Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

alsation72 I find this quite engaging and interesting ... but fair go what an arrogant old codger!He seems to surround himself with cronies, but I would have liked a more detailed account of his inventions. In this respect the documentary failed.When he sings for the camera/crowd (a rousing song about being on time) I cringed. This guy cannot get enough attention and its starting to annoy me.He loves getting recognized and seems to love any camera nearby, but as I watch I start to wonder what he has invented lately that was of great importance? The guy is no Steve Jobs. Recent inventions include a breast-enhancing bra and a genital spray for women. Classy. Not a dirty old man at all!

Mr Reposter I have to totally disagree with paul2001sw-1 about this movie. The protagonist of this documentary is well-known as a self-promoting "inventor" who claims to have created a plethora of everyday devices including the floppy disk (it was actually invented by IBM). He makes NUMEROUS claims in the movie which can be independently verified to be lies. I will not detail them here (as this is a movie review) but suffice it to say you would be wise to Wikipedia a person before writing a review of a movie based on them.The movie: The people who made this movie clearly know what they are doing. By filming often and by letting the characters fill the silence they have managed to lull their subject into a sense that the movie is being made *because* of his greatness. However, through clever editing of a rich collection of source material, a more honest picture of this shameless self-promoter comes to light. His delusions of grandeur are perhaps what has made him his fortunes, but those delusions have created a man who is so disconnected from reality that you start to feel sorry for him - especially during the scene where his family give him a birthday present, after which he demands the director shoot another take because the first one wasn't to his liking. Thankfully the director has included BOTH takes.Most definitely an interesting man and interesting subject matter, but not one who deserves to be taken seriously after making so many preposterous false claims. I cannot recommend this documentary enough and suggest that you find the time to watch it.

paul2001sw-1 Dr. Nakamatsu is an elderly, eccentric, egotistical Japanese inventor; although his egoism is filtered though a modest demeanour. He is apparently responsible for a staggering range of inventions, including the floppy disc, although the one's we see in this film following him for a period of his life seem mostly bizarre - an engine that allegedly runs on water, a mysterious sex-aid, a push-up bra. He believes he will live till 140; and the problem with this film is that it makes it easy to dismiss the man as a crank. Indeed, one might even wonder if the protagonist is playing up to the camera at times. What one might have liked to have seen was some explanation of the thought process behind his more successful inventions - instead, we get the process of how he comes to think of ideas (starving his brain of oxygen, supposedly) - but none of the actual reasoning. By focusing on the quirkiness of the doctor, the film fails to convey his genius - and I was even tempted, at times, to wonder if the whole film was not a kind of low-key spoof. Assuming it isn't, there's some interest here; but less than if it had taken its subject more seriously.
