Is it just me, or...
is this not the most depressing movie? I was expecting a bigass catfight towards the middle, the end or somewhere in between.
shareNot really. I thought this was equal to all the other foreign movies with subtle emotional impact as prominent as this one.
share'subtle' emotional impact huh? Not depressing to you? I don't know too many foreign movies where the protagonist is almost sadistically and ritually humiliated through most of film. The character's career was destroyed and that's not sad? Well you're welcome to your opinion.
shareI saw this movie last night and I found it extremely disturbing. It made me very sad to see the continued humiliation the main character went through. I found it extremely depressing. My initial response was anger at Japanese culture, which I know is unfounded since it was only a movie. But I felt so bad for the character being humiliated.
So I agree!! Totally!!!
Although the movie itself was not bed, I did not like the feelings of sadness the movie brought out in me.
i just watched the movie and i cant stop crying. i live in japan and if it wasnt so close to reality i would be having a better experience in japan. i still havent gone so low tho.
shareAmélie knew right from the start that she would work in this company for one year. She felt sure she would become a writer. She had an urge to spend a year in Japan, exactly like some Americans spend a year in a European university. She had the desire to have a deeper knowledge about Japan where she lived during her first five years. She already had high level diplomas and could come back to Belgium and have a better career. In no way, her career was destroyed.
In my opinion, the book is less dull than the film.
