This is a good view! Anybody who’s been “the new kid” in any school will identify and relate to this well-told story. Daniel is a charming young man and I appreciated the respect and obedience he always gave to his mother, a single parent. Miyagi begins to train him in karate with tasks requiring long hours of hard work, patience and endurance. Daniel grows: inside. When Miyagi begins to show him the various moves in karate, with his body, Daniel realizes the inner strength, concentration and confidence he’s gained by doing what he perceived to be menial tasks. The generous heart and spirit in Miyagi flow to Daniel with love. The only thing I didn’t appreciate was the scene where Miyagi gets drunk, and that’s how Daniel finds out that his wife and new born baby were killed during World War II. My objection is portraying getting drunk as the vehicle whereby a person can talk openly and bear their soul. Overall, this is good viewing and well worth watching.
