Dawn of a New Day
The movie “Dawn of a New Day” was a very emotional and passionate movie but over what seems to be the strangest thing to have so much emotion over, the VHS. This movie showed the journey of a small company, JVC, went through many struggles and hardships to create what the world would become to enjoy for years in their homes, the VHS. This movie shows that if there is passion and love for what you do as well as working with others and striving for a common goal then anything is possible.
I felt this movie showed little of Japanese culture and more of the very Western need for money and profits, except for of course JVC, which was geared towards the people and their needs. I think even when many strayed from more traditional ideas and moved toward greed and profit, that even when times are tough it pays off to be kind to everyone and work at everything that you do. Hard Work pays off.
The movie was very long though. It seemed to focus on every single aspect and then it seemed to flat line and very little happened, then the movie would skip to something exciting but then focused there. Parts could have been shorted and more focus put on others, not everything needs a grand amount of attention because even a moment of something can be just as important and say even more than drawing on for ever. Over all I felt it was a good movie and I learned so much about the creation of the VHS along with the competition between major companies in Japan while still learning about the large variation with in the Japanese society itself.
