The Great Passage

That's the name of a Japanese film we saw, last night in Hong Kong.  Firstly, Monday nights are now discount nights - all seats are $HK70.  Not bad!

We'd have gone to see this film, anyway, as it dealt with the 15 year  'passage' from conception to publication of a new Japanese dictionary.   This might have been a work of fiction but there had to be some reality upon which it was based.

It was a long film.  It dragged at times.  Yet I would recommend it to others to see.    I personally rate films, fitting them into 3 categories:

a)  forget about it - either all or the part of it that I saw prior to 'giving up in despair'.

b)  yeah, it was o.k. (or better) and I'd recommend it to someone else

c)  I liked it well enough that at some point of life, I'd like to see it again!

After a couple of days not feeling as well as I'd have like to have felt, I'm now feeling better.  En route, this morning - back home to Guangzhou.  Seven more days of tax work to be done!!
