East Asian cinema is cinema produced in East Asia or produced by people from this region. It is part of Asian cinema, which in turn is part of world cinema. World cinema is used in the English-speaking world to refer to all foreign language films. The most significant film industries categorizable as East Asian cinema are the industries of China, Hong Kong and Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. Other countries include Mongolia, Vietnam, Singapore, North Korea and Macau. The largest markets in East Asia are China, Japan and South Korea. The terms 'Far Eastern cinema', 'Asian cinema', 'Eastern cinema' or 'Oriental cinema' are sometimes used synonymously with East Asian cinema, particularly in the United States, although their broader scope means that Asian cinema could equally well apply to the movies produced in other parts of Asia, particularly the cinema of India including the enormous Bollywood film industry. ==Styles and genres== The scope of East Asian cinema is huge and covers a wide array of different film styles and genres. However, East Asian cinema shares a common cultural background and is particularly famous in the West for: * Martial arts films (notably the various styles of Hong Kong action cinema such as period Kung Fu, action comedies and Wuxia) * ''Jidaigeki'' (Japanese period films, especially Samurai films) * J-Horror (Japanese horror film) * K-Horror (Korean horror film) * Anime (Japanese animation) * Korean drama (Korean style telenovela and soap opera film) * Heroic bloodshed (Hong Kong action films) and other gangster films (usually centred on Chinese Triad crime organisations) * ''Tokusatsu'' (Japanese science fiction including ''Kaiju'' monster films) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「East Asian cinema」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
