>> No.24993420

>>24993131
Wood Job is incredible, way better than Flying Colors which I didn't like. From the same director you have Dance With Me and Swing Girls too, both great feel good movies.

My problem with Flying Colors is that ultimately it's like a middle age conservative japanese man wet dream in which a young girl slowly reverts back to being "normal" and joins the ranks of being a pretty and serviceable young lady. As she progresses through the movie she's losing what makes her stand out to fit some kind of standards of society that old japanese folks just love. In other words, it's kind of a boomer fantasy.

If you're into that sure. For me seeing Kasumi Arimura gradually go from the picture posted above to generic school girl number 253640 was really painful, especially with the movie unironically praising those changes.

If she did work hard and got good grades while still preserving what makes her different, I think it would have been a more beautiful message.

That's pretty funny I didn't really see it that way. I just thought of it as someone with a really good support system in their life getting back on track before adulthood smacked them in the face. But now that I read what you said it's sort of in my face how she became brown haired testing bot #23145 like you said. Japanese boomer fantasy is the best way to phrase it. Well at least I have Wood Job coming up. I'll also check out the other 2 films he did if I like it.

Dying your hair a different color and speaking differently doesn't equal to a personality and is in fact a facade. She didn't lose anything but actually gained something important, there's a lot of happiness to be had working hard at something and achieving your goals. The fact that you mentioned "boomer conservatives" makes me think you're still kinda young and haven't made enough mistakes to realize this. Young people look at unhappy people, not just adults, and see that "they're all the same " and "conform" to society. These are just superficial observations, the same ones that make you think Arimura's character was interesting before her change. Some of those people are unhappy despite trying to conform while others are happy living their life not trying to hide behind a facade. I rambled a bit in the end so I hope I got through to people. Really, it's gaijin bias to perceive the movie the way you did.

The real faults of the movie were the bad acting and straightforward if not generic plotline.

It's kinda hard to get actual evidence on this but I'll go with what I know off hand.
First, licensing J-dramas overseas is a nightmare, mainly due to different contracts the actors have with their agencies. Royalties vary wildly between actors along with weird stipulations, KimuTaku used to not get any of his shit brought to western markets due to a clause preventing his voice getting dubbed over.
Second, Japan tends to overvalue their own pop culture and expects big money in return for their media. They still have this idea that it's the 90s and people are willing to pay top dollar for their garbage. This point has been changing over this past decade due to streaming but they still hold their properties on a pedestal. "Oh, THIS streaming site isn't that big, we want a BIG TIME site like disney."
Third, they just view overseas markets a gigantic hassle and not worth it. Even if they compromise on prices and royalties, any money made is meager in comparison and only serves to benefit the streaming services that put it up, not the ip holders. They can't get good deals on this stuff because at this point in time, there really isn't interest in J-dramas and the push it needed to become popular is a time long gone now. It doesn't help that Japan is VERY different culturally and insists on bizarre colloquialisms (filming in 29.9 fps as opposed to the film look of 23.975, theater acting instead of method acting). Foreigners just get turned off at first glance. It's why Japanese film tends to do fine since people expect weird things from foreign filmmaking but not standard tv shows/soap operas.

Gotta be honest I got filtered hard by this movie. I understood most of the character motivations but Ken, Michiko, and Midori kinda flew over my head. I'm not really sure if the "suicide" if it was one was supposed to be funny but I ended up laughing at the absurdity of it. Ken chasing Michiko also confused the shit out of me then they act like it never happened. Also him putting the acid down her back that didn't make sense either. I honestly was baffled by a lot of the character actions. If I'm completely honest I'm not even sure what the tone of this movie is supposed to be. I found myself laughing more than anything at some of the scenes. But the cinematography was good. Pretty movie.

I've seen it twice and both times I was disappointed. Yeah the dance scene at the end is good and what most people remember, but the character motivations and the way they interact with each other is pretty weak. So many things happen that are never adressed and although the movie is pretty long you barely know the characters.

I really wanted to like it mostly because of that great typhoon scene but it's just not that good I think.

Most of them don't actually know any Japanese, which is why the only TV they can critique is aimed at housewives, with lots of colorful pictures of things to help them figure out what the show is about. Late night shows use complicated words and have bits where people talk instead of just flashing up images of food on the screen.

I don't know what 'poos' are, but Bollywood is huge on a worldwide scale, and not just with South Asian emigrants. A good few titles have done well in Japan - maybe partially due to the acting style and the fact that both countries' entertainment industries supposedly have particular links with organised crime, lmao...

Bollywood is highly overrated. It seems like white people really want everyone to like it to show how woke and virtuous they are.

From what I've seen anime live actions of the popular stuff like gintama, ass class, Tokyo ghoul etc are meh at best. Even if they're good the manga and anime are often better for obvious reasons. Even a decent live action doesn't add much and a lot of times are just the anime but with real people. Live actions work better with material that doesn't need CG or have fights/powers/power levels like romance, comedy just shit that's about human relationships/hardships etc.

>> No.25274517

It's really subjective. I was like every other /a/utist a year ago; live action adaptations are shit by default with no exceptions. But after getting into Takashi Miike films I stumbled upon Mugen no Jūnin and I loved it. Same with BLEACH, which I watched shortly after, and unlike the former movie I was very familiar with the source material and anime, but it was excellent. What I'm trying to say is do your research, pick one that looks good and don't expect it to match the anime/manga shot for shot. You might not love them but you'll probably enjoy them nonetheless, and if you're lucky enough you might find one that's better than the anime, like Rurouni Kenshin and Tokyo Ghoul were for me (not that beating the anime in quality and being more in-tune tonally with the manga was much of an achievement for the later)

>> No.25274788

You will probably like them if you casually like watching doramas. These movies are mainstream productions after all. I watch them because they have some specific actor I would like to see or the story seems interesting for me. I rarely watch anime of manga anymore, so I don't care if a movie was adapted from x or y.
