Also, it's a love story between a grown woman and an underage boy, which is not only weird but illegal. But aside from that, nice costumes and music. 6/10.

Actors. You're thinking of actors acting in a movie.

You mean the ignorant white guy talking to his Japanese wife who was viewed by the characters of the film as a racist moron? Here's some other movies with racist characters...
American History X
Django Unchained
Roots
12 Years a Slave
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
In the Heat of the Night
Gran Torino
White Men Can't Jump
Do the Right Thing

I'll agree it was definitely a bit weird at the end. I didn't like the ending, actually. To be fair, she spent the entire movie repelling his advances.
