>HK cinema dies in 2001 for mysterious reasons
Most Hong Kong cinema is, as cool and awesome as it is, just pulpy action. They're not all like Wong Kar-wai. Meanwhile the Japs have tons of cinematic masters.
>someone praises foreign cinema
>gives the most basic b***h example from the location in question
and then you have equally moronic statements like this
>moronic statements
True statements are not moronic just because you don't like their implications, shiteater.
>It's true because it just is okay
a completely novel statement from a non-moronic person
You just said it was moronic, not much of an argument.
The burden of proof is on you to prove the statement to begin with, moron
>The burden of proof is on you to prove the statement to begin with, moron
No, the burden of proof is on OP first and foremost. Not the people drawing his bullshit statements in doubt, based on empirical data.
You, however, are in turn doubting said data, so therefore you are now burdened with providing your alternative evidence.
Look up HK films then, and marvel at how little variety they have. Not hard to verify if you just check fricking IMDB or even one of those databases dedicated solely to HK flicks.
>can't provide any evidence
Your only argument is the boomer-tier "google it bro" in which case you should've already done that and provided the evidence
but you haven't
why not?
Go to IMDB, list films by coutry, look through any page of results. Do it, now. There's your evidence, filthy shitposter.
Now provide evidence for HK shit not being 80% martial arts shit.
>my evidence is what you just refuted
meanwhile
>https://hkmdb.com/db/search/genre_search_entry.mhtml?display_set=eng
the HK database, dedicated specifically to the topic in question (HK movies), lists numerous genres outside of "action"
not only this, but the number of entries in action is far less than the entries in drama; over 500 less, in fact
by that alone, the industry is not 90%, or even 50% action
seethe
>lists numerous genres outside of "action"
>the number of entries in action is far less than the entries in drama
Okay. How many of those "drama titles" are Kung Fu drama?
Kung-Fu Dramas like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon seem to be generally listed under Action
assuming you have even 500 crossovers that would maybe bring it to a 40% "genre-share" max
of course your argument doesn't address whether they are good or bad, or why exactly an action film is excluded from "cinematic mastery"
this movie sucks dick and the people who praise it are delusional
>shock value
>crunching noises
drivel
he's overrated but not as bad as you say
he's not worse than the gay guy, that's for sure
I'd say he and Yimou are about the same when it comes down to it, but S&S has discredited itself recently
>Kung-Fu Dramas like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon seem to be generally listed under Action
Look through the "historical drama" category. Half of them are also "War" films. I.e. action.
And if it was tagging more rigorously, way more films would get some kind of action element, rather than just the one dominant genre monicker.
>"War" films. I.e. action.
lol at considering war films to be action
is All Quiet On The Western Front an action movie?
glad I know you're not actually qualified to have this discussion now
lmfao
>lol at considering war films to be action
What are they if not action?
>is All Quiet On The Western Front an action movie?
In large parts, yes.
>What are they if not action?
War movies dumbass
that's why they're a different genre
>War movies dumbass
Yeah, you're a complete and utter moron. Good day.
Lmfao
>it's a different genre for no reason
>there's no difference in the presence of combat or intensity throughout a film in the genre of war vs the genre of action
>neither is there a difference in intention, or presentation
You were absolutely mogged
get over it kid
>Most Hong Kong cinema is, as cool and awesome as it is, just pulpy action
So they're like Koreans?
Korean cinema nowadays is just a low-budget imitation of what Hollywood did 20 years ago, but with plotlines losely taken from Japanese media.
I think that too
filtered
>Hong Kong cinema
Maybe if it wasn't so obsessed with action (read: martial art) flicks. If 90% of your output is a single genre, you're doing something wrong.
Similar: Current Hollywood and capeshit.
Bi Gan is pretty good and hes from china, also Tsai Ming-Liang although idk if Taiwan counts
Great film.
mainlanders are to busy taking over to world to care about making silly movies
>taking over to world
You mean "fricking over the world"?
Yes, that's how it gets done.
Astonishing this fraud is so popular on /film/ and has a top 10 of all time S & S. Just proves how easy it is to brainwash morons with cinematography.
>no script and it shows
>not even yimou level
>even tsai is better
>the japanese dwarf him
>according to /film/ Japan only=ozu, kurosawa, miyazaki and naked anime breasts.
>Japanese were master craftsmen all throughout history, their mise-en-scene is unmatched.
>Ishii, Ichikawa, Itami, Somai, Tsukamoto, Obayashi, Furahata, Fukasaku
>"well... Koreeda is the only japanese director... he won the palm d'or!!"
>/film/: I love Wong Kong Wai films!
I hate you /film/ zoomers so fricking much the way you overrate Wong Kar Wai.
What are some wierd HK kinos?
China makes kino historical movies
Taiwan is cool
