  • This movie is sooooo bad, soooo boring

  • this is a beautiful looking movie

  • love ryuichi sakamoto <3

  • the book and the movie both were absolutely beautiful for me... it's a really subtle thing,in my opinion everything was about that quote: "it's like being nostalgic about something that will never happen"

    the music is so suggestive and the movie has something really unique and special.

  • i assume this is from the book "silk" .( where he smuggles the silk worms out of japan ), jesus . i hope the film was better than the book . the book was the biggest load of pretentious tripe ive ever read .

  • hÌhi_ÄnYÖñé_wáNna_chÅt_wÎth_mÉ­_Î_fèël_sÒ_lÖnÈlÿ_tòÐÄý!

  • GAAAAAYYYYYYY

  • kyaa the only reason i wanted to watch this was cause of hongo kanata but i cant find it anywhere :'p

  • where can i watch this movie?

  • i have seen it in blockbuster so probably anywhere !

  • This was a great movie. I really don't understand the negative comments about this film. It clearly was a love story so, i don't know why people kept "waiting for something to happen" Its not an action film. The acting all around was good and Sei Ashina was great. Just gazing into her eyes was amazing. Only thing i didnt like is when he went back and was confronted he didnt fight back. You travel that distance and you are armed with a gun.Shoot someone,go down fighting(he was French) never mind.

  • Comment removed

  • the best movie i have ever seen

  • Did any of you read the book? Read it and then comment.

  • i didnt see kanata hongo in the trailer :*(

  • Michael Pitt kind of looks like a younger Leo DiCaprio. He has such a beautiful face. He will be a bigger star once that HBO series Martin Scorcese produced gets started. But Michael needs to watch his weight.

  • i wanna see this movie...

  • did you like silk? i ended up just fastforwarding to the Hongo scenes...

  • good argument, but you're not putting up any supports.

    Anyway, your description about the far east is what they would say about the far west.

    "how exotic and oriental. the mysterious culture of the far west never fails to enchant, enthrall, and seduce, with its lush landscapes and passive, exotic women. then! enter the bold, rugged eastern man, rational and imperious, the only figure capable of conquering this mysterious and sensual landscape."

    All countries r ethnocentric indifferentlevels.

  • Not necessarily. We may like it because of a particular movie star is among the cast... btw I don't quite like the main character's attitude either...

  • Hongo has the same birthday as me =) haha November 15 woohoo~!

    just wanted to share that .

  • the book is also available in english:

    SILK.

    Off course the film is not a match to the book

    Also in english "Ocean sea" is a must.

    Alessandro Baricco is one of the best things that have happened in Italy in the last 15 yrs.

  • I just watched the movie, and dont understand why he never sleeps with the woman he loves in Japanm but she alows him to bed her friend!! Someone please explain!!

  • What Song Is This??

  • it had nice scenery .. or atleast the half of the movie i saw did. I had to turn it off. The editing style just putt me off .. I wasn't captivated by the story at all. Keira Knightley's American accent seemed to vanish at some parts too. The music was beautiful though, but i didn't like half of the movie i saw.

  • sorry for crappy english. It's not my native language.

  • This isn't a bad film. Pitt was miscast, true, but he wasn't that bad either. He just didn't have the charisma yet (he didn't live up to that surname.)The producers must've thought that if Ryan Gosling became hot, Michael could also be hot. Not yet.

  • does anyone know where i can find the soundtrack?

  • does anyone know where i can get a copy of the letter..its great letter to read to a your girlfriend

  • Try the novel by the same title by Antonio Baricco. Must have been translated into English. As far as I remember, it contains the full letter (but evidently in a 'girl to boy' version ;-) in full.

  • I'm Mexican and I like Asian girls a lot, but if I see an Asian girl with a White guy 1 more time I think i'm gonna explode !!!!!!!!

    What do White guys have that we Mexicans don't ?

  • Asian and Hispanic babies look weird. =P I should know because I am one. :D

  • i saw your videos, you don't look weird you're actually pretty :)

  • thanks ^.^

  • OMG i need to knwo this song!!

    i cant find it anywhere!

  • WTF is all about with the songs and music on every video comments?

  • cause the song is really good!

  • Does anyone know where I can download this song online?

  • itunes

  • Wow, I'm totally shocked by all of the negative reviews for this movie. I've watched it twice now and at no point did I find it boring. I loved the soundtrack by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Oh well, maybe it was just too subtle for most people. Sucks to be them.

  • I just kept waiting in anticipation for something to happen, and nothing did.

  • i have seen it so beautiful .

  • Is this another romanticized chick flick that takes place in 日本 made for 美國的女人?

  • I Have tried to finish this movie two times now, I just can't. It's so boring.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG SING BOY

  • this was pretty much the entire movie. i just saved you two hours of total boredom. But it was very pretty.

  • Very nice movie Michael Pitt is amazing you guys should watch dreamers another great movie with him

  • What a most senusal and most beautiful Film !!

  • i cried too. :(

    i love the song :X

    does anyone know the name of the song?

  • kanata is in this movie ??? ._.

  • yep..

  • thx ;D ... haa .. excited .. u hav ani idea where this movie can bi found ?

  • oh..sorry,i dun hve an idea..

    waat.jeez..i cnt understnd him.

  • he was the boy who hung himself just after Michael Pitts character gave him a gift of the telescope.

  • That's different from the book. He didn't hang himself. He was executed by hanging.

    Wolfe

  • OMG this movie was so sad. I cried so much! Hehe. Its the type of movie that you only watch once tho. I was wondering why the hell he wanted the japanese girl when he had such a lovely woman back home. Oh well!

  • someone explain the ending of this movie. was it all a dream or something.

  • It was to Ludovic to whom he told the story

    that's all-

    why should it have been a dream?

    I don't get what you were thinking.-It was no dream be assured.

  • No, it isn't suposed to look like or be a dream at all. I would say it portraies somehow lifes reality. Things that happen in peoples lives, however in many ways. And about the end, just as it says in this video info, i would also say that Hélène wrote that letter to him because she wanted to be every woman he may ever fall in love(infatuation ou wahtever) with! She wanted him to be happy.

    ^_^

  • nice video ^_^ joisii

  • you just ruined the film by telling the whole story seriously why?

  • all i've read are bad reviews about the movie... =(

  • yu ruined the movie in your description. thanks alot.

  • Lame. The girl they hired to play the Japanese concubine doesn't look European enough, even though that was how her character was described in the book. Whatever.

  • wow

  • kyaaaa xD wonder wut role kanata is gonna have~

  • can't want till it come out.

  • hey you guys.

    THIS is the movie where kanata stars in.

    the little boy in the chinese/jap/ american horror move silk is called Chen Kuan Po.

  • whwats the movie about

  • About silk... and arround it, a love story of a man who goes to the east, to get the best silk, fall in love with a local, but his love in the west is still waiting for him. Moral dillema's!

  • hongo kanata!eh!!

    that will be the only reason i will see this, i'm in love with that boy. :D

    <33

  • same here.

  • same! i don't care how small of a part he has!!! im watching it!! xP

    when i told my friends this they were lik... ur a loser!

    but i dont really care cuz he is soo cute!!!

  • The movie Silk that I was talking about him being in is Japanese, Chinese, and American all combined (the actors are from all three countries and they speak all three different languages in the movie)!!!! You should check out the trailer!<3 Thanks for you reply though...lol

  • Are you sure Hongo is in this movie because there is this other movie called Silk and he plays a ghost in there?

  • yupp im sure!

    he plays the village boy

    yeayea i saw the horror movie in cinemas awhile ago but its chinese so im sure he isnt in it.

  • waaahhh!!! where's kanata???

    doko???!!!!

  • HAHAHthanks grprsa!!

    daymmnnn maybe i should buy the book too :)

  • @joysii Im guessing the book is better than the movies... :) Good movie tho

  • Wuaa X3 kanata hongo played as a young village boy in this movie huh? XD that gives me an excitement..i can't wait to see the movie..oyea have anyone knows when is the realease date for the worldwide?

  • I read the book and I think Hongo's character played a significant role. It was really sad and touching when I read the part of the village boy. Good book. I like Hongo's role. He's so cute.

  • wuuaaaa you have read the book, XD aa~ tell me more bout kanata hongo..ah i mean the village boy XD aih you make me curious and make me want to read the book too :D

  • The book was really short. The Village boy was like in two chapters, but it was still a significant part. Anwayz, Herve Joncour visits war torn Japan for the fourth time b/c he's so obsessed with the Japanese concubine. When he goes to the village, it is actually burned down and deserted but he encounters a village boy who leads him to some civilization. And that's where the concubine and her master is but something sad happens with the village boy. I don't want to give away any spoilers.

  • I'll tell you the rest about the village boy but if I do then I'm giving away a major spoiler and the book is really short. I finished it in one day, but if you want to know more about the village boy, just message me and I'll tell you. Hopefully Hongo is playing the village boy.

  • Hoho XD thx yo~ same as joysii... want to buy the book too >< hehehe what is the title of the book anyway? X3

  • Ahihi. XDD I know what'll happen to the poor village boy. T_T

  • HAHAHA where is heee?? :(

  • the film looks terible

    but kanata is in this i know, well not my kinda film so i will not be watching it

    if anyone see's this lol tell me the sceen with kanata then i will watch it :P

  • HAHA. yippy joyce. like 5 minutes of hongo kanata in the movie

  • so.. kanata will only appear from this movie in a shorttime won't he? X3 i wish he will be playing another international movie and he will be one of the main cast too~~~

  • kanatas the village boy so hes liek not the main cast sooo hes not in the trailer.. unless hes like one of those villagers in reeds for a raincoat at 0:25.

  • is this movie in youtube already??.. where's kanata?? i havent seen him..
