Japanese Acting

[kakoi_sugoi_yama]

I can agree with you a little bit about some of the more recent things, but to say that all Japanese acting sucks is definitely stretching it. Almost all of Kurosawa's films have quite believable characters and the acting is top notch. I've seen my share of the good and the bad, and like any country on the planet, the bad far outweighs the good.



It really seems that the more fantastic the story is (in a Japanese movie) the more unbelievable the acting becomes. They have a tendency to over act a scene, as if they were on the radio.

But, to think that American acting is any better is a very big mistake.
