probably more manic-depressive, but not as a result of being an expat. being manic-depressive made me more likely to like this lifestyle. some days i wake up and i literally think i can take over asia. of course that's nonsense.

i mean, every scene relies totally on some demeaning gag about Japanese people. the silliness of their TV personalities, the "Oh look how tall Bill Murray is next to these ridiculous Jap munchkins!" scenes, just the sense of the white people being these dignified beings moving through the droll landscape of asian 'otherness' or whatever.

i've said this before, but hipsters are actually very racist and xenophobic.

there are a lot scenes that use japanese people for comedic effect, but it's really bill murray's inability to mix with them that's so funny. him being too tall for the shower. the language barrier. the director guy's pronunciation. i mean..if murray could speak japanese, this scene wouldn't exist. so i don't think it's racist. it's showing the marginalization and how he doesn't fit in.

It's geared towards stupid as fuck American whites who never have been abroad and never will be. Murray acts like a infant. Even redneck shits who go to Asia adapt more quickly and easily. And to think most Japs even care about inferior TTT white American shits who look like two to three human beings cause the eat more calories than a fucking dinosour is lol. A great movie would be doing the reverse, of a NOWAG going to Amerikkka, and being like WTF, this shit isn't like the movies: Everyone is a fat idiot with a semi automatic assault rifle who dresses worse than a Kike bitch in Aushwitz.
