deserves more credit than original music score...

Rating: 9/10 (17 March 2006)

i don't wanna be some whinny critic talking how the Oscars are nothing but political n stuf ..
but this is movie deserves more credit than it was given i think .. stands on par with crash ... well thats my opinion anyway .. some ignorant mofo from half way cross the globe ..
i watched this movie made about half a century back .. by a Japanese director .. it was a movie about this clerk in a government office .. just another "indifferent govt employee", true to the stereotype of a government employee .. until one day he finds out that he has lung cancer .. well .. and his life changes .. he does something with his life or at least tries to ..
i am not trying compare one of the greatest cinematic geniuses with this movie here ... but .. some how the movie had remarkable resemblance to what i had watched couple of years back .. both examining human behavior .. "the man" .. and all of his kind .. yea .. how some things can change the way we see things around us .. i think the movie examines this very beautifully .. or at least fits my stereotype of what it would if a something like this happened in the present day ..
the movie i was mentioning was none other than .. Kurosawa'a ikuru .. i am not from japan, neither am i from the united states .. some how .. in my eyes these movies both show me a consistent picture of what it would be in these men's shoes .. i liked that . 9 out of 10 for that ...
see, man ain't like the dog .. when i mean man .. i mean man kind ..
