Owledge Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Naoki had a lot of bad self-indoctrination there. Probably coming from resignation. So beautiful though how well he was accepted by her family. Her dad saying they are considered a "strange family" by people around - strange is good. It shows things not in the mainstream. It's healthy. And especially what her father emphazised: openness. The widespread social sickness in Japan is closedness and pretentiousness. Very likely all things that were engrained in the culture by powerful leaders imprinting their own issues onto society. Â Also, when the filmmaker said about the workplace experience that it looked like communism pretending to be capitalism, I thought, wow, he couldn't have been more wrong and confused, as it should be obvious that it's capitalism pretending to be communism - if at all. Depends on how you interpret communism. Edited January 14, 2013 by Owledge 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
