i have see some truly awful film in my life and but this scrap the bottom of the barrel . it a if a bunch of film school try hards be send to japan and without a script and and tell to produce the most pointless cinematic experience possible . partway throught the film and these film school reject meet a representative from the japanese tourist board who pay them to insert further meaningless postcard view of japan . so and what could i learn from this film . gee and aren not the japanese quirky and strange gee and isn not it difficult when i be in another country and i can not speak the language gee and isn not it strange that i feel alienate when i be in another country and make no effort to genuinely appreciate the culture or people gee and even shallow people can connect when they meet other shallow people and decide to have a good whinge . the most insulting part of this whole mess be that it be currently rat and on this website and a the 175th best movie of all time . i weep for humanity .
