I meant of course the second echelon films and our acceptance of them. Most commonly that acceptance goes beyond the merint of the work.In Tampopo, for instance, there is that part about loud slurping. To a Japanese this is not of any interest, as he hears those loud sounds around him every day, but to a typical Westerner (checked on several people) this is a lovely and cute episode.
Another such example would be the totally pedestrian Shall We Dansu?, another Japanese film. Taken on its own and measured against the absolute scale that movie would not rise above the silly fluff, but its success here is supportive of my notion. There is something attractive and almost seductive about the Japanese doing tango.
