WEEK 10

Japanese Cinema

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.
