Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! At most film screenings in Japan and elsewhere, the attraction is the film…not the scenery in the theater. In fact, most movie theaters are deliberately plainly decorated so as not to interrupt the moviegoing experience for all viewers, including the Japanese. Besides, all Japanese movie theaters are dark for most of the time you’re in them, so your surroundings don’t show. However, one Japanese director recently decided to break new ground with his movie project. In a showing of his film in Japan, he added some innovative surroundings that were the talk of the viewers of his Japanese film. This backdrop for his Japanese project was like no other!
