‘Jungle Cruise’ Is Fun but Has Questionable Representation
'Jungle Cruise' is fun if you can ignore the racism of the ride it’s based on and the film’s bland, stereotypical characters.
Megoma
Hana no Edo is a cold city for the poor, so in the spring she returned to her hometown with her husband, Moichi. However, Haru and others, who were in trouble with money, stole at a fabric store and became wanted people, so they were kicked out of the house by his older sister Mugi. In that village, there was a temple with a good chief priest, and there was a lucky Mawari Kannon. Having nowhere to go, Mr. and Mrs. Haru are asked to live at the temple. The unscrupulous Haru and others begin their married life. When Moichi pulls the obi belt of his spring kimono, his heavy chest feels relaxed. Gosaku, the cleaning assistant of the temple, was watching the scene. Gosaku thinks that Haru is a courtesan who escaped from Edo, and spreads it to the men in the village. Then, in the spring, she pretends to be a courtesan, and begins to show off her obi untied performance at the side of the temple.
