【海外映画の中の日本】海外映画は、日本をどう描いてきたのか ― スクリーンに映った“もう一つの日本史”

We think we know about Japan. However, the Japan portrayed in foreign films is completely different from the Japan we imagine. A country of kimonos. A tragic woman. Japan as an enemy nation. An economic monster. Tokyo of neon and the yakuza. And a place where someone lives quietly. Foreign films have portrayed completely different Japans in each era. Rather than reflecting Japan itself, they portray the unconscious of how the world viewed Japan. In this video, we look at films ranging from "Madame Butterfly" and "The Cheat," "Tora! Tora! Tora!," "Hiroshima Mon Amour," "Letters from Iwo Jima," "Fist of Fury," "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence," "Gung Ho," "Black Rain," "Kill Bill," and even "Perfect Days." How have foreign films viewed Japan? We will interpret the film from the perspectives of film history, Showa era films, war films, and cultural history.
