Amazing story that should not be misunderstood

I watched the movie, and found it to be an amazing story. Then I came home and read some bad reviews.
Sadly, the reviews assured my suspicions that there would be several Americans who can not understand the film.
There is a sense of honor and dicipline, that brought tears to my eyes, and brought cringes of disgust to ignorant viewers.
I was quite pleased that there were no Hollywood gimmicks in the story. There is a world and culture outside of the US. I've seen to many Chinese actors with cameras in hand posing as Japanese to get a rise from Hollywood spoofs that instill such ignorance.
This kind of movie should have come long ago.
I've spent 10 years living in Japan, studying the language, history, and culture. This movie is a wonderful compliment to Japanese history and culture, as well as to Hollywood. They did not sell out.
I cried, my heart pounded, and I felt that lump in my throat. It was the most beautiful films I've seen.
If it hurts or angers you to understand and accept foreign culture and history, then you might as well spend the rest of your movie days watching RoboCop. |
