Tokyo Drift... More Than Just Cars Going Sideways?

Okay, so I just rewatched Tokyo Drift, and I have a theory brewing. We all know it's kinda the black sheep of the Fast & Furious family, right? Lucas Black's acting is…well, it's Lucas Black doing his thing, lol. But stick with me! I think it's actually a sneaky character study disguised as a car movie. Hear me out: Sean Boswell isn't just a reckless teenager; he's a kid desperately trying to find a place where he belongs. He keeps getting kicked out, right? So, he's searching for some kind of connection, a tribe. And he finds it not necessarily in drifting itself, but in the community of drivers in Tokyo. Think about the scene where Han explains the philosophy behind drifting – it's all about control, finesse, discipline. It's like Sean's finally finding structure, something he desperately needs. The cars are just the background. And what about the 'villain', DK? He's not some mustache-twirling evil guy, he's just protecting his territory, his family (literally, considering his uncle). He's stuck in a situation he didn't create, just like Sean. I find that way more compelling than a lot of the later movies where the bad guys are just... generically evil. Maybe that's why I've always had a soft spot for it, even if the dialogue makes me cringe sometimes. What do you guys think? Am I reaching, or is there something to this 'hidden depth' theory I've got going on?
