Himalaya (1999) (Nepal)
At first glance, the movie Himalaya is remarkable - a beautifully shot docudrama about Tibetan villagers fighting internal strife to maintain their annual trek to trade Tibetan salt for Nepalese grain. The landscape is breathtaking, and the cinematography constantly stops you in your tracks. Eric Valli’s tale of a real-life tribe from the Dolpo Valley received an Oscar nod for Best Foreign Language Film, but it’s not until you watch the special feature (’The Making Of’ by Deborah Kellner) on the DVD that you really understand what makes this film remarkable.
When Valli decided to recreate the drama of the Dolpo-pa’s epic journey through the Himalayas, he made some extraordinary decisions in order to preserve its authenticity. (It’s not surprising to discover he is also a National Geographic photographer.) First of all, he hired the Dolpo-pa to play themselves - people who had never been to a cinema, let alone acted in a movie. He also decided to film the movie entirely on location, making the same hazardous journey as the Dolpo-pa would - through perilous mountains, along sheer cliff edges and through blistering blizzards.
In 1997, 200 porters, 150 yaks (transport doubling as actors, with a fiberglass yak brought along for stunts), and 20 crew set off for the Dolpa Valley - ten days walk from the nearest road. They carried enough supplies with them for the planned 79-day shoot. Disaster followed disaster - permits were cut short, the main actor contracted bronchitis, some of the crew got stuck in a mountain pass. After six weeks, they finally started shooting.
As an indie film, Himalaya had a small budget. With almost every obstacle stacked up against them, Valli and his crew blew that through the roof. In the end, the movie took nine months to finish. The crew, some of whom had barely camped before, spent months in remotest Nepal with no electricity, running water or other creature comforts. Some even battled severe altitude sickness (they were working at 13-19,000ft).
As for the Dolpo-pa, as weeks stretched into months, some grew more and more disgruntled at being taken away from their day-to-day life. One can only hope they enjoyed the movie when it was finally completed. After watching ‘The Making Of’ documentary, it’s easy to feel in awe of what the filmmakers went through, completing as they did an adventure almost as profoundly difficult as the one portrayed in the movie they made. It’s also easy to wonder what effect all of this change had upon the Dolpo-pa, shaken from their existence by the arrival of a movie crew.
Whatever the case, the movie is a triumph over adversity, and a cinematographic masterpiece. It’s also a fascinating chance to see a remote world that most of us are unlikely to visit. If you ever get the chance to go there, why not drop in on the Dolpo-pa and see how they’re doing now? It would be fascinating to know… - Roshan McArthur

Sinking of Japan (2006) (Japanese)
REVIEW FROM IMDB
Nihon Chinbotsu is another example of Japanese creativity and ingenuity. The original story written in the early seventies is truly incredible in terms of thrill and how thought-provoking it was. Very basically, the story is about the Japanese archipelago “sinking” into the ocean due to plate tectonics. I’m not an expert on this branch of science, so I can’t say how realistic the science behind the disaster is, but it sounded very believable as a layman.
There are many elements which make this disaster movie stand out compared to other disaster flicks like Day After Tomorrow, Independence Day, Twister, etc. No matter what devastation there is in the aforementioned movies, the land itself remains to fix. The people can rise out of the rubble, is usually the end of the film. However, Japan sinking means that the Japanese can’t do anything to rebuild their homeland. Japanese will have to live somewhere else forever. Which raises many philosophical questions. What happens to a people without a homeland? Are the Japanese going to be worth anything to the other nations when they’ve lost their factories, cities, cultural artifacts? More specifically, do the Japanese today have any value? Will the Japanese have to simply assimilate into other nations and disappear as a unique civilization?
This film is a remake of the 1970s classic which is itself the film adaptation of the novel. There are many changes, one being the obvious CGI which is on par with Hollywood standards (which some may find a prerequisite for a good disaster film). But there are some crucial story edits that some may find for better or worse. I personally found the differences neither better or worse, just another alternate ending. This remake however is a bit faster pace and focuses more on the destruction and relies heavily on the action to keep people excited, which was probably not the intention of Komatsu Sakyo, the author. The questions raised continue to exist in this remake but are not the main focus of the film.
In conclusion, this remake is exciting as an action packed disaster flick with great CGI destroying familiar sites (if you’re Japanese) as well as a thought-provoking film. What’s great about it is that if you want to just watch it as an action flick, you can, if you want to think about the questions raised, you can as well, but you won’t be forced to. It’s a good balance. I would recommend it.
