Money money money
This movie is more than a story of a bunch of rich Asians brats. It is about love and what you will do to get it and keep it. Is it worth the sacrifice simply to live happily ever after¿ Besides the Gabsty style attitude of living the good life, this movie showcases strong women. How they are the ones that keep the home front and determine the direction of the future. Interesting to me to see all these Asians both condeem but relish in the Western World of luxury. Overall a good story and one that captures the changing new Asia world.

I saw in the theater the 20 year anniversary showing of this cult classic. The dude is a still an interesting character as he deals with an array of individuals with competing interest.

Every year in a sleepy town in Japan, Taiji there is a ritual of hunting whales and dolphins. From the outside it seems cruel and unusual. But from the inside it comes from a long tradition.
