It's a film. I am expressing shock and disbelief, perhaps amazement, with regard to it.

It's one of my favourite films. The book's quite good as well although it's pretty much a different entity. I'd avoid the sequel though.

Why didn't you say that, then .....

Seriously, it's an excellent movie and very disturbing on the first viewing .....

It's an amazing movie and book. I read somewhere they're making an American remake as well.

Yeah, sequels rarely match the original and remakes even less so .....

I read about the sequel on Wikipedia - it seems they changed the main character's personality from a slightly wimpy romantic to a cold-blooded psychopath. Very strange

The sequel's a mess. Nothing about it makes a lick of sense.

I was surprised at how little involved Chigusa was with regard to Rory's emote LOL

Yeah, she's kinda just there briefly. She's in it for a few more chapters in the book if I recall.

Ridiculously entertaining and funny movie. See also... House.

I found it an unexpected gem, as not something I'd heard of before (as either a book or movie) and randomly told my V+ Box to record.

BUT - I hated the ending. All through the film I was fully expecting Noriko and Nanahara to 'ride off into the sunset' as love's new dream.

When Kawada 'shot' them, I thought this movie has got me fooled again about what it is!! Brilliant and unexpected

But then disappointment - there is 'run off into the sunset ending'

The ending reminded me so much of the original release of Blade Runner where Hollywood had insisted that there be a happy feeling. Deckard and Rachael driving away...........

Ridley Scott, as you all know, wanted the elevator doors shut to be the closing frame to leave it to the imagination, but the Americans like happy endings.

As an aside - isn't the teacher, the guy who was the prison guard in Mr Christmas Mr. Lawrence

I loved this movie, was great,

I need to re-watch this. I don't really think I gave it enough of a chance the first time around, nor do I think I really understood it.

I bought the limited edition Blu Ray set not long ago, with the art cards and comic and stuff.
It's been one of my top 5 films since I saw it for the first time about 7 years ago.
As already said. The sequel is horrible.
This, Death Note and Shogun Assassin are some of the best films ever.
