Feature of Japanese movies and American movies

 Today, there are more than 650 cinemas in Japan. This shows that more Japanese watch movies, and like them. There are Japanese movies and American movies in Japan. They have different feature. These features are following. First, American movies, especially Holly wood movies, is supposed to give viewer more dynamic and powerful impression, such as The Terminator, Rocky and Spider-Man. The story of American movies is very simple in common. On the other hand, Japanese movies have visual clarity, such as Departures, Princess Mononoke and Twilight Samurai, but these Japanese movies are not so dynamic and powerful.

Second, I explain bad point of movies of two countries. American movies is more violence and sexual than Japanese movies. Some people say that this feature of American movies gives bad effect to children. In fact, there are dates that more children become violent after watching American violence movies. We can point out that this feature is bad point of American movies. Meanwhile, bad point of Japanese movies is the monotonous of the story. Of course, there are some Japanese movies which story is so sophisticated and lyric, but it is generally said that the story of Japanese movies is tedious. Though some may criticize this opinion about Japanese movies, but I think that this feature is one of bad points.

 Third, I explain film genre. The number of S.F. genre movies in America is higher than in Japan. The representatives of them are Star Wars, Alien and War of the world. Most these S.F. movies use Computer Graphics. Thus, American movies use Computer Graphics than Japanese movies. This is one of the features of American movies. In contrast, the more popular genre of Japanese movies are human-drama and historical story, such as Seven Samurai, Poppoya and Crying out love, in the center of the world. These features show that American movies are unrealistic but Japanese movies are realistic.

 In my opinion, we can find that the difference of features reflects national character of two countries. On the other words, I mean that American is more powerful and aggressive, and Japanese is quiet and realistic. However, it is naturally that there is difference between American movies and Japanese movies because there is cultural difference.
