my choice in more depth/ key words

i have decided to at this stage look into the idea of world cinema remakes in Hollywood in order to research this i have decided to perhaps look at specific films and directors and compare them together for example the ring and grudge films as both of these films were made in japan and than remade in Hollywood by the original director which could be interesting to look at in terms of the movies values and weather the director overcame to Hollywood pressures and changed the movies intention and or values/ideology/style which may be unique to the films original country which it was made in .

in order to make it easier for my investigation i have devised i question which will help me explore my topic

why are Hollywood remakes of world cinema features successful ?

selecting research

for my first topic one of my main ideas is world cinema. i have 2 main i deas i would like to explore under this topic, the first is the representaion of western culture in east asian cinema. one of the main foucs films i was looking at that has an intersting viwe of western culture is the film battle royale and its sequal battle royale 2. the message in this film is very strong and has a very anti amreican theme to some extent, althought one of the main draw backs in following this topic would be the fact thati have yet to find anyother east asian film which follows a simlar theme or has a particualr strog represention of western culture.

my second idea that iwould like to explore under the topic of world cinema is the hollywood remake of world cinema features and explore how the origonal films values and thems/styleistic integroty of the film appeals to a western audience and how they are adapted to fit for a wetern audience. i would alos like to look at directors who started off making world cinema films and then went on to make a movie in hollywood and see how the films themselfs compare to eachother. i do like this idea but i feel i need to look into the topic at a greater depth before i can figure out which avenue i wish to persue

another topic i have had i few ideas for is children and the media one of the main ideas i wish to explore under this topic is that of how the media influences child crime spesifically looking at high school masscres such as colmbine and how the media balmed the killers obsession with marlin manson and viloent viedo games. think this topic is very intersting but there its a bit ambiguous as to weather this could be classified as children and the media or media and the crime depending on the ages of the murders/and other reported incidents.

my first ideas

my two initial ideas are , firstly hollywood re makes of world cinema films and how this effects the narrtive and themes of the original movie works in the remaake and appeal to a weatern audience

my second idea is the representaion of wester culture in esat asian cinema eg. battle royale 1 and 2
