1) Do you agree that the kind of minimalist representation of the Asian theatrical traditions (like Kabuki, Peking Opera, etc.) can work in film? How does the minimalist mantra “less is more” appeal to you in terms of visual impacts created by the Asian film directors? Use one or two instances from the films we have studied thus far to support your comments.
2) How would you react to the statement: "Life imitates art" after watching PEKING OPERA BLUES? In what ways is the life of the three women impacted by the art(s) of the theatrical stage? Use one instance from the films we have studied so far to support your argument.
3) What is the one salient aspect of these films we have studied so far that, to you, reflects profoundly the drastic social and cultural tumults Japan, China and Asian countries went through in late 19th and early 20th centuries? How is it (an
event, a character, and/or a scene) depicted differently from similar ones in the films of West or other parts of the world? Cite one instance of such a depiction.
