1. Battle Royale
The title and plot of this movie already makes the movie seem exciting. If the title of the movie doesn’t already give it away, the movie is about a battle royale. 42 9th graders are sent to a deserted island and are given weapons and food. Each student has a collar around their neck and if they break a rule, the collar will explode. They are supposed to kill each other and the last one standing is allowed to leave the island. There must be one survivor or they will all die. Basically the Japanese version of hunger games; if you enjoyed hunger games, this may be the movie for you. Intense and action packed movie!

4. Akira
This film is a classic Japanese animated movie from 1988. To switch it up we added animated films to the list and Akira has to be the top one on our list for action animes. This film might not be for everyone due to the sci-fi nature of the film. It’s definitely worth checking out even though it may not be your cup of tea. 31 years later, this film is still considered a masterpiece to a lot of movie fans.

This movie is based off the animated series from 1998. Another Japanese animated film in our list. Plot takes place in the future 2071 where bounty hunters also known as cowboys chase criminals and bring them in for a reward. The main character and his crew and takes on bounty hunter jobs for a living. Another cool factor of the movie is that they work of their spaceship! Even though this is an animated film, don’t let that fool you. This movie is rated R, so there’s a lot of action and bloody violence.

ReplyDeleteIn the movie in Japan has concentrated on the dying for: beauty of things and cruel destroy beauty and romantic fallen beauty, death ceremony beauty.
ReplyDeleteI like to watch films, enjoy music and watch Japanese Cartoons.
ReplyDeleteThis is one example of the ambiguity or 'flexibility' of role-assignments which are quite commonly accepted in the Japanese filming industry.

ReplyDeleteAs an important part of Japanese culture, Japanese films inevitably embodied the aesthetic consciousness.
