Westernization and liberalism.

Who could write a song about that?

And he did a very good job! Pacific Overtures is genius! I particularly love the violin, and the spoken parts :))

"1975 weather bureau statistics report 162 days on which the air quality in Tokyo was acceptable!"

Uhm?

"Sometimes, people need time for learning. People always learning all though their life. Look at Mama Bird; she push baby out of nest and that's it. If Baby Bird fly, good for baby. If Baby Bird fall and crack head on ground and get eaten by cat, then he need to do better next time."

I've never seen a more sexually-explicit film than this one. It's got it all: straight, gay, even group sex.

But beneath all those, it's a great movie. It's fresh, brave and celebrates sex as a natural, human act and its role in human relationships. The emotional journey of the characters is really the core of this movie.

Go see it!
