| Japan, exploring the local culture, meeting the people and
| offering travel hints rarely found in guidebooks".

| And in general, watching NHK you get a perspective on things
| that are entirely missing or lacking in the US (e.g. things
| that inspire confidence and trust in public institutions, what
| the government is doing to prepare for natural disasters).
|
| This documentary is really eye-opening about Miyazaki, his
| creative process, mental state, and the relationship with
| Studio Ghibli. Depressing, but I thought it was worth watching.

| It's fun to watch, but you should always take it with a grain

| was nary a negative fact about Japan ever mentioned. There are
| no problems, no conflicts...only beautiful country where old
| women still gather acorns by hand, and 80 year-old men who are
| free to hone their lifelong craft of making tofu.

| This is absolutely the atmosphere of My Neighbor Totoro.

|
| Every 80 year old guy is "the last X artist of the
| prefecture" and grandma is crawling around picking acorns or
| wrapping pears by hand as "my children moved to the city".
| Every rural train and road are empty. I'm sure the Japanese
| have an appropriate word for melancholy.
|
| Document 72 Hours can be soul crushing. One minute school
| kids buying paper products at a HW store, the next an older
| guy looking at kitchen tiles and talking about how his wife
| always wanted a new kitchen and he never had time for it. And
| now she's dead.
