i'm an American that has been residing in Japan for over 15 years. and that i'd recommend right here video clips: Mr. Baseball Gung Ho Karate youngster I, II those video clips have an American slant, yet they're loaded with gemstones of reality. in case you may get a sub-titled version of the eastern version of lets Dance? This movie shows genuine middle classification eastern existence, and the rigidity and rigidity placed upon the eastern male. in case you'll nicely be somewhat better particular as to what type of options you want, then i'd nicely be better powerful.

I looved the Last Samurai. Not very close from Lost in Translation, but it shows some of the most seductive things linked to Japan, such as the Bushido.
Great set up as well.

What do you mean by "about Japan?" That is kind of a broad statement. I am not sure I know what you mean. "Lost in Translation" takes place in Japan, but I wouldn't describe it as being "about" Japan.
If you are looking for good Japanese movies, though, I would suggest anything by Akira Kurosawa. I also really like "Sonatine" and "Spirited Away." That said, they are very different than "Lost in Translation," which is a unique movie and hard to duplicate. For one thing, "Lost" is an American movie, not a Japanese one. It is one person's, Sophia Coppola, vision of Japan. There really isn't much out there like it.

Spirited Away or Memoirs of A Geisha? I'd preffer Spirited Away much over Memoirs of a Geisha

"Fear and Trembling" is a great film about the average office workers' life in Japan. Based on Belgian author Amelie Nothomb's novel it is based on her real life experience working as a translator in Japan. It especially gives you a realistic account of how foreign workers are viewed in the Japanese workplace.

Well I liked the Last Samuri but it is not really similar to Lost in Translation.
