Description
Product Description Amazon.com A supposedly true combination of a romance and a Pygmalion story, Densha Otoko began as an on-line tale that captivated audiences in Japan: there's a novel, a TV show, and a manga series, in addition to this feature. The title character is a textbook otaku, an anime and video game nerd who divides his time between the electronics stores in Tokyo's Akihabara district and the computer in his cluttered room. One day on a commuter train, he prevents an obnoxious drunk from bothering a pretty girl. She sends him a set of Hermès teacups as a thank-you and a tentative romance begins. Train Man has no idea how to behave with a girl, so an on-line posse tells him how to dress and what to say. Ultimately, his example inspires them to go out into the world. Director Masanori Murakami effectively uses a split screen to create the on-line community. Takayuki Yamada makes a wonderfully maladroit Train Man: when he calls Hermès for the first time, he holds the phone as if he were about to commit seppuku. Miki Nakatami infuses Hermès with a winning mixture of gentleness and independence. This touching romance will delight Gen-Y and -Z members, whose lives are bound to the Internet. (Unrated, suitable for ages 13 and older: minor violence, alcohol and tobacco use)--Charles Solomon

Densha Otoko is a heart warming, uplifting film. Its a wonderful underdog love story with great story telling. It incorporates a dynamic ensemble cast enabling it to strike resonance with almost any audience. As is to be expected with any foreign film, there will be increased appreciation if you understand the culture from which it comes, but even without an understanding of modern Japanese culture, or more specifically, Tokyo life-style, it is still a touching tale with very entertaining conventions.Being foreign, it can't be given a rating such as G, PG, PG-13, etc., but I would easily rate it as a PG movie. It is good, wholesome, and provides endearing redeeming qualities for every character. Based on an autobiographical novel, it lends itself to the believability that you seldom find in the romantic comedy genre. Naturally, some departures have been made from the original story for the sake of fluidity, but many of the storytelling mechanisms used in the movie are directly derived from the book, making it poetically interesting as well.I'm not one to give story details in reviews, but if you are concerned with the attractiveness of the story, note that the success of the original book spawned an anime series, a television series and this movie, all of which sustained impressive popularity in Japan.Summation: You can't go wrong with this pick.
