Black cinema

Japanese: ブラック・シネマ(英語表記)black cinema
Black cinema
Also called "black film" or "black movie," which translates to "black movie" in Japanese, it has a long history behind it. Black people first appeared in American films in the first film adaptation of Mrs. Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1903), a 12-minute film directed by Edwin S. Porter, in which Tom was played by a white actor with his face painted black. In the fourth film adaptation of the same novel (1914, directed by W. R. Daly), black stage actor Sam Lucas played Tom for the first time, but white actors continued to paint their faces black and play black characters thereafter.

Japanese:
〈ブラック・フィルム〉あるいは〈ブラック・ムービー〉ともいわれ,日本語に訳せば〈黒人映画〉であるが,その背景には長い歴史がある。アメリカ映画に〈黒人〉が登場したのは,ストー夫人の《アンクル・トムの小屋》の最初の映画化(1903)で,これはエドウィン・S.ポーター監督による12分の作品であったが,このときトムを演じたのは顔を黒く塗った白人の俳優であった。同じ原作の4度目の映画化(1914。W.R.ダリー監督)で初めて黒人の舞台俳優サム・ルーカスがトムを演じたが,一般には白人の俳優が顔を黒く塗って黒人を演ずることはその後もつづいた。
