Tendency films reflected a perceived leftward shift in Japanese society in the aftermath of the 1927 Shōwa financial crisis. Notable examples of the genre are Tomu Uchida's ''A Living Puppet'' (1929), Kenji Mizoguchi's ''Tokyo March'' and ''Metropolitan Symphony'' (both 1929), Tomotaka Tasaka's ''Behold This Mother'' (1930), and Shigeyoshi Suzuki's '' What Made Her Do It?'' (1930). History and themes Tendency films were melodramas aimed at the mainstream commercial market, in contrast to the documentaries produced by the Proletarian Film League of Japan, and often featured proletarian protagonists set against upper-class counterparts. Daisuke Itō's ''jidaigeki'' (period drama) films had increasingly featured heroes in revolt against the social system of historical Japan, including ''Servant'' (1927) and ''Man-Slashing, Horse-Piercing Sword'' (1929).
