  As practice for my trip to Japan at the end of September, I watched part of the film 'black rain' last night. This was in the genre of two all American&nbsp;cops going to Japan. The individualistic (confused and angry) American ways clash with the more organized culture of Japan. The bad-ass cop teaches people from Japan that being an outlaw is the most efficient way to get things done.
I can' t say I was convinced. The Japanese help fund the US governments deficit in the 80's, and all they got back were a bunch of anti-Japanese films.&nbsp; did enjoy the style of the film. I think I will concentrate of practicing drinking sake for my trip to Tokyo.
