>a short horror game, in first-person

>find something new to advance or die

The game was shit, and the movie is even more shit. If the protagonist died from drowning I could have forgiven the schmaltzy writing and weak plot, it would've been a much better movie about regret.

Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine

Can't wait for Scooby-doo toilet movie

>>719699705
Wow this is awful to look at

>>719698420 (OP)
how do you get into japanese films
the overracting and overexplaining is filtering me hard

>>719703625
Just go watch Harakiri (1962) and you'll get it.

>>719703625
do you like anime?
no?
then you have 0 chance of liking japanese films

>>719703795
I can't tell if that's an actual recommendation or if you're telling me to do that
I watched The Hidden Fortress and that was cool though

>>719698420 (OP)
>>719703625
japanese cannot act

>>719703625
So overexplaining isn’t just an anime thing?

>>719703625
for me, it's sion sono

>>719703625
Watch Tetsuo: the Iron Man from '89

>>719703952
it’s an autism thing

>>719703915
The only japanese who could actually act was Toshiro Mifune

>>719703952
It's a trannylation thing. Japanese is a language with very low context, which is why you can make comedy skits around one guy thinking his friend is a murderer and the other guy talking about swatting flies. If you imagine the "who's on first" sketch applied to every single aspect of life in Japan, you'd begin to have an understanding of how much is left out and requires clarification.

In English, the piece is first examined and all the clarification you need is added to the first line. This results in what feels like lots of meaningless padding to dialogue, because in English it's instantly spoiled.

>>719698420 (OP)
Honestly, I think it's a nice idea. The concept is surprisingly simple and solid.
As long as it's not some 2-3 hour movie, it has a very good chance of being a really good short form horror like picrel.

>>719698420 (OP)
I liked the porn version.

>>719704051
This is a good post and I would welcome further elaboration.
Does this also explain the trend of Japanese media expounding heavily on obvious concepts like "killing is bad", or is that a cultural rather than a language thing?

I get "killing is badong" vibe every time I see Japanese media

>>719699705
I saw the full video while I was on the toilet, after seeing this webm, and it was actually pretty good. Not bad.

>>719704051
Interesting, thanks anon.

>>719704257
Well, some of that is because the Japanese only partially have souls, so they need a logical underpinning to things like crime. It's genetic, rather than cultural.

>>719704570
Ah yes them teaching their children in media that having values is something that doesn't need to be contested is because they have no soul unlike the western child who truly understands everything perfectly and thats why he needs to be exposed to either tranny propaganda or how fast the belt must come off when dealing with things you don't like.Fuck off

>>719704841
I didn't say they didn't have souls, seanig. You probably don't though, depending on the favela.

>>719703625
"Overreaction" is just a clash of western and eastern cultures. Japanese people overreact in movies (and anime, reality TV, etc.) because they are very strict with their emotions most of their lives. It's a form of escapism from societal expectations and stress and goes back to the earliest japanese movies.
It does need the viewer to attune to its unique flow, but I don't think it should be as difficult as many people make it out to be so I guess it's just a cultural filter. It may require some additional patience from western viewers and I assume many are not willing to give that for a movie.

I would have recommended Hidden Fortress, as it's perhaps my favorite japanese movie of all time, but since in this reply chain someone already said they've seen it (who could have been you), I can recommend this picrel as another good entry into somewhat more modern japanese movies.

If you absolutely can't enjoy these (Hidden Fortress and Lonely Heart for example) then japanese media might not be for you and that's genuinely okay. Not every kind of movie is meant to be for everyone.

>>719704570
Makes sense, thanks.

>>719704257
"Killing is bad" in media is older than both of us. Ever heard of comic books? What a bizarre thing to point out.

>>719704953
Yeah that was me, I liked The Hidden Fortress. I guess I kinda subconsciously gave that a pass in terms of acting since it's an old movie in black and white compared to the Godzilla example I used, but there was plenty to like about the The Hidden Fortress anyway. I appreciate the recommendations along with everyone else's, I imagine the Kurosawa stuff is a no-brainer but I haven't gotten around to them yet besides this.

>>719703625
Sailor Suit and Machine Gun is pretty good

>>719705405
I see. Yeah, Kurosawa movies are a must see in the japanese movie industry, although not all of them are to my liking (I personally disliked Throne of Blood for example).

While we're on the topic of Godzilla, I heavily recommend Shin Godzilla (picrel). It's a present day societal commentary on what would the insanely circumstantial japanese government (bureaucracy) do if such an entity actually appeared in modern Tokyo.
I think it's an extremely good movie about modern japanese governments as a whole and it somewhat dials back the overexplanation a bit. If someone is interested in modern japanese life, then I can also easily recommend this movie.
