[quote:584xvkua]I’m usually in agreement with Mark Schilling but I’m still excited for it, Matsumoto is trying to find his feet as a film maker and for me that is just as interesting…I’m sure that being a fan of his style of comedy will give me something interesting out of it.[/quote:584xvkua]
Absolutely; I probably would have hated Scabbard Samurai (an excellent movie!) if not for understanding the subtext and inside jokes. It was ultimately all about Matsumoto and his relationship to the comedy business, but that would fly right over the head of an outsider. The movie becomes bizarre and boring instead.
