Features: The author of this book takes the perspective of a movie enthusiast, tracing the development of cinema to summarize the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western film arts. The book includes comparisons of Eastern and Western film genres, as well as representative film works from both sides. It also features comparisons of influential filmmakers who have shaped Eastern and Western cinema, as well as film festivals that have celebrated achievements in Eastern and Western film arts. The author strives to maintain a unique perspective—neither "academic" nor overly expressing personal preferences, as he states in the preface: "Facing an ever-increasing number of films, what we should do is to make calm choices and think independently."
