Japanese screenplays - Wakela - 2010-11-23
Is there a good source of screenplays of Japanese movies? I recently bought the DVD for the movie ラジオ時間* with the plan of watching it over and over until some of the dialogue sinks in. Having the thing written down would be nice, though knowing the mentality of Japanese entertainment companies, it would not surprise me if this was not available.
*I highly recommend this movie and others by director Koki Mitani (三谷幸喜). The English title is Welcome Back Mr. McDonald. The plot is funny and interesting, with some good twists and great characters. It's pretty much non-stop talking with lots of different characters and situations, so I think it will be good practice.

hey Wakela,
Not screenplays, but you might find something useful in Nest0r's Substitles for Japanese films thread. Your film isn't listed, but I think there were a couple of sites mentioned (hopefully they still exist).
btw, you probably already know this, but there are ways to jump from subtitle to that point in the film, and vice versa, which can be quite useful. I use KM player. I'll keep an eye out for that director's films, thanks.
