I was so excited to finally meet someone from Japan. The guy had that typical Japanese looks that I have seen in Japanese movies. So we discussed a few things and then I talked about Japanese movies. The guy was happy to know that I like Japanese movies. But when I mentioned about Sanso Dayu, he hasn't heard of it. He hasn't heard of Harakiri either. Not even Narayama Bushiko. Finally, I mentioned Kurosawa and he knew him but the guy has not seen any of his movies. WTF...What an anticlimax. All my interest declined right then.  |

Yeah man people usually have bad taste when it comes to their own country's films or just oblivious to them. Same happened with me and a Korean friend.

For all we know, he was talking about Kiyoshi Kurosawa. |

For all we know, he was talking about Kiyoshi Kurosawa. LOl. I have always been fascinated by Japan. I would even have suggested him to watch a few movies together but the dude said that he likes American movies. Anyway, he is just for 3 weeks. He is here working at some restaurant and he is on tourist visa. WTF. After 3 weeks the Pakistani flatmate will return (who went to Pakistan for his marriage) and then at least I can go to some Pakistani restaurant to eat and may be show him some dialogues of Betaaj baadshah.. |

Though I find Ray to be trite in his endings. |
