What Train Man Is About
A twenty-three-year-old otaku who keeps to himself steps in when a drunk starts harassing a woman on a train. Afterwards he starts posting about it on the huge internet forum 2channel: she has sent him a Hermès tea set to say thank you, and on the board she stays Hermès from then on. Thousands of strangers begin telling him, step by step, what to do next. Shosuke Murakami's 2005 film comes from a forum story that is claimed to have really happened. What it is describing is less a romance than a community: lonely people finding each other courage through a screen. Takayuki Yamada and Miki Nakatani play it.
