but it seems like such an obvious fact, so much so, that even the Oscar people blew it during the broadcast. The t.v. voice-over claimed it as Japanese while they were presenting the screen play award.
Follow Ups:
...humble.I didn't warch the Oscars presentation. So they acknowledged the original in their praise for the remake? Have you seen the "sequels" referred to in a thread above?
You seem pretty handy around Oriental film. Any overlooked gems to recommended?
Tsui Hark and Wong Jing, both from HK.There is a great film you may have missed by Japaene director Kaneto Shindō, called Onibaba (1964). I don't visit this board enough to know how popular it is.
I also like OZU films and the insanity of Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer, Audition).
By the way, a few years back the term "Oriental" was replaced by "Asian".
....Ozu IS JAPANESE!!!!!! LOL!!
...I'm familiar with. I'll look into the others. Thanks.Who replaced "Oriental" with "Asian" Why?
I sincerely appreciate your looking out for my manners but Oriental has been a good word for centuries. I stiffen at PC language. I'll take your word for there being a better reason, if you can just clue me in.
Negro was once used wdely, today it is appropriate to use either Black or AA.
Asian?
no.
