Asian cinema is so superior they make western directors look like toddlers playing with a camera. Just compare the perfection of ABSD to the mediocrity of 400 Blows, or the blandness of Bergman to the stylishness of Wang Kar Wai. And let's not even bring Japan to the table, cause than it would be a massacre.

[Anonymous No.17113439]

Too bad Asians can't act for shit.
Japanese are the absolute worst, they aren't able to act human at all.

Which is kind of a shame considering US cinema is the most soulless kind of entertainment you could ever experience.
That said, wrong board

I lived in Japan and I can tell you with all certainty that Japanese people aren't human. They are weird, asocial and behave like insects. They also have a creepy worshipping-complex towards white people.

[Anonymous No.17113472]

Not really. There's like a few bits of gold in a sea of shit meanwhile gold isn't uncommon in the west. Mentioning Japan ousts you as a braindead weeb tho you might have a point if you said anyone else. Also why is this shit on lit?

>memed by Western acting practices
Do you mean good acting? ok weeb some people want some dynamism and not repeats of the same tiny set of voices, interactions, and characterisations.

Nta but I watched Rashomon yesterday and while entertaining, I couldn't take the acting seriously, especially Mifune, his constant forced laughter was ridiculous. Not even theatre actors overact as much. Pure caricature

Filtered. Kurosawa directed his actors after kabuki theatrics and silent film gestures to make it look more expressive. It's more interesting this way than it would be if acted "normally".

Kurosawa is good but he's like the only of them who could even stand next to western filmmakers.
And even then he's not as good as Orson Wells or that pedophile Jew whose still somehow free Roman Polański.
