***I agree that corporatism is one of the ills of mainstream American filmmaking. But I think the constant progression
toward very basic, unsubtle, overly simplified films is also a function of US popular culture.

It looks like Oshima was doing to the Japanese public what Pasolini was doing to the Italians... shock, and if they complain - shock them more.
But I don't think the Realm has risen even close to the level of the best Pasolini works.

Hello Victor,
Re the quote...just to clarify: I did not mean it in the popular usage of the term 'pop culture', but rather
literally as the more prevalent culture. No elitist nose-raising was implied.
