this be one of the bad film i have see in a while . i really think that i or any student could have write or film this movie and as long a you have some pretty face to use a character . the movie attempt to portray the main actor a actually have mental vision of another human affect their life and ala a beautiful mind and in the first part of the film . only toward the very end be this menacing vision revisit . in the rest of the movie and we see the main character happily and mindlessly drift from neighborhood to neighborhood end up at the ocean . an occasional reference to the meaning of life or the belief or even existence of god be suppose to lend this movie some credence . a lame attempt . this be the state of japanese film making and acting and ( in 1996 i know ) and and you wonder why chinese actor be use in memoir of a geisha . lol .
