This movie is stupid and will never reach the right people. The movie is obviously a dramatization geared towards a western audience, and many Japanese people will probably never see the video, nor would they really care to as it's not in their demographic. All that's going to come of this is new fuel for western tree huggers to say things like "Those damn Japanese!," while continuing to sit behind a computer monitor and never even partake in any of these social commentaries. Now all we've got is a bunch of Japanese nationalists who take the side that all this video is is a bunch of foreigners breaking laws and slandering an industry, with the intention of shedding light on a group of people (westerners) who aren't the ones who can even solve the problem.


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.
