Tokyo Drift
 
Hey. Has anyone seen The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift? I was wondering if that portrayed the actual life and culture of Tokyo, Japan at all. I'm well aware that much of the movie wasn't even filmed in Japan, but I wanted to know if it was more or less accurate to the way Japanese culture is.

Also, are the roads really painted all cool and futuristic like they come from a Video game in Japan, like it shows in some scenes of Tokyo Drift?

Thank you.

I`ve seen little bits and pieces of it, and NO, it does not portray anything even close to real life and culture in Japan.

Last night I finally watched it! (aphrodite recorded it for me...POORLY I might add...I had to have closed caption on with the tv turned ALL the way up and had to strain to hear the Japanese...*sigh*)
But it was good!! Didn't have much bakground story to it, just kind of "thrown together" past...but the cars were hot...and so were some of the characters!
:rheart:

storyline of the movie is not good

about the potrayal if it was the same in japan, i think they are not close to it....maybe the school scene like the uniforms and stuffs...

honestly i didn't like it too much the 1st part is the best i think
but the good thing in tokyo drift that it took us to a nice journey to japan
to watch new sights away from usual american sights in most movies

I watched Tokyo Drift...but was not too impressed...cuz' i think it somehow borrowed a lot of things from 'Initial D'...Initial D is much better and more original... :mtongue:

But one thing i liked from Tokyo Drift is that it starred Keiko Kitagawa though she had a lesser role...She is a Japanese idol who played the role of Sailor Mars in the Sailor Moon live action show Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. She has been a model for the Japanese Seventeen magazine since late 2003...:mtongue:
