Two outstanding films that can be used during a unit on World War 2 would be Clint Eastwood's "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima". Both of them are excellent and should be watched as a pair. Nevertheless, "Letters from Iwo Jima" stands out because the film is from the Japanese point of view - and the film does an amazing job of painting characters that real, diverse, and very close to home.The central character of "Letters" is Saigo (which in Japanese means "last"), a baker from a small town who is forced by the government to fight for the Japanese army. From the beginning we see aspects of his personality that illustrate how much of a "regular" guy he is - from his banter with his partners, to his grumblings as he takes out the feces of his platoon. The film has several flashbacks that show us the former lives of some of the soldiers, and how not all Japanese soldiers were committed to fighting the war. Secondly, you can use this film to tie in a geography lesson on how the geography of the islands played into the battle of Iwo Jima.A very good movie that is tragic and very sad. The negative thing would be the language - the film is all in Japanese, so unless you have a large screen for a projector, some students might not be able to follow the words.
A short documentary that I saw on Frontline World is narrated and written by Douglas Rushkoff is worth getting a hold of. It is possible 30 minutes or less in length and is about the problem with video game addiction. Douglas Rushkoff if you don't know is a media critic, he has done two documentary for Frontline: The Persuaders and Merchants of Cool, both of which are about advertising and pop media. His books Cohersion and Media Viruses are intriguing reading. He has even written a graphic novel and a sci fi book. Anyway the Frontline (my favorite tv show) is about how in Korea (and Seoul, possibly the most wired city in the world, even Professor Jung-Kim noted this) video game addiction can and does kill. Kids will play for 24-72 hours straight in computer game centers. As you may know, the video games now are more networked and usually involve interaction online with other players. Since Korea has extremely high speed internet connections, games are even more compelling. Education in Korea is threatened and traditional roles. You probably can watch the episode online.

Books that I have read about China include Soul Mountain by Gao Xingjian, who is the first Chinese recipient of the Nobel prize for literature and whose book describes a physical and a spiritual journey.In the pages of the above book, I have an article about another book, which I haven't read but sounds incredible. It's titled Sky Burial and it's about a Chinese writer's journey in Tibet, offering a unique perspective to Americans.On a more whimsical note, but still with a slice of history, is Balzac and the Chinese seamstress, about two cities boys who are sent into the country to be "re-educated" during the Cutural Revolution and who read European classics secretly to a seamstress (it's not Asia, but kind of reminds me of reading Lolita in Tehran, another great book).I've also read The Good Earth, which was a really beautiful book, almost Tolstoyan in its scope of a man's life. I don't know enough about Chinese history to say how accurate or authentic a representation this is from this missionary daughter. I would be curious to know what Chinese people think about this book. From my perspective it was very impressive for the knowledge and love the author seems to have for the country.[Edit by="zskalkottas on Jan 31, 6:34:28 PM"][/Edit]
As for movies, I love Eat, Drink, Man, Woman and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, both directed by Ang Lee. What an incredible director! Chow Yun-Fat, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi and Chang Chen are all amazing in CTHD. I also liked the later film, similar in style, though not quite as good--House of Flying Daggers.

To end on a happy note: yesterday my mother called me at 9pm, which is super late for her, so I thought something was wrong. But she had beautiful news for me. She\u2019d been invited to a dinner party by a friend to the house of someone she didn\u2019t know, under the guise of meeting new people. And it turned out it was a surprise book club, and they were discussing \u201CThe Year of the Horses.\u201D All the women loved the book, and really liked the way that I portrayed some complicated relationships in it, including the one that my mother and I have. It made my mom feel so good to be celebrated, and I believe a great portion of the evening was devoted to deciding who should play her in the movie version, and which actresses could properly ride a Harley Davidson like my mother used to. (My money is on Ashley Judd. Hollywood, call me!) Isn\u2019t that so cool?
