Nihon eiga wa ikite iru

[amy loa]

Hello Professor Gerow,

As you said in your blog, "While I am not a big fan of the title, ..." I am
wondering what's your opinion of this title, and how do you like the
attitude or meaning behind the title.

Honestly, "Nihon eiga wa ikite iru" is actually how I, a Chinese fan of
Japanese movies, think of the situation of the Japanese movie industry and
its influence in East Asia. It is not popular or strong as it was, but
when we see a couple of good movies coming out every year,  we will
say,"Nihon eiga wa ikite iru."

Thank you very much
