Product Description

You need Blu-Ray DVD player to view this Blu-Ray DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Dolby TrueHD ), Dutch ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Abby, four years out of college, an aimless child of privilege, comes to Tokyo to be with her boyfriend, who promptly leaves for Osaka. She wants to stay in Tokyo in hopes he'll come back to her, but she's miserable: she speaks little Japanese and has a dull job as a law-firm gopher. She stumbles into the neighborhood ramen shop operated by the aging master chef Maezumi and his wife Reiko. His soup cheers Abby, so she decides to apprentice herself to him. He's uninterested, she's insistent, so he shouts at her and gives her all the cleaning to do. Weeks go by; she's persistent. Will he ever actually teach her to cook? And if he does, will she bring the requisite spirit to the job? ...The Ramen Girl (2008) ( Râmengâlu )

THIS FILM WILL TOUCH SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE OF YOU
5 Stars
THIS FILM WILL TOUCH SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE OF YOU
And for the disgusteeng PORNS out there no I didn't mean THAT.Like a dileegish bowl of ramen, Robert Allan Ackerman's masterpiece will encompass you in steam and leave you warm and slightly damp. No wonder this was the last film he ever directed! Once you've reached perfection, there is no use in continuing. In fact, I wonder if he died. Brittany Murphy's performance was 80% perfect 10% perfect and 10% PERFECT. I've never seen anyone grip a cigarette like that, such grace and disregard. She was on the bring of tears for most of the film, which made my cat and I also shed some salty wet ones. One more time for the porns in the back, NOT THAT. The Japanese was authentic and the male lead has wonderful hair. 10 out of 5 stars.

This was the 3rd movie in my watchlist, the first two I ended within the first five minutes because they had too much fantasy or not enough reality. Lo and behold, Ramen Girl movie is about a quest for something real too! I am glad to have found and watched this fine movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brittany Murphy's BEST Role
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2017
Verified Purchase
Easily Brittany Murphy's best role in her short life! A somewhat self-absorbed, spoiled and very entitled American girl is living in Tokyo with her boyfriend who has decided she is more of a liability than anything else when it comes to his ability to being able to pack his whole life into a single suitcase and go where the wind may take him.

Suddenly alone in this foreign land making her living as a proofreader of English in the corporate world, she longs for something more meaningful, something for which she can develop a passion, something into which she can pour herself and her love!

Late one night, lonely, sad and full of self-pity, she is drawn to the light coming from a single business still open in her neighborhood, a very modest, very simple Ramen shop that somehow beckons her to come inside. Where she is curtly told in a tongue she cannot understand, "CLOSED! GO HOME" and having no comprehension of what was just said, instead of leaving, she sits down and cries--Equally unaware of what she is saying to them, the owners of the Ramen shop try to figure out what is going on, why she is there, and more importantly, how to GET RID OF HER!

And get rid of her they do.....but not for long. No, She has found her calling, against hundreds of years of tradition and culture, she has decided that she must become a Ramen Chef (an honor unimaginable to most Japanese women) and--without really consulting them, she decided that they--the owners of the shop, who do not speak any more English than she does Japanese, they will be her teachers, her mentors, her sponsors in this new passion to become a Ramen Chef...in movie that will have you tearing up one minute and then laughing out loud and the hijinx so typical of Brittany Murphy.

I HIGHLY recommend this movie!

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent cheesy movie
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2024

Audio and video are good. Only comes with Dutch subtitles. If you don't know Japanese (or Dutch), you'll miss out on a large portion of the movie. Always hit and miss with European versions as it pertains to included subtitles. Movie plot is outrageously ridiculous, but otherwise enjoyable. A better ramen film would be Tampopo (serious) or God Of Cookery (martials arts and comedy).

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Japanese language learners, half in Japanese & English movie
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2022
Verified Purchase
My favorite movie. I have loved this movie since a friend introduced it to me. It's kind of a stupid love comedy, yet I recommend it for Japanese language learners. The Japanese actors are from Japan, and some quite famous. I wish more western movies actually used known actors from Japan as they did here. They each did their own style of acting which was done in a very tasteful way. It's funny and unique.

Aside from some swearing and a questionable scene, it is almost clean. I think they edited some words and scene to be more clean too.

I don't recommend the deleted scenes at all. They were right in not putting them in the movie at all and would have ruined the story and completely would have changed the vibe of the movie into a more scary unrealistic view of Japan. I've been in Japanese culture more than half my life and live in Tokyo, so I can rightfully say that. Just watch it the way it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Heartwarming Definite Much Watch
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2020
Verified Purchase
The Ramen Girl is a beautiful movie. Heartwarming. Brittany Murphy does such a wonderful job portraying a lost, heartsick girl stuck in a strange land who becomes the definition of determination. A definite much watch.

The only complain I have is that Abby becomes immersed in Tokyo culture but apparently never learns Japanese.
As she digs out of her predicament, she should have become proficient in speaking the language. I find it a weird oversight.

I was a huge fan of Brittany Murphy and was sad when she died so young. Word when it happened was "usual Hollywood drug overdose." The internet now says that it was an infestation of deadly mold in her house that killed her. Her husband died not too long after her of the same thing. What a sad story. At least it wasn't suicide like I originally thought.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Quiet Gem Of A Movie
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2021

Possible spoilers alert!

Murphy shines as Abby, the lost, heartbroken, stranger in a strange land. Her chemistry with Shineda as her Sensei was beautiful.

People complaining that Abby's inability to speak Japanese is missing the point. It's not her lack of understanding the language. Despite the language barrier, she managed to perfect the *technique* of cooking ramen. What she lacked, was the understanding that, in cooking, as in life, you must put your heart/spirit into it. That's the missing ingredient. Without the spirit, you're just going through the motions.

Not a "deep" movie, but satisfying, nonetheless. East, meets West, in this quiet movie about culture clashes, where the heart is the bridge. Will watch again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ramen Girl!
Reviewed in Canada on July 24, 2018

Brittanny Murphy plays a wonderful fish out of water. She is in Japan, left standing as her boyfriend goes off for a job in a different city. She doesn't speak very much Japanese and has a dead end job in a Japanese office. She sees a ramen, noodle shop near her apartment and decides to get a job. The owners, a very tyrannical shop owner but a sympathetic wife give her a job cleaning up, loved the scene where she cleans toilet. The asides in Japanese from the owner are very funny and humorous. There is a side concerning a friend who is a hostess and gets herself in trouble with the Japanese mafia. Also recommended is Tampopo and East Side Sushi, a story of a Hispanic lady who aspires to become a sushi master. To see a master sushi maker purchase Jiro loves Sushi, an elder sushi master who owns a small sushi restaurant. Loved the movie and recommend it to everyone.

The story reminds the japanese film by Itami "Tampopo" . Some of the actors appear in both films. It is a perfect rendition of the contrast between western and eastern cultural reactions. I advise to see both of them
