I am not surprised that some of the people were non-plussed after watching this movie ...Some saw only bcz they were stuck on a 12 hour flight.
To understand this movie u would have to understand the piece of Japanese folk dance at the end[ though that has got nothing to do with the movie ] or indeed the Japanese culture itself.
For most it's nothing more than a mild curiosity or a mere moment of interest, here n there ...
But when u watch it for a little longer u would understand how gentle, how subtle and yet so firm, the emotions are ..
How beautiful the noncomprehending noises r in the background .. N before u know u r floating in a river of solitude ..
Yes! this one is for those who love poetry, who admire beauty. Numbers r not just dead figures but each has a character like a human being ..
We have come to expect a regular dose of sex content in such movies from the Hollywood .. I guess for them it won't do without a boisterous love seen when there is a talk of extra-marital love affair ...
Anyways, there r so many things that I can talk about this movie but I won't, I am not even going to make an attempt.
However somethings I will cherish forever .. Eri Fukatsu's smile, Professor's character, The movie's feel, Root ..
Am I the only one I wonder .. surely it can't be!

Whatever I say about Tsogakare Seibei will be I am afraid, won't be enough ... Let me say right off the bat that this is NOT a regular Samurai flick ... It involves a Samurai, a fight but still it's not about fighting at all...rather it's intricacies which makes it a complete retainer.
A story so simple yet so moving, a narration from a grown up kid, acting as real as it comes and a culture so humble and yet so deeply attractive .. This is a gem I have seen in a long time N it's just increased my already burning fascination for everything Japanese ...
It's a shame that people can get there hands on a Scary Movie part, but don't even get to hear about a gem like this ...
If u can have ur hands on this one ... then there is no excuse, watch it!

I have thoroughly enjoyed movies like You've got mail, 50 first dates to The Animal and the American Pie series...
However these movies don't cut across the genres ..
Many believe that the previous editions of Austin Powers r the best .. They might be true. But I am grateful to the God Almighty that I saw this one first!
If this movie can't make u laugh and feel a complete sense jubilation than something is seriously amiss with you .. Yeah baby
I have seen it a Gazillion times n each n every time it cheers me up. There is perhaps no other movie of whose scene's I have paused, re winded, seen over n over again ...
N at the end of it you have GOTTA admire this man called Mike Myers... Aah what a man.
It's too bad there have been no more Austin Powers movies .. But this is a character which will not stop to charm u even after a 100th sequel!!
Just watch it ...
