Yasujirō Ozu

12 -12- 1903 / 12 -12- 1963 ,was a Japanese filmmaker.

I am not up to date with Japanese filming like I am with Korean.
Lacking time, not lack of interest.

But do venture there once in a while .
Two years ago I watched a few 1930 's movies from him .
In these movies he showed his way of filming whole scenes with a steady camera from one point.

I think "Idol I " is very much inspired by him.

Day 10: Did you rewatch dramas in 2025?

In 2025, prior to watching #jMovie Kingdom 4: Return of the Great General (2024), I rewatched Kingdom 3: Flame of Destiny (2023) to remind myself where the story left off.

Other than that, I did not rewatch any #jDrama #cDrama #kDrama in 2025.

Day 9: Did you watch older dramas in 2025?

Almost 60 shows watched in 2025, over 60% were older #kDrama #cDrama #jDrama, from 2021-2024, mostly cDrama. Oldests from 2021: #cDrama(s) Forever And Ever, One And Only, The Long Ballad.

Includes a few #kMovie #cMovie #jMovie, from 2011-2024, oldest, kMovie War Of The Arrows (2011) with Park Hae Il, Ryu Seung Ryong, and Moon Chae Won. Notably watched the Admiral Yi Sun-sin trilogy #kmovie(s) of 2014/2015/2023.

Before I start another Japanese movie I need to watch the latest Kingdom 4, Kingdom: Return Of The Great General (2024).

But first, I'm going to rewatch Kingdom 3: Flame Of Destiny (2023), just to see more of my favorite Japanese general, General Ohki, brilliantly acted by Osawa Takao.

The "Kingdom" (Japanese) movies are set in China during the Warring States Period.
