Amazon va diffuser un entretien entre Anno, créateur d’Eva, et Matsumoto du duo comique Downtown. On a connu ce dernier en FR quand en 2007, il a présenté au festival de Cannes son film, Big Man Japan. L’occasion de parler Ultraman, et traité de sécurité Japon – États-Unis. 1/18
Certains d’entre vous ont peut-être déjà vu Big Man Japan, la comédie "kaijû" de Matsumoto. Pour ceux voulant éviter les spoils, passez votre chemin, car on va discuter de l’œuvre, en particulier sa toute dernière scène, apogée de ce film éminemment politique. 2/18
En effet, derrière ce « documenteur », se lit en filigranes la psyché des Japonais envers le passé du pays depuis l’après-guerre, en particulier son gigantisme lors de la période de haute-croissance (1954-1973) et la bulle spéculative des années 80. 3/18

Mon avis sur Shin Evangelion, enfin terminé.
Les premières 45 minutes du film m'avaient fait peur, et je réitère que cet énième appel à la nostalgie furusato-esque m'a énervé au plus haut point.
La raison d'être de cet été éternel dans la première série: montrer que les héros sont enfermés dans un cercle vicieux éternel de l'enfance (le furusato, c'est les souvenirs d'enfance, en particulier ceux d'été).
Remontrer la même chose m'a donné l'impression qu'on tournait en rond (ce que je ne voulais pas dans ces films).

Remontrer la même chose m'a donné l'impression qu'on tournait en rond, ce qui m'avait fait détesté les deux premiers films et étant donné son absence, adoré le 3ème.

Je profite de ce tweet de @julien bouvard pour parler de trois remarques courantes sur la traduction. Le tweet comprend l’une des phrases les plus cryptiques pour les non-initiés.
Je rajouterai deux autres remarques auxquelles j’ai couramment fait face. Je ne dis pas que la remarque est fausse, ne me prêtez pas de mauvaises intentions. Elle est très juste. Mais il faut comprendre ce qu’elle implique.
1ère remarque
« Parler couramment est différent de traduire. »
Si on reprend le tweet « parler couramment≠pouvoir traduire », il ne faut pas comprendre qu’on peut traduire sans parler couramment.

ウルトラマンシリーズの初鑑賞が2ヶ月ちょいで終わったので感想!ずっと東映特撮ばっか見てきたので、一番の驚きは同じ特撮というジャンルでもこんな違うものを作り上げられるんだな~ってことかな。(①/⑥) Image
最初は「宇宙怪獣が地球を襲うわ~地底に眠っていたエイリアン町を破壊するわ~化け物まで(!)村を爆発させるわ」(←言葉の順番は間違っていません)でまじでこんな種類豊富な怪獣が毎週のように現れるなら、(②/⑥) ImageImageImage
科学者は怪獣を襲撃する方法より、異星への移住に専念しろって。その考えはあくまで、組織か同種類が敵を成すという東映特撮のイメージが深く根付いているからの反応かもしれんけど、見れば見るほどそんな作りもありだなと思うようになったんだ。(③/⑥) Image

When we talk about #Tokusatsu FX directors, the first name that come to mind is, understandably Eiji Tsuburaya (FX director for the first Gojira, Ultraman’s father). However, one less-known person is Nobuo Yajima, who passed away two years ago, in November 2019. A THREAD
Born in 1928, Yajima left studies in engineering to join Shochiku in 1949, where he studied everything about movies (even collecting tickets in cinemas !). After watching John Ford’s The Hurricane, he grows an interest in FX, and joins the dedicated team at Shochiku.
His interest for editing came after he met a French editor while working as assistant director, cameraman and editor on the French-Japanese movie Typhon sur Nagasaki. An experience that shaped his vision of FX.

With the new image of Zenkaiger,a thread to explain why I think this series is here to save the Super Sentai franchise.I know those rumors have been going on for years. #zenkaizer #zenkaiger #ゼンカイザー #ゼンカイジャー #スーパー戦隊 #特撮 #tokusatsu #supersentai #sentai(1/20)
I’m the first one to have doubts when everybody talks about it every year, but this year, I think it may be true. (2/20)
My argumentation is based on a panel of the Tokyo International Film Festival.
Here’s the link bit.ly/2KD5Nwi
Interestingly, this panel took place at the beginning of November. That means that, during that time, Shirakura knew about the new Sentai. (3/20)
