The problem with this film is that people will just dismiss it as another "wacky japanese film" and move onto another film. I was watching this film with a friend and hiss immature jokes ruined the first half hour so I told him to fuck off.
Ignorance seems to ruin everything. Love this film.
The song is' Bend and Stretch' a childrens song from an old American children's programme called
Romper Room. This is the Japanese version I presume from the Japanese version of Romper Room. UK & Australia also have or had version of the show Romper Room.
Ah, I love this movie. To me, this is even better than "Amélie" because it's not just funny and sweet, it also has this wonderful tragic story. Despite everything that happened to her, Matsuko always saw the best in people. A very inspirational film; also the director did an amazing job, every episode of Matsuko's life has a different style.
DVD wise I honestly think you should have gone for a widescreen format instead of the letterbox thing with forced subtitles. Also some of the songs weren's subtitled which I would lhave liked to have seen subtitled.
Movie-wise though... Seriously fantastic. Amazing stuff. Insanely funny but also very sade and also very beautiful... great film. One of the best I've seen this year...
loved that movie!
