Nobody Knows Review

The other day I had time to comb Netflix's watch instantly. I hear the movies rotate. I actually wanted to watch Thank you for smoking, but it was no longer on watch instantly (sad kanji character here- I haven't seen that yet so I don't know which character to use and will hold back for now). Thank you for smoking was directed by Jason Reitman who recently did Up in the Air. There's my public health plug because that's what I'm studying these days.

Nobody Knows was on it (笑). I didn't watch it again, so I can only tell you my overall impression and not the details. I didn't watch it again because there were so many movies I had not watched, which I reviewed on my other blog.

My overall impression of the movie was - so this is what Japan is like. So people aren't perfect (and I don't mean that in any condescending way). The main character was so good and one of those kids you knew would be god looking when they were older. I think that always helps. It revealed a side of Japan that I was never privy to see - I guess not many are unless they are in Japan.

I highly recommend it. It will make you cry, but make you feel more in tune with Japan. I get a similar feeling when I read Haruki Murakami. Even though his stories are more fantasy like. Give it a try. Tell me what you think.
