Eric Khoo's Mee Pok Man started films in Singapore. It was entered into the 19th Moscow International Film Festival
1996 Mee Pok Man
I kind of like the plot. It's weird, interesting and funny. If you see someone get hit by a c ar, one would call for help right or bring it to the hospital and not bring it to your house. The quick cuts of the boobies were dumbfounding. All of a sudden boobies appeared. LOL Over all I really like the movie. It is the style of film I like weird, funny but interesting
Cinema of China The Beginning Motion pictures were introduced to China in 1896. For the next decades, production houses were owned by foreigners.
Golden Age Film still developed after 1945. I really don't know much about Chinese Movies and stuffs. However I watched this Chinese drama called My bratty princess/ Mischievous Princess 刁蠻公主 I first watched it when I was young on TV. Though I rarely watch historical dramas because i find it boring, Mischievous Princess is a really funny drama. I also like the clothes both the design and color. Historical theme films and drama clothes are really nice. My bratty princess/ Mischievous Princess 刁蠻公主
Critics from Cahiers du cinema such Claude Chabrol,François Truffaut, Éric Rohmer, Jacques Rivette and Jean-Luc Godard (their films are bold, experimented with techniques) are major figures of this era The ones who played a main role in the new cinematic approach were film geeks who exploded in the film scene in the late 1950s by using philosophical trends. They broke through the limitations of cinema where they used other methods of editing and shooting.
François Truffaut
someone who is fond of Cinema, who was greatly influenced by hollywood film. he worked as a film critic before becoming a filmmaker
Because of this French New wave, a new concept was popularised which is also called auteur theory which means that the director is the author of his own movie with his own signature or style. It is a low budget film, casts are sometimes the director's cousin, brother or any relative.
Things that i learned from the previous sen regarding french new wave, jump cuts. Though i still don't know when and how to use jump cuts.LOL also long tracking shots which i don't like coz it's draggy though if it has lines, i don't mind looking at it for one whole minute because lines are pretty.
My though on Breathless:
It's an amazing film because without it there won't be french new wave movement. i like the contrast between characters as well one is a sex obsessed gangster and the other one is a student who wants to stay free. It's amazing how this film didnt care about the limitations and rules of filmmaking without the problems of plots
I haven't really watch that much Japanese movies except for those Japanese drama which released a movie like hana york dingo. I think that's the only Japanese movie i have watched in the past.
Golden Age
The Golden Age
The first film with sound in Japan wasHeinosuke Gosho's (1901 - 1981) Madamu to nyobo ( The Neighbor's Wife and Mine )
The major studios Shochiku, Nikkatsu and Toho relied on stars and directors who are famous and well known like the Hollywood Golden age
Some popular actors
Kazuo Hasegawa (1908–1984) --- would make over three hundred films over the course of his career)
Takako Irie (1911–1995)
Setsuko Hara (b. 1920)
child superstar Hideko Takamine

Death of Japanese Cinema
There was a decline in major films studios which made way for the anime to rise. SADDDDD
Second Golden age
movies based on Japanese drama rose again.Yeay I love Japanese drama as well.
The only Japanese movie I watched, Hana yori dango Final LOLOL
It was heartbreaking watching this. maybe because of the word final. just thinking about it like it's the last last part, I don't know why but i feel sad. Like almost a part of me will be gone which is kind of true since i watch it everyday on tv and it became a part of my daily routine.
YEAY finally Korean Cinema the one lesson i have been waiting for since day 1. i like Korean cinema because not only it is filled with good-looking actors and idols, the colours, the view is fantastic. Those pastel coloured tone (mostly in mv) is really pretty.
from girls' generation lion heart. It's a Mv but the colour is just so pretty so i just wanted to show it
Golden Age
1950s -1960s
Golden age is the time where koreans
South Korean films enjoyed a "Golden age" during the late 1950s, and 1960s, but by the 1970s had become generally considered to be of low quality. Nonetheless, by 2005 South Korea had become one of few nations to watch more domestic than imported films in theatres[5] due largely to laws placing limits on the number of foreign films able to be shown per theatre per year.[6] In the theaters, Korean films must be played for 73 days per year since 2006. On cable TV 25% domestic film quota will be reduced to 20% after KOR-US FTA.[7]
1997 till now is still considered "golden age" since Korea is one of the top asian powerhouse that produces films not only in Korea but other countries as well. One thing that shocked me was that a Korean film surpassed Titanic. The film Shiri broke korean history by selling more than 2 million tickets only in seoul alone which surpassed titanic, star wars and Matrix.
In class, Il mare was shown
Il Mare It was a pretty movie, with the pretty scenery and the silhouette of the guy looking at the letter near the sea which is so dramatic. Jun ji hyun is also there, who i think is one of the funniest actresses in korea.
My sassy girl
My first ever korean film that I watched. I usually watch Korean dramas when i was in primary school (yes i watch those romantic comedy Korean dramas like full house and even historical dramas like jewel in the palace) Anyway it was a funny movie though the only thing i can remember is the part where Jun ji hyun (how come she doesn't have a name?) puked on the guy. I hate that scene i feel like puking as well whenever i look at the noodles. It's so disgusting.
Some famous movies and some movies i like
2007 Miracle in Cell Number 7
I just got shocked by this. All of a sudden those that doesn't like korean movies started watching this. They even watched it before me. It was a sad sad movie
Twenty
A movie recommended by Hazel. A nice movie with nice visuals though i still can't imagine them saying those "WORDS" again since they usually play those innocent or playboy but kind, kind of role in korean dramas. Hearing Kim woo bin saying "THAT in the ass thing" is too much (sorry i just can't say it.) BUT over all it was a nice and funny drama especially kim woo bin is there.
