Double Think

About This Movie

So, 'Double Think' is an interesting piece from 1980 that dives into the uncomfortable realities of Japanese internment during World War II. The film has this gritty tone, really captures the anxiety and paranoia of the era. It’s not flashy, but the practical effects used for the internment camps are haunting and effective. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it serves to build tension. Performances are strong, though not overly dramatized, giving it a realistic feel. What really sets it apart is how it tackles memory and identity, forcing you to think about the historical consequences. It’s a bit of a hidden gem that resonates on different levels.
