For those of you interested in selecting a few special texts I will highlight below, I strongly recommend reading my section on analyzing them.

• Japanese Cinema and Problem of Cross-cultural Analysis., because there are frameworks and approaches suggested by film scholars which differ from the traditional approach to Hollywood films.
  • Asian Cinema
    • Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
    • Spirited Away (2001)
    • Your Name (2016)
  • European Cinema
    • Amélie (2001)*
    • The 400 Blows (1959)
  • Latin American Cinema
    • City of God (2002)*
• The Pre-Hollywood Era, because the Hollywood we know today didn't really exist before 1911. Especially the practices we see as "Hollywood" practices like film continuity, editing techniques, genre conventions, were not established probably until the "Golden Age" which is 1930s onwards.
  • The only Pre-Hollywood film here is Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902)
• Animation films, because there are different terms and techniques used that expand upon the traditional set of film theory ideas.
