Fili’s world

I’ve been seeing so many Asian movies lately, and I almost forgot about this one. It took me a while to get to it, but I finally did and it’s… overwhelming.

With other movies I might go into a deep investigation of the Japanese culture, think out loud about the nerd/geek phenomena (which, in a way, I’m part of), go into the psychological aspects of social phobia and the fears of growing up and finding true love. But that would not do it justice since Train Man is about alot more than that. I laughed, I sympathized, I was worried, I was excited, and hmm… yeah… I even shed some tears.

There’s no escaping it - Train Man is me, Train man is us. Even if we’re the super confident multi extrovert “pick-up clubber” kind’o type, I honestly believe that we’re all like that inside. Somewhat scared of the world, unconfident in our actions and of what we’ve never known before yet we’re even more afraid of missing out on something that big and ending up alone. It’s so rare to have such opportunities in our lives that we experience something so basic and so pure, someone so powerful that it changes our whole lives and changes who we are completely - not on the outside, but in the way that we feel everything and the way we live through this world.

There is hope for us still, something or someone is out there for us, and we live for that special moment that it arrives.
