A bit boring in some part

Koreeda has done a great job of creating a samaurai movie stating non violence is a better path in life than chopping people. He tried to make it like a comedy instead of staying too "japanese". I enjoy "Bushi no Ichiban"(Love and Honor)by Yamada more. Then we are comparing a great director like Yamada to someone new in the industry. Can be edited to make it less boring for the western
market.
