It's more of a english & japanese language film.

The language barrier is part of the film.
Okay, Brittany Murphy isn't a great actress [wonderful in clueless! but not much after that. >.>] but I'm just in it for the food porn.

I enjoyed "Ramen Girl". It is not so bad considering the miss-communication between Abby and Maezumi. I don't know how English subtitles works (because The DVD I got has no option of English subtitles) and I'm wondering how non-Japanese people catch the miss-communication and the irritation of each side.



And I also watched (and enjoyed much) the Tampopo again and found "Ramen Girl" was omitted some of tactics to cook Ramen because Tampopo already showed them.



According to the liner notes of the "Ramen Girl" DVD, the director of "ramen Girl" was inspired by the movie "Tampopo".

I strongly recommend you (if you watch "Ramen Girl") to enjoy Tampopo which is filmed 25 years ago based on the famous Cowboy movie "Shane".

In Tampopo, you can find "Yamazaki, Tsutomu" (also featured in "Ramen Girl" as master of ramen master and Academy Winner "Departures"), "Watanabe, Ken" (featured in "Last Samurai"), "Yakusho, Kouji" (featured in "Shall We Dance?" and "Sayuri").


Language makes Culture and Culture makes Language.

Smile Brittany Murphy in The Ramen Girl - 12-22-2009, 08:47 PM

OK, so I know she isn't directly related to Japan, but she did star in a wonderful film The Ramen Girl, and I think any Japanese or Brittany Murphy fan would appreciate and enjoy this movie, as it really eternalizes her carefree, sweet image in the setting of a charming Ramen shop in Tokyo.

Perhaps stars fall, just as the rain

Until they burn on a windowpane

The grief of loss no written place

It is simply painted, on my face.

she was pretty cool.. i liked her most in Uptown Girls, but i haven't seen this ramen movie yet.. from the picture it looks ok.. I'm sick of seeing movies in which someone is supposed to be working a hard life and yet they have perfectly white teeth and baby skin... in that she looks pretty rough so it's a good start... i might just check it out sometime
