I've seen the film, and I don't understand how this is such a good film to you (and many critics). My film taste is VERY diverse and I especially enjoy indie movies, even if they are slow paced and muted. But this film is, in my opininion, absolutely nothing special. Let's forget the whole "did they get japan right" argument, and just deal with it as a film. As a plain old film, it just isn't anything special at all. Please, seriously, tell me why this is "the best film you've ever seen".

Nah, they're FOS anyways. Perhaps they should spend some time in Japan before they start discussing race issues.Red Floyd wrote:the Asian community in America is split on their feelings about the film

I thought it was great, I also really liked the relationship aspect between Bill Murray and the girl.

Gawd, let's hope not. The fact that it all worked so well once pretty much guarantees it won't work well again.

Yah, that is my take on it exactly. I doubt they will.. but the way hollywood works, it seems every film is up for a sequel.

That movie actually changed my idea that yellow=nice whitish= not nice. I will go to America- I think ( cannot believe I am saying this...... )

Those poor people in their Hotel suite wondering when their life did go wrong. That girl wondering if she want to be "a photographer or a writer" while i wonder if i'm gonna be a waiter or a low paid foreign langage teacher.
How can i identify with those people ?
I want my gaijins dead drunk, freezing to death in 17 square meters apartment cause they're not allowed to buy a proper heater, the place might go up in flame if they do.

am i right or what?
mr. sparkle wrote:but would you guys take me serious when i say that a much better film could be made about the gaijin experience in japan?
and that someone like a jaded english teacher or a gaijin (or group of misfit gaijin) that has been in tokyo for far too long (read: rob pongi) could make for a much more compelling story?
