Prof. Yasar suggested the following questions to discuss with our students after watching some scenes of the film The Late Spring: 

Questions for Students:

  • How do gender roles differ in Noriko and Ayako’s generation compared to that of their parents?  How do they differ from gender roles today in the U.S.? 

  • What does the film tell you about recent history (relative to when it came out) in Japan? What doe it leave out?

  • Where is the camera positioned throughout much of the film?  How much does it move, and in what ways?

I would incorporate these as either another lesson or as a follow up one.  Students would discuss these questions in small groups and would analyze them.  They would come up with a presentation for the class and be ready to defend their analysis.
