Abstract

The film of Tampopo basically has two main types of genres which are comedy and melodrama, but it also includes other mixed kinds of genres and various elements in general. It looks like a movie and a story about Japanese food culture while also has scenes about samurai spirit and so on. The two leading storylines and relevant scenes filming in both peaceful and delightful but also sudden and intensive paces as well as the unique vocal part all give this film detailed and related information and display of these genres.
