Why are Japanese movies so poorly acted?

Why are Japanese movies so poorly acted?

Animation and voice acting is more their forte.

In order to convey emotion you require a soul

Because you're a retarded burger who doesn't understand subtlety.

Why is your life so utterly pointless?

They have no soul, which makes it hard for them to show emotions.

>Animation and voice acting is more their forte.
It's farte you pathetic racist male

There faces cannot emote on subtle levels, so they have to ham it up and overplay every reaction just to display a minimal amount of expression.

Japanese people are soulless

the actors want to rush home to watch loli porn

YAMEROOOOOOOOOOOOOo

*while taking animated dick in all her holes*

yeah truly genius

Them gooks know how to fry up a piece of chicken

those autistics do not even know how to act in real life.

It's chickene you beta cuckold

Well more just animation really...

so are Americans, it's just americans plaster retarded smiles on their faces and rant whilst Japanese have realistic sombre expressions and are quiet.

They aren't.

>Japanese """"""""""""""acting""""""""""""""
>Subtle
pick literally a single option and that's it.

no it's not. you're just a weeb pleb who doesn't watch real movies

>Why are Japanese movies so poorly acted?

Because

>In order to pretend to cry, you have to know how to cry
>In order to pretend to be angry, you have to know how to be angry
>In order to pretend to smile, you have to know how to smile

The Japanese live in such a repressive culture where any display of emotion is considered dishonorable and humiliating, the very idea of emoting is foreign to them. So when they have to pretend in a movie, they have no experience with it. They're like aliens trying to copy something they have no fundamental understanding of, which is why it always comes off as cartoonishly insincere.

t. Buttblasted nip

Sounds like you're talking about the actual Japanese citizens and not their acting.

because they're more closely influenced by stage drama which involves over the top acting to express emotions. so the cover story goes

Triggered gook detected

they're ok

They have the world's best animation industry.

Sup Forums is now so far gone that I can only assume this is a serious post.

But we're really good at animation too

>display of emotion is humiliating
That's why they're so loud and weird in their pornos?

>The Japanese live in such a repressive culture where any display of emotion is considered dishonorable and humiliating, the very idea of emoting is foreign to them.

Then they should stick to making movies about salarymen who lose a business deal, get given a window seat by their boss, cannot handle the dishonor to their ancestors, and hang themselves in Aokigahara.

Something tells me they'd be able to identify with that and express it sincerely.

That is because of the form of their drama schools, that are very focused on the theater play.
You might sometimes notice the distinction in the japanese video games with european protagonists, where they have all of those weird quirks, that looks more like bad voice acting. Devil May Cry 4 comes to mind.

if you remember all of those kung fu movies from the 80's, ever noticed how during a scene with multiple character interactions, they all stand next to each other in the line? That comes from the theater training.

nothing wrong with it, just another culture. it is why Jet Li returned to China.

Yeah this movie is so soulless and has no emotion amirite

But Tom cruise does it

No emotions

all the best people work in game show kino

They're very good at apologizing, though.

Maybe all their movies should be about people bowing to each other and begging for forgiveness for two hours.

Wew lad, I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you but Japan hasn't consistently made good movies in over 40 years.

The best art in the world came from japanese people rebelling at their repressive culture though.

Must be true because you read it on Sup Forums.

>The best art in the world
That might be a bit of a stretch.

I lived in Japan for 7 years.

If anything they lost their path and heritage like many old civilizations did before them.
Their existence ended when they took two nukes and surrendered to barbarians.

...

Seems like every person who doesn't know anything about what they're talking about says something like this now.

You know the Japanese literally ate POWs, right?

What...Anime? Anime looks good, buy it's complete shit. Dialogue is terrible. And I'm not reading subtitles for a goddamn cartoon where the visuals are supposed to be the main attraction

Im sure atrocities happened.
Remember that victors write the history books.

...

It's that guy from that Terra ForMars live action.

Look up unit 731

I know exactly what it is and what they did,even have seen the movie.
My point still stands,they are dead as a populous.

I didn't say you were lying, but the thing with you people is that you think living in or visiting Japan gives you perfect objective knowledge of everything pertaining to the country, despite people not having that kind of knowledge about even their own countries.

And it's obvious that you heard this from Sup Forums.

No.

Asians are insecure about their sameface as well as their faces not naturally being all that expressive. On top of that Japanese culture is emotionally restricted.

So when they act they over-compensate

Japanese VA is the same "I'M ACTING!!!!!" shit with a few different archetypes: average guy, evil guy, high-pitched moe girl, evil woman. It's all the same shit.

>you people is that you think living in or visiting Japan gives you perfect objective knowledge of everything pertaining to the country
As opposed to your japanese animes right?

Or maybe they just have a different culture and different ways of acting.

I didn't say anything about anime.

when he's on drugs

>Having experience doesn't mean you experience!

Wew lad. But I'm sure you're expert knowledge of anime has given you the clearest understanding of Japanese culture and history.

That's a big shrimp

They invented harsh noise, probably the most abrasive artistic expression there is which inspired many artists to use it in their music

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Being in Japan doesn't give you perfect objective knowledge of every conceivable aspect of the country. It just doesn't, and that's a fact.

I again said nothing about anime.

You need to take a break from the virtual world bud.

I said nothing about any virtual world.

yeah,I hope you sort your life out.

they are not

also dont forget that pretty much every good devices or instruments like synthesizer,DJ gears come from Japan excludnig Guitar

Your fantasies about my life are not relevant. You are just trying to change the subject.

Blame japanese theater traditions.

he's just your average mongrel Ameritard so stop arguing with him

I said nothing about any fantasies.

But you did.

What did he mean by this?
was it autism?

???

The problem isn't actors. The problem is actual directors who are too stupid to tell to actors to stop acting as in kabuki

And here comes the inevitable autism accusation that's a mandatory part of every Sup Forums thread now.

>"Japanese animation is next level bro"
>western cartoons that somewhat mimic the anime style such as Avatar and Voltron blow every anime ever made out of the water when it comes to animation quality

Full length animated Japanese films have really good animation though, but for anime 90% of the budget is spent on ~~KAWAII~~ idol voice actors and animators are getting paid scrap. I remember being like 10 and watching Pokémon 4ever and getting blown away by how much better the animation was than in the show

I don't know the cultural reasons, but Japanese actors have a really hard time being subtle when it comes to displaying emotions (especially with facial expressions). Comes off as straight-to-tv b movie acting for us Westerners. Maybe THEY perceive it as good actign though?

lol what a retard

I said nothing about what you think I did.

Although now that I think about it I guess it might be a bit disingenuous to refer to the animation as western since animation is outsourced to the based Koreans over at Studio Mir, but let's ignore that part

Maybe Japs are just autistic and can't comprehend sublety, thus the overacting?

>western cartoons that somewhat mimic the anime style such as Avatar and Voltron blow every anime ever made out of the water when it comes to animation quality
No they don't. This is the same old "more animation = better animation" misconception.

>or anime 90% of the budget is spent on ~~KAWAII~~ idol voice actors and animators are getting paid scrap.
Voice actors, even A-list ones, are cheap in Japan. American voice acting is much more expensive.

There was nothing retarded about what I said.

You're exaggerating it to the point where one would think the Japanese aren't even human after reading your post. I've lived there, it's just like any other culture.

Because Takeshi Kitano can only appear in so many movies.

I'm guessing it's a mixture of:

1) Cultural emotional differences. The way the west convey emotions are not the same the east does. Acting like how people do in Western films feels inauthentic and unnatural to Asian actors (and even some Northern European ones).

2) Extent to which the nation's (sometimes revised) cultural identity wants to assert itself. This happens for American films too, with the America FUCK YEAR, cocaine fueled military, American-is-predominantly-a-judeochristian-white-anglo-country-and-not-a-mixture-of-multiple-cultural-identities, 'muh stars and stripes', and land of freedum narrative that surfaces occasionally in movies like Transformers and most capeshit. In the east it has a more subduing effect with regards to its actors and encourages them to act more conservatively.

3) No (western) classical training for their actors/actresses. I doubt most of their actors have actually undergone formal acting training. You still see this discrepancy between British and American films though to a much smaller extent, with British actors being the best and second to none. American actors are usually one-note, they play only one role convincingly (usually a role similar to their own true personality) and that's it.

4) Different criteria and expectations for their celebrities. I think it's important to make the distinction between celebrities and actors, because a lot of the people in Asian films are actually just Asian celebrities taking acting roles. True Asian actors do exist, but the number of celebrities outnumber them in greater proportion than they do in the west. Asia doesn't care to make the distinction because their audiences want to watch beautiful people first and foremost. Ability to act is simply not a high priority. Western audiences are more forgiving on ugly people acting in dramatic roles (though not by much).

Hello, TMS Fag/Famicom.

I see you've spread your infection from Sup Forums to Sup Forums.

Since I post more on Sup Forums, please stay here.

Or maybe when they're being subtle, it's too subtle for you to perceive.

It's pretty obvious you've never seen Famicom post if you actually think that's him.

Your pathological inability to ignore any post accusing you of being TMS Fag/Famicom is the biggest giveaway that you are, in fact, TMS Fag/Famicom.

You cannot stop yourself.

Next you're going to tell me, "this has been deunked" then when called out on saying your catchphrase you'll insist "lots of people use that word" and then when called out on using that catchphrase you'll say "seek help" then when called out on using THAT catchphrase you'll circle back around to "that was not him" and the cycle will continue anew.

Without doing any research, Im gonna go ahead and venture a guess that Japan's autism rate is not significantly higher than other countries

Again, I don't know the cultural reasons but I think it has more to do with them being a more repressive society

Famicom always denies being himself, but he does it in a specific way that's always the same.

This must be the third time someone's accused me of being him even though I don't write like him and don't talk about any of the same things. A lot of people just have no idea who he actually is and just go around accusing anyone they don't like of being him.

Sure it's possible, I'm just going off the evidence I've seen first hand, which includes many examples of what I'd consider to be blatant overacting in Japanese high-budget live action films

It's possible that they're being too subtle for me but then you'd have to provide some examples for me to see and understand, otherwise that argument just exists in a vacuum

If you're sick of people accusing you of being TMS Fag/Famicom, a good way to void it is to stop replying to posts accusing you of being TMS Fag/Famicom.

Eventually people will notice you aren't replying and realize you aren't TMS Fag (since he is autistically incapable of ignoring posts that call him out).

I'm going to disregard everything else in this thread and say it's because of their traditions of stage acting.
The same way even in the west there's a big difference between stage and screen acting.
I'd also note that many other countries will seem more boisterous and hammy. Latin countries, the mediterranean etc.

I simply pointed out that the post you quoted is not him, because it obviously wasn't. The post was in fact so utterly generic that nothing at all can be deduced from it.

If you have no idea who Famicom is then maybe stop accusing people of being him.

You're doing it again, TMS Fag.

You have no idea who he is, you've just heard the name.

Thank (You) for your thoughtful, well detailed opinion, user.

>"The easiest way to tell when it's Famicom is that he cannot stop himself from denying accusations that he is Famicom and must reply to every post."
>"I WILL REPLY TO EVERY POST ACCUSING ME OF BEING FAMICOM AND THAT WILL PROVE ONCE AND FOR ALL THAT I AM NOT HIM!"

You make this too easy, Famicom.
