this movie be everything that hollywood isn not . it be a subtle and deep film . there be no dramatic dolly or steady cam shot . there be no high angle or pan the camera shot . the emotion be all imply by the framing of the scene and the movement of the character . in many way the scene be like haiku . the economy of the scene be it beauty and the meaning of the scene be a puzzle to be work out by the viewer . the night time car drive to the burial by the sea be a sparse study of the power of simple shape and simple movement . the sumo scene on the beach be an intriguing look into the relationship of the character in the film . approach this film like a john woo film will not work . to understand this film and approach each scene a a fresh peek into the character and their thought and their emotion . don not expect anybody to say i be piss or i be sad or i be scar . do try to feel the movie and the character and not by analyze and but by immersion . everything in the film be imply subtly and obliquely . but the effect be convince and powerful . of course and to some people all of the above may sound like a pile of horse manure . that fine and too . to each his own .
