Talk:Shoshimin-eiga

Bogus word?

I was trying to find evidence for this word in Japanese & found this: http://kotobank.jp/word/%E5%B0%8F%E5%B8%82%E6%B0%91%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB

昭和初期(1930年代前半)に流行した小市民(すなわち安サラリーマン)の生活と生活感情を描く日本映画の一傾向とその作品群の総称。欧米の日本映画研究書ではShomingeki(庶民劇)とされ，〈下級中産階級の人々の生活を描いた映画〉と説明されている。小津安二郎監督の《東京の合唱》(1931)，《生れてはみたけれど》(1932)を頂点に，倉田文人監督《小市民》(1932)，成瀬巳喜男監督《夜ごとの夢》(1933)，島津保次郎監督《隣の八重ちゃん》(1934)，五所平之助監督《生きとし生けるもの》(1934)，《人生のお荷物》(1935)，内田吐夢監督《限りなき前進》(1937)等々，サイレントからトーキーにかけての諸作品がこの系譜の代表作として挙げられる。・・・

My translation: Western scholars of Japanese film call them "Shomingeki"...

It doesn't really mention this is a bogus word in the article. JoshuSasori (talk) 08:32, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

I see. So that's where Moe anime and manga like K-ON! comes from. --189.6.183.218 (talk) 06:00, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Kotobank/Hitachi reliable reference source? / Cinewiki defunct?

1. Can Kotobank/Hitachi be regarded as a reliable reference source? 2. When trying to access Cinewiki, I get an error message – is this site defunct? Robert Kerber (talk) 18:28, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Shomin-geki → Shoshimin-eiga – The old term shomin-geki is a pseudo-Japanese word, first used in 1950's Western film literature; in recent years, literature, papers, serious web sites on film and scholars are increasingly using the correct term shoshimin-eiga. See for instance Google book search [1]. I suggest a page move to the correct and in the meantime more frequently used term Shoshimin-eiga, users searching the old term will be automatically re-directed to the page with the accurate term.

Your edits

To editor Robert Kerber: hello, don't quite understand why you made some of [these edits]? You removed some pretty important stuff, didn't you? Like the two navbars that I've just spent an hour cleaning up a bit, you just took them out altogether. What's up with that? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 10:31, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Must have been an edit conflict, no harm intended. But I see you mixed up the terms shoshimin-eiga and shomin-geki in two places. I'll restore your nav bar adds and the grammar corrections. Best Robert Kerber (talk) 10:55, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Cool, and sorry for the conflicting and mixed up edits. I'll try to do better. Thank you for your help! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 11:03, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
