I loved it. I found I related to Bill, although he's older and has kids. I related to what he saw in Scarlet, and found the film very believeable. I believed both of them. The story had a lot of realism as well. Loved it.
I related to both of them regarding Japan. I found similarities to my experiences in Singapore. The whole TV thing, including the "crazy" host, the Karaoke phenomena, the divergence in taste (Roger Moore) etc. Captured so much of the initial alienation, and subsequent attraction ("I wanna get healthy... eat less pasta, eat more sushi")
The dawn/dusk shots created so much dreamy atmosphere. I've walked in the temples Scarlet wandered through. The same ones, in Tokyo. I RELATED. I haven't related to a film in such a way in a long time. As my marriage went bust, I was attracted to another woman as it collapsed... I understood Bills character.
Scarlet of course is an mind numbingly beautiful woman who I could watch for days. She is a phenomenally attractive and appealing woman. MORE MORE!
