and also Okinawa has been colonized by Japan
01:18about 150 years ago. So all of this makes it also a story about occupation and colonization
01:28that is the backdrop and the tension of the film between those two kids.
