Why was he so happy?

>>213648548 (OP)
It's propaganda to make you accept your life as a whipped faggot slave. This will be reality for 99% of White men.

>>213648548 (OP)
Did you not see the end where it finally showed the part of his day where he loses his shit in the car on the way to his work, every single day? lol

you left out one crucial detail

>in japan

an uneventful dignified life in japan is worth more than all the riches in the world

>>213648548 (OP)

Independent living together with the deep gratification of not having to care for others, of not being on the hook for anybody else.

They had a good life

Does someone like this seem happy to you?

>>213648995
Yeah I would rather be the "poor" tradesman I am living in a suburb surrounded by woodland and fields doing the bare minimum to pay my bills and enjoying the day.

>>213648995
Being a fag in gay Paris is the dream for a lot of faggots and ethots and this gay dude is living their dream by wageslaving in an open office and eating overpriced goyslop.

>boring wageslave life
did you watch the movie, he didn't find it boring
>no family
again, did you watch the movie
>zero future prospects
he lives in Tokyo, he doesn't need to earn 324934092834029 quid to live well like in the USA

>>213648846
how the hell do you even get in or out of that lmao, was he a contortionist?

>>213649298
It was not designed for the person to get out once they were in

>>213649240
>he lives in Tokyo
He is literally a wage slave paying rent until he becomes senile and gets put on the streets because he has no gfmily to take care of him.

>>213648995

what about this guy

>>213648548 (OP)

you wouldn't get it

>>213648995
>he has 2 jobs
People don't even have one nowadays, so yes

>>213649354
So many dudes I know like this who have girlfriends yet still prioritize gaming over them. Don't have romantic partners just so you can feel like you've accomplished something if all you're gonna do is jerk off over media

He appreciates the little things in life, even if his own circumstances aren’t perfect.

>>213648548 (OP)
he didnt cope
he made the best out of situation and lived with great dignity

he was a big shot businessman before giving away all his money according to a Wim Wenders interview which I think detracts from the movie
watching this on MDMA was incredible

>>213648548 (OP)
Because the movie is tourist's fantasy about Japan. No one would make that movie if the guy cleaned sewers in Delhi. Or worked at a fast food joint next to a favela.

Hell, there's a scene where a tourist asks him how the toilet works since it has some futuristic display that has you shitting in full view of everyone. Everything is clean, everyone is nice, there is no crime and Jarmusch thinks he can sell his shitty casette tape collection to Nips at $500 per pop.

People shit on that Ice Cube movie but this one is peak boomer delusion. Ice Cube's movie is completely rooted in reality, they already have surveillance tech that surpasses everything shown in that movie and it's easier to use it.

>>213648620
>every single day

No.

>>213648620
>every single day
no, it was that one time and the tears were interjected with genuine smiles just like how a sad period of your life is interjected with happiness

>>213648995
>this illiterate book huffing fag has a better life than you

>>213649505
Random mood swings and crying are a sign of brain injury.
Based Wim Wenders taking advantage of a jap retard.

>stop being content!!

>>213649347
maybe so but you were outright lying by saying he didn't like his job and that he had no family

>have gf
>have job
>went out to party and shit
>still just wanna post on 4chan
What is wrong with me

>>213649481
Yeah, he clearly came from money and could’ve leveraged that into a successful career, but I don’t like the idea of him “giving it all away.” I got the sense that maybe he ran away from his family in the midst of going to grad school or being groomed to take over the company or something. Obviously he could be rich right now if he had made different choices and stuck around, but you’re absolutely right that squandering money he actually had changes the film, and not for the better.

>>213649596
>In an interview with The Progressive, Wenders revealed that, in his conception, Hirayama was a wealthy alcoholic businessman who, after ending up in a hotel room with no memory, contemplating suicide, and being struck by the beauty of sunlight falling through leaves, gave up his career and became a gardener and then a toilet cleaner.[7]
fucking hate it

>>213649354
He's dedicating his free time to anime yet he's still watching/playing/reading entry level stuff?

>>213649639
If it’s not in the movie, it’s not in the movie.

>>213649491
>No one would make that movie if the guy cleaned sewers in Delhi. Or worked at a fast food joint next to a favela
They do make those movies though. Nobody watches them, but they make 'em all the time

>>213648995
swimming every morning sounds nice

>>213649491
Even in this movie he was not cleaning the average japanese toilet. They were designer toilets built as an art exhibit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tokyo_Toilet

>>213648574
Can verify that.

>>213649382
That's considered a big apartment in Japan.

>>213650417
kek here i was lauding Tokyo like "holy shit they have different looking toilets everywhere?"

Hes in japan

>>213648658
Japs do nothing but work, work, work, drink, work, drink, work, commit adultery, work, and more work until they threw themselves into a moving train

t. spic who lived in Japan

He lives in a high IQ ethnostate, something westoids will never experience

>>213650680
sounds based desu

>>213648620

>>213649354
If he lives on his own that's not bad

>>213648995
Anon the majority of anons here work suicide fueled entry level jobs or are on public welfare while living with their parents. You have no idea how spoiled you are to post this faggots vlog

>>213648548 (OP)
thats why gay people are called gay, because they're happy just sucking dicks

wheres saddam husein

>>213648548 (OP)
His life is not boring to him. He is fully alive and aware and not numbing out all the time. He grooms himself, is into photography, reading, and taking care of his plants. He is kind of a diogenes character in some ways, but he is also contributing to society by keeping it clean. He had a good heart. Him crying at the end and then smiling is the duality of life, sadness, and utter joy, when he is looking at the sunrise.

Stupid people are usually happy and content with their pathetic lives. He is an idiot.

>>213649067
Literally me

>>213651088
>he doesn't know about the absurdly high suicide rate

>>213648995
no. his tiktok page is littered with these videos. it would be horrible to be so vain.

>eating "ramen" with a fork
ahhhhHHHH

>>213648548 (OP)
He's delusional, not happy. The movie glorifies being miserable.

>>213648548 (OP)
I'm gonna end up like him, so I asked the director to make him happy. Now I can pretend I'll be happy too.
OR
Nips are cucked or something.
Pick one.

I mean there are actually many people who live like him and aren't depressed like westerners imagine
That's pretty realistic

>>213652648
>>have to go drink with the boss after work
I guess that's probably like below 10% of Jap workers nowadays

>>213650680
sounds based but that's like believing all ameriacans are fat and racist

Whats with the southwest lifestyle that makes you accommodated with shit like this? It’s one of the reasons i left the city i used to live in and now im happier than ever to do so

well, that's not how it works

>>213654924
well that's exactly what just happened lil pup so you're gonna have to deal with it

>>213654952
he claimed that's any japanese man's dream so one jap is enough to prove him wrong.

>>213655011
man, you're a weirdo
commit sudoku to stop dishonoring the image of your people

I got the impression that he didn't want to visit his father because he has some form of dementia/alzheimers and he retreated to this life because he knows that's also his future. He also didn't remember giving his niece the camera when that seems like it'd be a big deal for him.
