Sucks that this board is dead...


This movie is probably my favorite movie of all time, it inspired me to go to Japan, and I'm going in September 09, for nine months !

Not much to discuss - very Zen like.

One of my favorites too. I probably watch the DVD once a year.

I actually only heard it mentioned in a forum thread about buddhist zen documentaries somewhere so I assumed it was one as well and thought it was ridiculous at first. When I realized what it was it had me cracking up, and I ended up loving it by the end. Very entertaining, different kind of movie.

So didya, and how was it?

I don't know about "favorite of all time" in my case, but it's certainly a little "found" gem, for sure. Clearly in the top group of films I've seen this year. Anybody who watches it just needs to get past the "Oh, crap, it's on video" thing and just enjoy it. After only a few minutes, that aspect of it starts feeling a little verite. And along the way, at some point it dawns on you that it's well-written and well-conceived, not to mention about things that matter. Imagine that.
