Korean western front-runner at Asian Film Awards

I still haven't seen Ponyo. Anyone think much of it?

I like how many of these movies are about Nationality A going to Nation B.

Indian cook who travels to China.

Indian villager who travels to Australia

Koreans in Manchuria during Japanese occupation,

Japan-Netherlands-Hong Kong drama “Tokyo Sonata;”

Shows abit of openness to the term Asian film, don't ya think?

So where's the "western"?
