no one is obligated to recommend you slop. This is a capeshit shilling board

>>213326693 (OP)
That's just a skill issue.

tv has talked about it in the past.

>>213327728
ive seen like 5 posts of this

>toilet cleaner living in beautiful quiet japan with people you relate to both past and present
vs
>being a cab driver in the pits of hell with no one to talk to or relate to
just be happy

having finished it now, i don't know if it's good. real people don't act like that and these things situations just don't happen in real life. the worst part was when it's revealed that he is actually le wealthy somehow and chooses to clean toilets instead of being chauffeured around like his sister. it's like the whole movie had been a lie from the start until that point. this whole thing just seems like a geriatric old man's idea of the world and excuse to put his favorite boomer music on film. i would also like to point out the suspiciously german looking family randomly existing in Japan, at minute 00:32, could these be mr. Wender's grandchildren?

Going to Japan depressed me because it reminded me of Sweden when I was a kid. So much can change so rapidly. So fucking rapidly.

Wim Wenders' romantic Japanophilia. Japanese would never see it this way, but how the guy is downtrodden and exposes issues they need to fix. Or he's a hidden serial killer/rapist/outcast.

>he was rich all along
welp ok im not watching the movie. what the fucks the point.
also big lebowski type shit when you find out his uncle invented the rubix cube and you find out hes the inheritor. no WONDER he doesnt give a fuck

The ambigious ending saves it from being slop.

>>213328481
i mean wenders made a documentary about ozu, he loved the guy and perfect days is clearly another tribute to him

>>213328437
Him being rich is not really implied in the movie, it's just something Wenders brings up in an interview which is stupid like you said and I choose to ignore

>>213328701
it is clearly shown that his sister is wealthy and she says, in disbelief, "are you really cleaning toilets?"
i think the intention is clear

>>213328791
Or the sister married into wealth, there's more than one way to read that scene

>>213328141
Once again, skill issue. Has been talked about many many times. Maybe don't get stuck on /pol/.

>>213326693 (OP)
must've been living under a rock

>>213328481
Japan has many people like this. But they are not toilet cleaners. More like this philosophy is in skilled trades and craftsman. Toilet cleaners are all foreign now.

>>213328791
They imply it's inherited and he rejected it.

>>213328437
>>213328701
It's definitely meant to signify to the audience that he chooses to live his life the way he does. He isn't doing it because he couldn't achieve or doesn't have higher means, but because he finds enjoyment in it. Especially since there seems to be some tension between him and his family, even more reason to choose a different path. I don't think it's stupid at all, probably a message more people would benefit from. Money ain't everything, hell, it ain't much at all.

>/tv/ FAILED to inform me of this kino.
No. I made at least two threads about it.

>>213328437
Maybe try watching the movie again but this time don't touch your smartphone and actually pay attention

Life affirming comfy kino of the highest order.

>>213329483
this relates to which point that i made?
and i'll have you know i watched this 2 hour movie over the span of 4 hours due to rewinding all the time to look at the details. i paid enough attention.

>>213329533
>Life affirming
>comfy
The mc is literally running from his past and hiding from people he knows, including his own family.
There are multiple scenes in the movie where he breaks down in tears because he's unsure he's done the right thing or not... including the aforementioned ambiguous ending.

>>213329918
This is all headcanon. The end is ambiguous, yes, but it could just as easily be interpreted as him being not a "monk", or a "ascended" person that found the true meaning of life and is always happy, but a regular person instead, who will feel negative emotions from time to time. It's not a binary thing, don't understand why almost everyone sees it like that.

I wonder if his days will remain perfect with all the indian imigrants now

Rock.

It was nominated for an academy award. It stars one of the biggest actors in Japan. It was helmed by one of the great German directors. It made a splash at the festivals. If you're plugged into movies at all, this one was on your radar, bub.

>why didn’t /TV/ tell me this wim wenders movie was kino
Everything he makes is kino anon, even that gay little fashion documentary he did about yohji Yamamoto

Japanese cant act imo

>>213330586
I didn't like Wings of Desire tbqh

>>213330586
I didn't like Paris Texas at all. Watched it multiple times trying to...
Loved Perfect Days though.

>>213330170
Jeets won’t clean toilets nor use them so he’ll be fine.

>>213330602
isnt this unironically cause of kabuki or something

try making that film in europe lol, give me a guy who finds peace in cleaning toilets so dirty the stench alone will make you sick

>funny cleaner
:/
>Funny cleaner, Japan
:O

>>213330718
They won't shit on the streets like they do in India. They will feel the pressure to not do it in public so they will go to nearest alley or public bathroom and shit on the floor.

>>213330859
yes

Hipster retard boomer director thinks he can sell shoddy tapes to slants: the movie
