It is also interesting to learn about other countries' cultures and customs through content

When watching foreign dramas or movies, I sometimes find myself thinking, "What does this mean?" due to a lack of knowledge about the culture or customs.

It is interesting to learn about other countries' cultures and customs through content, and knowing those cultures and customs makes the content even more enjoyable.

I would like to talk about that.

Dramas and movies are deeply rooted in culture

Dramas and movies often reflect the culture and customs of their audience so that many people can easily empathize with them.

In a Korean drama, it was said about a girl who committed suicide that she "became so distressed over her poor academic performance that she took her own life."

I thought, "Is that really something to be so distressed about?!" but for Korean people, it probably feels natural.
I suppose Korea is a society that places that much importance on "academic background."

There are many ways to learn about and experience culture through dramas and movies like this.

On the other hand, when watching foreign dramas and movies, there are many scenes where I think, "Wait, what does that mean?!"

I don't understand them because I don't know the culture or customs.

The Korean drama example above was understandable because I had the background knowledge that Korea is a society obsessed with academic credentials.
Without that, it would have been hard to understand why she committed suicide.

An article that shared cultural differences using "Red, White & Royal Blue" as a subject

A work depicting the romance between Alex, the son of the US President, and Prince Henry of the British Royal Family.

The original work is a New York Times bestselling novel.
The work also has high ratings on Amazon and is very interesting!

Various things were contrasted with the two protagonists as the axis.

I found an article that wrote about American and British culture using scenes and words from "Red, White & Royal Blue" as subject matter.

You can find out immediately if you look it up, but it summarizes things that you might unexpectedly leave unexamined on a work-by-work basis.

You can enjoy the work more deeply, and the knowledge you gain will be useful when watching other works as well.

It's an interesting way to share information, isn't it!!

It is also fun to learn about culture starting from content

Dramas and movies strongly reflect the culture and customs of the viewers so that many people can easily empathize with them.

If you look up the parts that bothered you after watching, you might make new discoveries about foreign cultures and customs.

I learned about Ainu culture by reading "Deciphering Golden Kamuy through Ainu Culture" by Hiroshi Nakagawa, who supervised the Ainu language for the original work.

As a result, I like "Golden Kamuy" enough to have visited the Abashiri Prison!

Why don't you try digging deeper into cultures and customs through your favorite works as well?

I write about anime, movies, and more.
