Is it me or does the relationship with the two friends look a bit homoerotic in this version? I love the original though, and I'd love to find a japanese version with english subtitles.
@chroNick546 What does being half Japanese have anything to do with the merits of the film. How about this. This is a good movie. I'm full Japanese so that means my opinion matters 2x yours.
@s14tam because I can understand the Japanese culture and living here for so long. But yea you're right.. it doesn't really have much to do with it.. but i still think it's garbage, lol.
@chroNick546 well, how's it any different when US remake a Japanese film, hello, The Ring, The Grudge, Dark Water. US already has remake many Japanese film. Don't you think US should give back to Japan for remaking their film. Beside, fair is fair. I wouldn't mind if Japan remake The Godfather with Sonny Chiba with Vito Corleone.
I love Sideways. If you speak both Japanese and English, please watch both versions and tell me which you prefer. I would be surprised if another team of actors could equal the English version (Giamatti, Church, Oh, Madsen).
Perhaps I'm wrong and it's the great writing (Alexander Payne) - let me know!
@Zerudah: indeed, I believe Asia has recently remake some of our American film. I know Japan remade this and Ghost. I wonder if some of our horror film could be remade for Asia. Like maybe Japan or Korea could remake The Amityville Horror, or The Haunting in Connecticut. The plot stay the same but move the setting to Asia and add Asian culture for the remake.
did any white people go berserk when they remade this? but the asian community shits their
pants if they put a white person to play an originally asian character. who gives a shit? just
pray that the scripts are good.

What's so bizarre about it? I thought about seeing it when it was in theaters, but it actually looked pretty dull.

What a garbage film remake. It's an insult to Sideways and Alexander Payne and the writer. And I'm half Japanese so I have a right to say this.
