My mistake to watched this with higher expectation. The perspective of the documentary can be : A boy who wanted to prove his worth by his capability and not his background nor the people's acceptance, but eventually landed a similar fate with his father. A man who started from nothing (or really?) charmed his way up to be picked by Renault, subsequently got his head tangled in his own cloud nine and unfortunately mired in the melding political and business affair that was already a rickety alliance from the start.
This documentary did something like that but in touch n go method. Yes he's charming some people like him, then he did this then he said that. I get it, avoiding too much dwelling in his personality may be perceived as bias. Then elaborating from his perspective and actions as a CEO or culture clashes? He cut costs; shut down factory and terminated people. He didn't show up for important festival. He is a gaikokujin. Really? How about him going through all Nissan's financial paperwork and found that Nissan invested in many failing business, or appointing seniors based on seniority and not capability? I could go on but that's how a lot of wasted potential content for this documentary that could have not only appeal to the sarcastic bitter corporate rats but also to the layman.
