films showing language/culture
[cross-posting from H-Japan] ...the Itami Juzo film "Minbo" for its depiction of sarariman.
His "Tampopo" is good for images of small business and of food culture. It also has great use of language, from that used by a pedantic academic (is there any other sort?) to the rich, women, blue-collar workers and so on. Students who are told to listen for it can pick out some of the variation, even if they have never studied Japanese. Both films have enough slapstick and other visuals to
do a reasonable job of holding the attention of students who find subtitles tedious.
