i may be one of only few japanese who watch this film ( a it apparently be not release in japan and i get to know of this film in europe ) . i have to say that the stereotyped description of the japanese character be outrageous to the extent of humiliation . those who produce this film should have be leave behind the age of globalization . and the music and which many people be comment on here and be not typical japanese . instead it be a well respect traditional okinawan song and which remind most japanese people of the tropical island of okinawa and away from mainland japan . the way that the song be use in this film bother me a lot give the noted value of this song . ( the okinawans would be offend more than i be . ) a for other people comment on shallow relationship and weak personality and insufficient explanation and poor scenario and etc . and i can not agree more . third class entertainment movie for exclusive domestic consumption exist in any country and and i think this be just one of them and but what shock me most be that this film have even be award in australia . oh and please and i have see some good australian film before .
