China is funny to me. They tried to cover up a disease that they designed in their bio warfare lab that got leaked. Thankfully it's not very deadly like Ebola or something. Problem is you can pass it without feeling sick for like a week. So we're all going to get it but only old people and new borns will die.

Opened up this thread for the first time and this being on the first page is quite something. I do not want to know what the following couple hundred pages looked like with the timing.

Pretty extensive plot synopsis. Tough to read it in one sitting.

TrashMammal
Nov 10, 2022

the whole movie is a neglected child’s hallucination after she falls off a boat. these delusions revolve around the stories the other main character—a clown who jumped into the ocean to save her—is telling to distract her from the fact that they are both adrift and slowly drowning. the clown dies. something like the last twenty minutes of the movie is spent rubbing it in how sad everything is and then it’s over. the girl learns to eat bitterness and we are assured her life is better now as the credits roll

it’s a reasonably fun and rather gorgeous spirited away knock off up until the ending though

China Daily's front page headline today is about how happy someone was to get a letter from Xi Jinping, so about how you'd expect.

I can't remember if China basically won't let a movie be shown if it has a map that doesn't contain the dashed line or if including it gains favors and makes it more likely to get shown there.

allegedly:



Possibly an ingenious attempt to square the circle by having a dashed line ambiguous whether it's the dashed line or a journey marker

(even stylized maps must show dashes according to Beijing, that's not novel, but personally I would have left off Asia altogether. I hear Aquellia is nice this time of the year)
