Hello Everyone it’s William!
For this week and next week I will be teaching the Thursday night free talk!
For our classes today our topic was about movies! We started the conversation about the recent movie Don’t stop the camera. It’s a japanese movie that is known for being low budget and with unknown actors, but despite this fact it has seen great success in Japanese theaters.
Our conversation then moved on to Movie critics and criticizing movies. We talked about the cinematography of movies and how movies are an art form. They can be used as ‘popcorn movies’ where they are created to be enjoyed, think superhero movies and action films. And then there are thought provoking movies that make you ask questions of the story as you try to understand the plot.
We also had smaller conversations about godzilla, censorship in the Japan vs the US, and even the differences in movie ticket prices.
That’s all for tonight,
William
