Ring (film)
is a 1998 Japanese psychological supernatural horror film directed by Hideo Nakata, based on the 1991 novel by Koji Suzuki. The film stars Nanako Matsushima, Miki Nakatani and Hiroyuki Sanada, and follows a reporter who is racing to investigate the mystery behind a cursed video tape; whoever watches the tape dies seven days after doing so. The film is titled ''The Ring'' (stylized as ''the Ring'') in English in Japan and released as ''Ringu'' in North America. Production took approximately nine months. ''Ring'' and its sequel ''Spiral'' were released in Japan at the same time. After its release, ''Ring'' was a huge box office success in Japan and was acclaimed by critics. It inspired numerous follow-ups in the ''Ring'' franchise, popularized Japanese horror (or "J-horror") internationally, and triggered a trend of Western remakes of J-horror films, including the 2002 American film '' The Ring''. Plot During a sleepover, high schoolers Tomoko and Masami discuss an urban legend ...

Ring 2
is a 1999 Japanese supernatural horror film, directed by Hideo Nakata and serves as a sequel to ''Ring''. ''Ring'' was originally a novel written by Koji Suzuki; its sequel, ''Rasen'' (a.k.a. ''Spiral''), was also adapted into a film as the sequel to ''Ring''. Due to the poor response to ''Rasen'', ''Ring 2'' was made as a new sequel to ''Ring''. However it ''was'' not based on Suzuki's works, thus it ultimately ignores the story of ''Rasen''. ''Ring 2'' takes place a couple of weeks after the first film, directly continuing the story and features most of the cast from ''Ring'' reprising their roles. Plot After the body of Sadako Yamamura is retrieved from a well, her uncle Takashi is summoned by police to identify her. Detective Omuta explains to Takashi that forensics concluded Sadako may have survived in the well for thirty years. Forensics experts reconstruct her body, giving it to Takashi, who gives his niece a burial at sea, hoping to be free from the guilt he has carrie ...

The analogous Greek term is (), literally "one who answers".''Hypokrites'' (related to our word for hypocrite) also means, less often, "to answer" the tragic chorus. See Weimann (1978, 2); see also Csapo and Slater, who offer translations of classical source material using the term ''hypocrisis'' (acting) (1994, 257, 265–267). The actor's interpretation of a rolethe art of actingpertains to the role played, whether based on a real person or fictional character.
