Ardennes posted:I liked the Wandering Earth. I mean I get that China has plenty of bad war films, but I would say there are at least enough recent films to give them some credit. Wandering earth proved china can make giant dumb disaster movies every bit as mind numbingly stupid as the worst hollywood can churn out. Kudos to them.

Some Guy TT posted:hey remember that time the nazis handed our asses to us and we only just barely avoided having all our troops massacred because hitler decided a fast march on paris was more important than crippling our military for the remainder of the war lets make a movie about that that decision always baffles me

dunkirk was a big disappointment. as far as recent 'prestige' war movies go i thought 1917 was p good and surprisingly authentic, except for the german pilot inexplicably stabbing the protag immediately after they rescue him from a burning plane, that was dumb

nigel thornberry posted:does this have any relationship to the Eugene O’Neil play? bi gan likes to steal titles based on feeling he has a film called Roadside Picnic, translated into english as Kaili Blues. But in chinese it's roadstide picnic, why? - because Tarkovsky's "Solaris" is based on a book called roadside picnic. That's it.

In the Mood for Love is also exceptional, though probably more akin to Tarkovsky

unhinged posting lmaoquote:Reminder that the other thread will continue to mock Taiwan for being "a reddit country" regardless of how justified the loving drills are. And causally joke about nuking them. quote:China has you vote for Alpha Chad Xi and two guys who are pretty much just "Xi but not as cool" to decide if the CCP gets 500 or 501 seats in the parliament. Clearly a high democracy. quote:Aren't you a mod? When ya gonna ban them? quote:Don't care about the loving rules. Do what's good for the greater loving good.

if you want a good contemporary director watch Lou Ye If you want a director who has some amazing films in several genres including big spielberg war movie and classic comedies and pretentious art movie (but the good kind) and boring propaganda movies executed with extreme precision watch Feng Xiaogang

do they put the gamers in concentration camps so they can focus on improving their skills? there are a lot of esports tournaments won by chinese players/teams so it makes sense that the government would want to support them

indigi posted:that decision always baffles me Nazi tank and motorized divisions had so far outrun their infantry support (which was using primarily horses for gun and supply mobility) that von Rundstedt didn't dare commit them to the numerically far superior Allied forces bottled up in what was quickly becoming a strongpoint until said infantry support arrived. Furthermore he thought the Luftwaffe could do the job of keeping them cut off until infantry arrived.

Some Guy TT posted:has anyone seen the video im curious what evidence was presented to lead to this conclusion The guy who made the video is a foreign born (US or Canada or something) Chinese guy who's been living in China for a while and makes some "debunking western lies" types of videos. The title and thumbnail is sarcasm. iirc, that video wasn't particularly remarkable unless the viewer earnestly believed that Xinjiang was a full-on open air prison. Just a bunch of "look at the normal people being normal" stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF02xWgkAJ0

Let the Bullets Fly is a magical and incomparable movie. Jiang Wen plays a warlord-era bandit who attempts to take over rural town. He starts by hijacking a train, stealing the occupant's identity, and passing himself off as a regional tax collector so that he can rob local bigwig (Chow Yun-Fat). Chow Yun-Fat is fooled by his disguise but decides to crush him anyways because he likes being top dog, and two start an escalating back-and-forth of tricks and brutalities and deceptions. This video on youtube is a fine makeshift trailer for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgkvqb7rhh4
