“25 years ago I made up my mind I would move to Japan. So I wrote to people in Japan who had lived there for over thirty years, and asked them what would be the #1 movie I should watch that encapsulated the spirit of the Japanese.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThey all suggested u0026quot;24 Eyesu0026quot;. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow, after having lived in a strictly Japanese environment for five years, and having seen well over thirty Japanese movies, not to mention over a thousand hours of TV shows and animae, it is still the #1 to me. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBy todayu0026#39;s standards it will seem extremely u0026quot;Gu0026quot; rated, a little too slow and a bit too long. But for those who want to really understand people, and where they are coming from, I canu0026#39;t think of a better movie to recommend. I wish every culture, particularly those that may be going extinct, would use this movie as a guideline to tell their story.”
