Like father Like son review

 like father like son is such a great movie, it goes through social classes and it's such a good movie to analyze every time I watch it, I notice something different. The story is about Ryoto a hardworking father in the city, constantly working with little time spent with his son and wife. One day Ryoto and his wife get a call from the hospital where his son, Keita, was born and was informed that their son is not actually their son and was switched to another baby born on the same day. However, their "son" is already 5 so they have been raising a kid not actually their biological kid and their son is with the other family who is also in this meeting. So, they struggle if they should continue to raise the child they have been raising or switch the children to their rightful families. The other family is the complete opposite of Ryoto's family, they are in the countryside running a mom-and-pop store and they are not as well off as Ryoto. So, the families make an agreement to help them decide. I love this movie and would recommend it to anyone because it shows different sides of everyone, and your mind goes from one side to the other so many times.

I saw a lot of the social settings of Japan. I saw the family dynamics of different families, "poor" vs. "rich" in Japan or, countryside vs. city side. The movie's main concept is to show that, and the idea of "blood" or being fully related to someone and how important it is to a lot of Japanese families that they exclude someone because they aren't biologically related or well older generations are less accepting. And we see that in this movie, we also see the social opportunities based on class in Japan, the city kid goes to a international private school. While the country kid is taught at home or in a very small school.  

Rating-9.5/10
