Actually, I adore some old Japanese movies, like Rashomon or Seven Samurai. And I adore Mifune.

Japanese movies are EXCELLENT!

The cinematography (the looks) are above most countries. My Favorite Japanese movie was RAN.

The only thing I don't like about Japanese Manga movies (anime) are that they don't show enough different races. Only Asian and European, as if there are no other races. This should be changed.

I watched Last Samurai to see Tom Cruise like most japanese girls.
But in the movie Mr. sanada was great, because he showed the Japanese easthetic prfectly. A men doesn't need a good looking face(but he is good looking ), but only needs the Samurai soul.
I want to write about Japan as Japanese, but I wrote about only Mr. Sanada

I'd have to say a lot of Westerners are completely infatuated with Japan. This makes me recall an American animation called: "The Simpsons" (I actually believe that for some reason The Simpsons were used for advertising for a Japanese drink called "C.C. Lemon") But the show is about a family, and one episode they go to Japan, and eventually the father and the son of the family end up in prison, and the mother has to bail them out. And this was some of Homer's dialogue after being bailed: "Oh, I'm sick of doing Japanese stuff! In jail we had to be in this dumb kabuki play about the 47 Ronin, and I wanted to be Oshi, but they made me Ori" The Simpsons is a hilarious show that's been running for I believe 14 years. It's a great show that I've been watching since I was a kid. Aggh, all this Simpsons talk is making me have to use more Homer quotes! Enjoy
