Chris--I think you''re right about the portrayal of Japanese in American
films and TV. I've observed that even in purportedly "enlightened" television
shows like "thirtysomething" and """Twin Peaks,"" Japanese characters are
portrayed either as buffoons or evil manipulators. (Not to mention books like
Rising Sun, and all the paperback thrillers about corporate ninja, etc.)
However, my experience in Japan was that Japanese film and TV bow to no one
in their racist portrayals of foreigners. One good example would be the
segment of Morita's "Bakayaro" about the salaryman who's being transferred to
the US. I'm sure other people on the list will have thoughts on this. Good
luck.

Not a flame, just a suggestion:

Try soc.culture.japan; they're talking about this film at this very
moment. The discussion hasn't yet gotten into this issue but has been
primed for it because there are opposing opinions on both sides that
have already begun forming.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about Japanese in American
films.  I found them all very interesting and would enjoy hearing more
responses; however...

 (From Y. Asano)
>Firstly, I would rather like you to discuss this in soc.culture.japan, not in
>this group.  I have a lot of mails through this group but I don't like to be
>bothered by this kind of discussion.

Well, I certainly don't want to bother anyone with this.
I would be more than happy to take it up on soc.culture.japan if, perhaps,
someone would be so kind as tell me how someone on a VMS/VAX Bitnet system can
access soc.culture.japan.  I've been trying to do this for the last few months
but haven't been able to, so thanks a lot.

As I said originally, if you guys don't want to discuss this here (which it
appears you don't) then let's just drop it (I guess most of you can talk about
it on soc.culture.japan if you want).  If anyone _is_ still interested in
discussing it, I would very much enjoy hearing from you at my private e-mail
address (listed below).  Sorry to increase your mail with this.

Hi,

I'm a cultural anthropologist-in-training and have been studying Japanese in
school for the last few years.  This isn't a language question, but I'm curious
about something.  There's a new film out here in the States called
"Mr. Baseball".  It stars Tom Sellek (Magnum P.I.) as an aging American
baseball star who gets traded to a team in Japan.  Of course, he doesn't
understand anything about Japanse culture, and comedy ensues as he has a
difficult time fitting in with his new teammates.

I'm wondering, how do the people on this list feel about the way Japanese
people are portrayed in American films (or any other creative medium, for that
matter)?  Has anyone ever seen a Japanese film with American characters in it?
How are they portrayed?

This may not be strictly within the bounds of this list, and if you all don't
want to talk about it, I'll shut up, but I'm very interested in hearing what
people think about this.

From what I've seen, and this is a big generalization here, Japanese people are
either portrayed as grim/psychotic yakuza types, or friendly little guys who
become flustered and clumsy when faced with the complexities of big, bad
American culture (Ever see "Gung Ho"?). I always feel a little embarrassed when
I see stuff like this, and have often wondered what Japanse people think when
they see it.  (I haven't seen "Mr. Baseball" and don't how it treats the
Japanese people.  Anyone out there seen it?).

Like I said, if no one wants to talk about this I'll drop it, but I'm really
interested in hearing people's opinions.  What do you think?

Hi all,

  Does anyone know the name of the company that puts on a
Jobfair for Japanese BUsinesses in the LA area.  You call
a phone # and they send you a card, you send that back
with some info about yourself and then they call you on
the phone for an interview in Japanese.  If you speak well
enough then they will pay your airfare to the Jobfair.  Does
anyone have the companies name and phone #?

  Thanks in advance!  :-)

An American film that stands out in its equally caricatured depiction
of the Japanese and the Americans is "Gung Ho."  The spoken Japanese
is for the most part native and even contains a comment about the lunch
of the day being "nattou teishoku" (unlikely perhaps, but in line with
the humor in the rest of the film).

Date: 12 Oct 92 00:29:08 GMT

   Sasaki-sensei;
   If the degree is supposed to focus on Japanese language, whether it be a
major or a minor, I feel a course in Japanese literature should be required.
Regardless, I feel it would be more important than one in busniess or history,
though I do feel history woudl be more important than business.  Literature is
a language art, and thus I feel it is more relevant to the study of a language.
A course in literature would also relieve one of the burden of having to
understand the complex concepts taught in history or business.  This is not to
say literature does not involve complex concepts, but it is not as reliant upon
them for understanding a story.  I speak as one with a BA in English Literature
and English Rhetoric so I do have a bit of a bias.  To a business major,
studying literature may be as difficult as business is for me.  Still, I feel
literature is more relevant to the study of a language.  Literature also
portrays a wider variety of use of a language whereas history and business
texts are mostly in scholarly form only.
  Simply my input.

Subject: Japanese minor vs. Japanese study minor
Date: 11 Oct 92 20:42:21 GMT
Distribution: fj

Our college is currently granting a Japanese minor degree, but its existence
is in danger because none of the faculty members can teach Japanese literature
courses, which are requirements of the degree. We are thinking of two options:

1. Change the Japanese minor degree code so that students can obtain a minor
by taking Japanese history, politics and economy courses rather than literature.
2. Freeze the Japanese minor degree for a while and start a new Japanese study
minor degree, whose requirement can be met by taking Japanese history, politics
and economy courses.

(In any event, they have to take Japanese language courses up to 302).

The choice between these two plans would depend on the following two issues:

A) Is it inadequate (or at least uncommon) to grant a Japanese minor degree
without a requirement of a Japanese literature course?

B) Is a Japanese study minor less appealing than a Japanese minor, in the
eyes of potential employers when it is placed on resume?

I would appreciate your suggestions.

If I were an employer I would surely ask what the _difference_
was between a Japanese study minor and a Japanese minor.  To me,
it sounds like the Japanese _study_ minor would study everything
(literature, history, politics, etc.) but the language, which is
of course very important.

I think in your case that the creation of a new minor only complicates
matters.  If I were to choose, I would choose to change the requirements
(for the time being, at least) so that a person could substitute
a politics/history/economy course in lieu of literature.

My school has a strong East Asian Studies Department, but only
recently added a Chinese minor.  The requirements for the Japanese
and Chinese minos are, I believe, five courses of the language
(about three years), and one literature course.

As an added comment, I would think that the registrar's office at
your school would be more ammenable to my choice as well, because
it would most liekly be more difficult to create (and then abolish) the
new minor than it would be to make a few exceptions.

Apart from the obvious WWII depiction of the evil menace (remember John Wayne's
`Sands of Iwo Jima') or the modern Samurai/Yakuza confusion (e.g. `Black Rain'
with Michael Douglas. . . not to be confused with the Japanese film  `Kuroi
Ame' about the nuclear aftermath) there are really a variety of depictions of
Japanese in American films.  As an example, recently I brought home three
videos. They range from A. Wrong (but sympathetic) to  B. Wrong (but funny) to
C. Wrong (and hateful).

Example A: Though I didn't expect it, `Sayonara' with Marlon Brando presented a
believable story of a closed-minded military man being gradually won over to
Japanese culture.  Although it was hard to take Ricardo Montelbon seriously as
a Kabuki Onnagata, the rest of the movie was better than I would expect for the
time period.

Example B (actually an English film, but somehow part of the American ethos):
My wife and I are still laughing about the James Bond film set in Japan (`You
only live twice').  Bond claims to have studied Japanese at Cambridge, and then
proceeds to mispronounce the only Japanese words he says: SAKE and TANAKA.  And
the scenes where the audience is expected to believe that a 6-foot plus
Scotsman could go undercover as a Japanese fisherman with a wig and some silly
eye makeup.  Just ludicrous!

Example C: Then, I screened `Breakfast at Tiffanys', because my wife wanted to
see a film with Audrey Hepburn (apparently she's a popular symbol in Japan?).
But, I had forgotten about Mickey Rooney's hideous depiction of a moronic
Japanese neighbor.  My wife, who is Japanese, didn't recognize the character as
being Japanese at all.  ("Is that character supposed to have a mental problem?
Why is he living in a Japanese style apartment?") It was so repellant, I
couldn't finish screening the video.

Any other examples out there?

I have a copy right now at hand.  I don't know it has some relation
with Dai Nippon Insatsu, but anyway its package says as follows:

  Mac Koji-en

IMHO, this is a direct transfer from the original dictionary with a
few new functions such as replaying recorded birds songs.  All the
pictures are black and white drawing exept for the colour samples in
appendix.   This is not bug free, but usable.  My greatest complaint
is the price. 59,000 yen!!  Though it is sold at around 47,000 -
51,000 yen at Akihabara, the right price would be below 20,000 yen.

Hope this helps.
