Well, my spouse and I just watched this last night, and I must say it left such an impression on me that I had to say something about it. To put it simply, I thought it was...very awesome. But what I thought was the most interesting was when he and I came up with some comparisions between the film we saw and what we would have seen if it had been an American movie.

1. The lead female character would not have been a preteen girl, she would have been a woman in her twenties with breast/lip implants. Probably whiney too. And they'd have taken every chance possible to show her skin.

2. It would be much less about riddles and logic, and much more about gore and special effects.

3. The monster about mid-way through was so disturbing I actually dreamt about it. If an American film company realized they had a design that terrifying, they wouldn't have had it in only one scene. They wouldn't only make it reoccur, they'd stick it in at every possible oppurtunity. Maybe more.

4. There would be a romance angle between said 20-year old cosmetic surgery-chick and some muscular soldier guy. Probably a forbidden one, too.

5. NO SUBTITLES. EVERYTHING HAS TO BE IN ENGLISH, BECAUSE AMERICANS DON'T WANT TO READ. IT'S NOT ENTERTAINING.

6. Less realistic drama, more monsters and magic.

I can probably come up with more, but not off the top of my head at the moment. Anyone who's seen the film, whether you share my opinion or not, feel free to say it here.
