I went this simply because it had such a relatively high rating on IMDb.
But as a few others have said it's a grind other than the nice interesting Tokyo scenery that I would not have normally seen from an every man's perspective
It can be summarized by watching it seeing a man cleaning toilets for two hours in Tokyo. Yes he is content in his job. And he sees the beauty in the world.
I won't say it's the worst movie I've ever seen but it's not a movie I would recommend to others but then given the awards it is had obviously I must be missing something.
The only things that broke up the monotony was a visit by his niece and his consoling the ex-husband who has cancer.
But I did enjoy the Tokyo scenery as seen by an every day resident
And I was struck by the Japanese minimalist style in his humble apartment.
