The whole concept behind Gaijin is just an example of how deeply ingrained racism is in japan.

Ehh..I wouldn't go that far. My english teacher lived in Japan as a Gaijin for a couple years. He was treated with nothing but respect except for a few cases of people being insensitive to him. I would say Gaijin says way more about how isolated Japan is from the rest of the world and how they treat their heritage. It's not like Gaijin are publicly stoned in the streets.
Dimmukane:
So I went and saw this, and it's a decent flick. Something to go see for a good laugh on a weekend.
"Man, you are the Milli Vanilli of patriots!"
Plus you get to see Tom Cruise dancing badly!
Border Reiver:
Does Tom Cruise dance anyother way (I saw Risky Business and am still trying to drink the image of him in his underwear out of my mind)?
So, was it funny, a decent parody, help us out here.
I'm hoping that once it's out on video it'll be an amusing diversion.
StaedlerMars:
I thought the movie was hilarious.
It felt like a parody of a parody. It's blunt and all over the place.
It might not be Zoolander to some people, but I personally thought Zoolander wasn't that good, and this might be better (I'd have to see Zoolander again). But it's basically the same premise. A complete mockery of a media industry, and I thought it was great.
I had no idea Tom Cruise was Tom Cruise. I thought he did a pretty excellent job.
And Robert Downey Jr. was great. This guy continues to amaze me ever since I saw Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Johnny C:
I know who I am!
I'm the dude playin' the dude disguised as another dude!
