I enjoyed the movie, too. I give 3 out of 5.
We are all grown-ups. I hope that people know what is
real and what is not.(although I am aware that there
are some under-aged people in this group without the
age restriction)
My point is this, though. If you want to compare
yourself with say, Kenshin, limit your comparison
between you and Kenshin. Do not extend it to between
Japan and America.
It is like saying that hey I am from Japan. So,
everybody here has swords. Or I am from America.
Everybody here is intelligent... It is just silly.
As a foreigner, when I meet American friends, I do
find very respectful and competent people. But, I do
meet some loser who just makes me uncomfortable by
tying his or her identity to that of America, saying
that I am a merely(?!) Korean... These losers have
obviously have problem with his or her self-esteem,
which I can not help.
But, when I see America, I think of John. F. Kennedy,
Georgy Washington, Kenneth. Galbraith, Walt Rostow,
and etc... That is why I came to this country.
Sincerely,
Changsub Lee
