"Inside Moves" was marketed in Japan as "San Francisco Monogatari"
which means "San Francisco Story." ("To Kill a Mockingbird" is known
in Japan as "Alabama Monogatari".) "Inside Moves" is another little
movie that when I saw it in a cheap theater in Japan, I thought,
"Great. I am going to enjoy seeing this many times"; only to find
myself waiting for decades for it to resurface. It's a film which
examines the essence of humanity: heart, mind, and body. It's about
finding yourself through helping others; something that in the Thai
language is called, "Nam Jai" which means "water from the heart."
Sometimes we find it and sometimes we lose it. My favorite line is
John Savage's, "You don't have to come around anymore. We don't need
your kind of cripple" to indicate the sorry lot of those who have lost
the joy of giving and the value of camaraderie. But "Inside Moves"
gives it back again.
