real men don't cry.

so i guess i'm no longer officially a real man. i can't remember the last time i cried during a movie, but i did today when watching "ashita no kioku" starring ken watanabe. it's about a 49 year old man with alzheimer's disease. i guess a lot of it hit pretty close to home, but the whole movie was just amazing. the confusion, the unanswered questions, the strain on the family, etc. easily the most powerful movie i've seen so far in japan.
