    Sasq - Lost in translation

    I've just watche the movie and I was curious whether Japan was correctly portrayed there or not.

    Anyway, I loved the movie.

          While I was only there for a short while and didn't really have contact with some of the elements of Japanese culture/society portrayed, the movie didn't seem far off. The politeness was spot on, if that makes any sense.

          Obviously Dan is going to be the "expert" here

          Oddly enough I watched the movie in-flight to Japan.

                      If you download it you don't need a TV. Just play it fullscreen on your 19"/21" screen, pull up a comfy chair and enjoy

                              Well, just watched it. Also spoke with a mate that lives here who has seen it.

                              That is Japan.

                              p.s. the guy with the candy stripe suit is real, thats a real show.
