i have see this movie many many time and i will never get tire of it . it be a classic in every sense of the word . the movie be hysterically funny and yet quite touch all at the same time . for those of you who be not a fan of subtitle or of foreign film in general and open your mind . this be a great movie for the beginner because the story be so entertaining . don not get me wrong and it be 100 % japanese ( and that be what make it work ) and but everyone will get something out of it ( even if it be just a great laugh at one of the main character call mr. aoki one of the funny character i have ever see . ) i can not even think of this movie without smile . i love it . and i think most people will too .
