101141, Let's discuss: CROUCHING TIGER/HERO/FLYING DAGGERS (RACISM)
Posted by Orbit_Established, Wed Jan-18-12 11:41 AM





Just saw all three. Yep, 3 of the best films of the last
decade and change. Don't be mad, its true.



How INFREQUENTLY they are mentioned and discussed is mostly
racism combined with insecurity from ARTSY FARTSIES like y'all.



a) You artsy fartsies only like obscure Asian films. Those
3 movies were too big budget and popular for y'all, even though
they are waaaaaay better than all these dumbass cult asian
movies that y'all like:

"Samurai FLower by Katasahafasfdasfshi Mitsiabusishiyazki
was riveting" (c) Average Okayplayer


Just stop.



b) Those movies had better special effects/more meaning/depth
than any pure hollywood big budget movie of the last 10 years.


Chinese know how to do big budget and meaningful. We don't.


I mean, 'Hero' was so well made it made you sympathize with
its (not so)hidden pro-Mao fascist message, for god's sakes. Its a fantastic fucking film. Masterpiece.


And I just saw MI:4 and visually its a snoozer compared to
'Hero'. Probably the most beautiful film I've ever seen in a
theater.


White people: You cannot direct as well as the Chinese. First
it was math. Now its film. Get over it.


Oh, and the the remake of 'Karate Kid' was a Chinese production
as well. Better than the American original <--it was, just stop,
we already had this debate.
