Do you think this is a true story?
Yes, I think so.
Can this really happen in today's modern times?
Yes, I think so.
This movie was so funny.
Few Japanese are deeply devoted to a specific religion and that, in fact, many profess to have no interest in religion at all. In the other countries, faith to the religion is fervent, and it strongly has an influence on life. So even if there is a thing such as this movie, it isn't strange at all.
