| i saw it
i actually thought it was very good. i thought the main character was surprisingly convincing. the races were inventive and fun to watch. the film was realistic about the danger these characters were putting themselves in (not something i've felt with any other movie of this kind).
i liked how they represented japan. the cinematography was good, and they included lots of random details about japanese life that were interesting. best of all, although they made japan look different, they didn't imply that it's weird or inferior there. most films set there do. take lost in translation for example, it kept laughing at the japanese and making them look stupid. this film had respect for them
i don't even like cars much. i think if someone did, this film would be great. it's the perfect teenage boy movie too.
oh and the soundtrack was good |
