Since then, the NHK has struggled to keep the series relevant.<br /><br />NHK's production values during that era, with lighting, sets and costumes unworthy of 1960s American and European productions, make even the Date house saga almost unwatchable.<br /><br /><i>Atsuhime</i>, for all its faults, breathed new life into the genre. Production values have also improved.<br /><br />As for the collapse of Japanese cinema, all kinds of elements seem to have contributed. Film scholars are still unraveling the tangle.<br /> MTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626942240117432624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714063.post-91927559208148088922013-01-09T18:06:15.417+09:002013-01-09T18:06:15.417+09:00franchiseplaya -

These shows with subtitles are available where I live here in the states. I find the acting, writing, and directing atrocious. They are awful, awful, awful. :D<br /><br />The best parts tend to be the cg graphics during opening credits. I find some of them mesmerizing and beautiful.<br /><br />I caught parts of Kiyomori and Atsuhime while working on projects. I sometimes keep the tv on in the background and am more of a night person, which is when these shows air. I often felt embarrassed for what the actors were made to say and how they performed their lines.<br /><br />Maybe you can explain something. I have a large collection of DVDs of old mostly black and white Japanese films from the 50s-70s which I cherish. The only Japanese films and tv shows I have on DVD from the 80s on are almost all animes (I have dozens of animes but only 3 live action films from this period).<br /><br />Whatever happened to Japan's live action cinema and tv?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714063.post-558373706359726692013-01-09T11:04:17.948+09:002013-01-09T11:04:17.948+09:00franchiseplaya -
