....it was a pretty film in many ways, but having lived in tokyo for 2
yrs,
i cannot understate how painfully boring the two characters were in
their
exploration of all that is tokyo. two people so uninspired to
experience
the vastness of the tokyo cultural landscape sort of made it hard for me
to
endow them with any sort of character depth. as a result, i found them
quite pitiful and hard to lead me to any land of mystery. but if you
havent
been there, perhaps it would be a nice visiit. my opinion of tokyo: it
makes NY look like what it is, and it makes all other cultural meccas
look
painfully unnecessary.
[Blunderov]
While I take your point, it seems to me the two characters, Charlotte
and Bob, were trapped in circumstances that that made them feel
strangers to their own lives and Tokyo made this painfully clear to both
of them.
I envy you your two years there.
Best Regards
