4. What! It's been nominated for Best Picture!? That's great!It looks like it's going to win Best International Feature!

5. This is going to be interesting!

7. It's been getting a lot of attention overseas, winning awards.Former President Obama even chose it as his favorite movie of the year

<< I don't know a lot but since parasite won, isn't there a feeling it will be somewhere else than asia this time time [+42, -5]
<< By the way, the director of "Parasite" also praised this movie a lot [+134, -3]


9. I thought it was going to be a "don't think, feel" kind of art film.
The story was surprisingly solid and there were some powerful scenes, so I was betrayed in a good way

10. I was surprised to see that it was nominated in all the major categories

11. Best Picture is awesome.
It's almost three hours of Nishijima Hidetoshi  in it.Does that mean the whole world will be watching him for 3 hours?

12. This is a great accomplishment for a Japanese film that was recently mentioned in girls channel that it would never be nominated for Best Picture, let alone International Feature Film

14. From a foreigner's point of view, acting as good as Nishijima Hidetoshi's looks natural...

15. I don't know why they didn't advertise this movie at all when it was released in japan, I couldn't  even see Nishijima Hidetoshi who has an image if advertising a lot, do it. Maybe it's because they didn't expect to make so much money but it wasn't on the theaters a lot. What a shame
