Abstract
This work reflects about the role of cinema as a stereotypes conductor, focusing on films that show the visit of a western citizen to Japan. The choice of this coubtry is due to two factors: the existence of a previous work where the film Lost in Translation (Coppola, 2003) is studied by the orientalism and the growing phenomenon of ‘Cool Japan’, that provoked an exacerbated love for the country of the Rising Sun. Despite the difficulty of choosing the sample, three commercial films have been selected to develop the research: Cars 2 (Lasseter and Lewis, 2011), Wolverine: Immortal (Mangold, 2013) and Tokyo Fianceé (Liberski, 2014)
