I was really expecting more out of this film.
I understand that it was an attempt to help people understand that they can be whatever the want by believing in themselves, but I just plain didn't believe in this movie. And I really wanted to badly. It just didn't happen.
And by the way, it's 2004. Shouldn't we be able to see effects in a Japanese film that look at least like the best from the U.S. in 1999??? Again, I like the idea of an uplifting Miike film. I am a Miike fan through and through. If you want to see him do something positive and upbeat, however, go watch "The Bird People In China". It may just be his greatest film to date.
