Because we here at sugarhigh! HQ are limited in our grasp, we didn't understand this very complicated and conceptually ambitious film. However, we did mange to glean a couple useful lessons:
• Giving Brad Pitt a smaller role doesn't make him a better actor.
• When crosscutting between a third- and first-person camera to drive home some point via cinematic form comma dude, a director may pretend that deaf people don't experience bass.
• Deaf girls, or perhaps Japanese girls, are hot.
• Air power is the key to victory, just like on the History Channel, and is always on the side of good.
• Somewhere there is a cafeteria made of awesome synth, videogames, and plasma screens, named "J-Pop"; you should totally go there, if you can.
