an oscar.. its truly amazing..

3. I had some hopes for it

To me it's mostly a mediocre film. Predictable, ill fitted music, little cheesy.
It has its moments. Very little was filmed in Japan.
Gomen.

I guess It really touched me, especially knowing about those woods, for some time.

5. Don't care for McConaughey but it was a little

refreshing to see him out of his normal character, and he had some
painfully dramatic moments along with Watanabe.

You can easily guess where the forest is here on a google maps pic I made
with the 'photo layer' on top. Not many venture in there. I stayed at a small lake resort nearby the forest a couple years back and had a few chances to peer into it.
I wanted to venture in a little ways but my companion was too freaked out.

6. I don't blame them, as they think

the Forrest is quite haunted. Well, in Shinto there are many kinds of spirits, so I can totally understand anyone's reluctance to wander into these woods. Still, Mt. Fuji is so beautiful, just to view it would be amazing. I want to do that some day!
