    Here in Japan, there a vanishing traditional theater style called “Bunraku” consisting of puppeteers in drab grey attire manipulating half-sized dolls, designed and costumed in exquisite detail. The skill and clothing of the puppeteers, four to a puppet, cause them to vanish into the background, and the play seems to be acted by the dolls themselves. It is a beautiful thing to watch.

    This film depicts “Bunraku meets ping-pong”. Maybe this is how the old art will be revived, or at least past on to the next generation.

    Ingenious! Bunraku is beautiful, but I prefer traditional to this. This is a great parody and done amazignly well.

    The guys wearing black reminded me more of Noh than Bunraku, but I think that’s merely a concept engrained in Japanese art that was borrowed as opposed to trying to imitate or parody any particular theatrical style.

    Pretty funny though.

    (Yeesh, how many of these comment boards are going to go into discussions of Japanese culture? I suppose I’m partially to blame)

    I’d love to comment on whether it reminds me more of Noh or Bunraku, but I can’t get the bloody thing to load. Anyone here have enough technical savvy to tell me which program’s plug-in is playing the video?

    On my PC, it loads automatically with Windows Media Player.
    (By the way, “you’re welcome” about the language discussion on the “Patriotism” post).
