I didn't really understand it at first....

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 2013)

I watched the movie in Japanese with English subtitles. At the end, I was a bit confused, asking myself if that really was the end or if I missed some crucial dialogue. I don't speak Japanese so maybe the subtitles I got were inaccurate or too literal that only a Japanese speaker would comprehend the real meaning behind what was said. Most of my confusion stemmed from the high ratings it received, which I looked up beforehand. So I just had to look up the themes involved in the film and now it all makes sense. I enjoyed the film despite the confusion, and I'm sure after giving it another go, maybe with English audio this time, I'll enjoy it even more.
After more thought, maybe I'm not cut out to watch movies with themes that aren't blatantly fed to me through the dialogue and that I should stick to movies similar to The Hangover.
