its literally the rat utopia thing.
you need a soul to make real art
That dude just got dunked on by the entire thread, it's impressive
Shogun
Drug War
>TFW Johnny To said the original ending involved the guy getting away with it but the mainland pressured him into changing it.
Frick china.
Those are from Hong Kong. Big difference.
YOU never hear about chinese movies. Because you live in a cave.
That's why you got Zhang mentioned, too, you dipshit.
Take your pick from Jackie Chan's chinese catalog.
>hongkong
>zero shit from actual china
Hong Kong is part of China now anons.
chink mongrelized khan rape baby mainlanders treat anyone from hong kong with disdain, along with anyone who isnt Han, counting hong kong movies as "chinese" when these soul less chinks dont themselves is disingenious, the Han bugs havent made any movies worth a damn outside of propaganda films since mao took over
>that filename
OP is projecting hard
Pick any Stephen Chow film
Karate Kid
Police Story series for action romp.
Pre-2000 Zhang Yimou for kino kino
UOOOOHHHHHHG ASIAN WOMAN EROTIC
EPICANTHAL FOLD EROTIC
This is me but unironically
Same unironically
I quite liked Red Cliff, it was kino.
Yes. Even better that they have a fetish for white guys, I am willing to oblige.
Same
Some older Zhang Yimou films:
Raise the Red Lantern, To Live, Red Sorghum
These are also books which is probably why they turned out well.
Chen Kaige, HK cinema like Wong Karwai, The Last Emperor if you don't mind a joint Western production.
Ash Is Purest White is good
Still Life, by the same director
Devils on the Doorstep, a very rare self-criticism in the context of WW2, hence why it was banned for 7 years
Black Coal, Thin Ice is okay, I like it because it's set in Heilongjiang which I've never seen in a film before
Ip Man, also just okay
Wild Goose Lake
I haven't seen the following but hear they're good:
Rebels of the Neon God (Taiwanese), An Elephant Sitting Still (Mainland), Three Kingdoms (Mainland TV show)
For me, I tend to like films that show what the country is like for 80% of people who live there and it's obviously not the latest c-drama set in Shanghai. But the idea of a 'gritty China' doesn't get much state support so it's never really shown. China is like 30 years behind in their propaganda sadly. Japan made Shoplifters and it only made people more interested in their country.
>Ip Man, also just okay
Anyone who actually watches all the IP Man films in their entirety is a fricking idiot.
All the fight scenes are on YouTube, just watch that and frick the rest of the fellating bullshit in the movie. Fight scenes are decent.
For me it's the Mike Tyson fight because Donnie Yen went on record multiple times about being scared shitless of Iron Mike and being genuinely concerned Mike would accidentally punch him and absolutely frick him up. And he nearly did, there's a scene in the fight that they left in where Mike is supposed to punch twice and managed to throw a third punch that Donnie barely dodges. They actually treated Mike pretty respectfully with how the fight goes, it ends with the buzzer going off as Donnie is about to kick Mike in the balls but Mike has an uppercut sailing in that would have broken Donnie's jaw. Great fight, well filmed, mandatory watch for any "My superior speed means I'll win!" gays.
Absolutely nothing, and I'm serious. There's a reason why you never hear about Chinese movies, Chinese music, Chinese art, Chinese literature. It either don't exist, or it simply isn't good.
>Hong Kong
Not China. And I swear, as soon as China gets their filthy hands on Hong Kong it's over.
Publicity doesn't necessarily mean quality. But even still, the Three Body Problem was discussed a lot after its adaptation was released on Netflix. I also heard a lot about the Wandering Earth and looking it up, it seems to have done well internationally.
>Wandering Earth
It was so over-the-top and ridiculous that it ended up being a fun flick. The CGI is complete ass though, like something from the 80's
>t. never been to China
I spent two weeks there and it was so easy to get laid even without speaking any mandarin, lent a qt college student my travel pillow on a long distance bus trip, when we arrived she asked if I wanted to get some food using a translate app, fricked her in my hotel 45 minutes later. Good times.
Picked up 4 girls in a fortnight, meanwhile have to put in a shitload of effort to frick a used up hambeast in the west
On the train every third old Chinese guy would be watching some war movie with soldiers brutally killing hundreds of nips per minute, and they were all different movies. It's based propaganda.
>Chinese music, Chinese art, Chinese literature
All of these exist, it's just that they're really old. It's the same with India. They're ancient cultures, their modern stuff is just the scrap of a long drawn out period of cultural stagnation and ossification.
I've found interesting Chinese literature but it's hard to appreciate without an understanding of the cultural context. When every other line is a reference to some parable or idiom that you don't know, the poetry is lost.
I agree, but I think that adds to it. Reaching that level of greatness completely in its own cultural context is very interesting when there's so much cross-cultural communication in the West.
I agree, but I think it's hard to market that to other countries. Western audiences only like foreign writers who explicitly engage with Western culture like Murakami.
True. But then the exotic is an attraction in itself. Plenty of mordernists have taken an interest in Asian art just simply because it offers a completely foreign form and conception.
kek you just don't know what you're talking about. have you ever read 2 words about chinese culture and history?
and no, I'm a sudaca, so I have no personal issues here, but it just hurts when someone is saying something that they clearly know nothing about.
anyone got webms
The problem with China is they just want to copy Hollywood instead of embracing their own culture. I'm sure China has their own rich history and cultural stories to tell in their movies. Instead of just making a Chinese Clone of Top Gun Maverick.
>they just want to copy Hollywood instead of embracing their own culture.
Is that why all their movies are about their own culture, or their own history, or their own mythology.
Seriously have you seen a single mainland chinese movie?
>Is that why all their movies are about their own culture, or their own history, or their own mythology.
Name 5 successful ones made in the last 15 years.
All of them
The Battle at Lake Changjin I & II, The Eight Hundred, Chang'an, Ne Zha
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films_in_China
I don't even know why you'd contest this. China mass producing war films is a joke even among Chinese people.
>The Battle at Lake Changjin I & II
Incredibly historically inaccurate war slop
>Rambo series
Incredibly historically inaccurate war slop
You can't name any successful movies not based around war?
I can, lots of the films I mentioned here
aren't about war
Or you could just open the link I gave you in the last post and click some of the titles
Hong Kong and Taiwan do NOT count. They aren't China. Other anon said to show us *successful* movies from mainland China that focus on Chinese culture. Not copies of Hollywood films. Anything made in the last 15 years. It's really telling that all you can focus on is war.
I'd say films that were well reviewed or well received at film festivals are successful
I also mentioned Ne Zha in my previous post which is a mainland animated film from 2019 about a mythological character
The only thing China knows how to do is kill it's own people so that's not surprising.
>war movie
>war movie about killing Japanese
>war movie about killing Japanese part 2
>war movie about China helping North Korea crush South Korea in Korean War
>Chinese fantasy war movie
I have to say you aren't really proving him wrong.
Where are all the kino movies about Chinese culture? Where are the working man's blue collar Chinese films?
He asked for 5 successful films about Chinese culture, history, or mythology.
You're now excluding war films because... why, exactly? Is war not part of history? Should the Bridge on the River Kwai not be considered a good film because it concerns war? Saving Private Ryan?
How am I proving him right by not retroactively being able to alter my list of films based on the new criteria he has come up with?
To be fair...The USA is all about their war movies. The original criteria was NOT to post war movies. No wannabe copies of American films like Top Gun 2, and to show us unique Chinese cultural films. I'll give you Ne Zha but come on.
>Where are the working man's blue collar Chinese films?
Exactly. Where is all the cool movies about alternative Easteen medicine? Like 100 year old Chinese Ginseng root used to cure cancer.
The original criteria was to post cultural, historical, or mythological films. War is a part of history.
Now the new criteria is: cultural, historical, or mythological films which aren't about war and were "successful" and also released in the past 15 years.
Give me a break man.
Even still, I've mentioned several film festival submissions and noir films which I think are good. Ash is Purest White, Wild Goose Lake, Still Life, Black Coal, Thin Ice.
>inb4 noir doesnt count, gangster films dont count
>inb4 noir doesnt count, gangster films dont count
They don’t. Cope Chinaman
My bad, I'll update the thread when China recreates the entirety of film from scratch with zero foreign influence, inventing new genres and filmmaking techniques the way no country has done in a century.
Are really complaining that you can't post any successful Chinese films that aren't about war? Is that REALLY a big struggle for you??? If someone asks for Japanese kino, do you think they only post World War 2 films or movies about the Russo-Japanese war? Of course not.
I posted half a dozen such films already
>Where are the working man's blue collar Chinese films?
There are a good few. Even recent ones.
I oversaw one in a restaurant, the other day (couldn't catch the title) and was actually surprised how it showed
>Ruthless Chinese capitalist, bad
>Foreman who's very close to his team and tries everything he can so they keep their job even when the company is facing huge financial issues, good
But obviously the biggest blockbusters are action movies, just like in the west.
By the way, where are the Hollywood movies about blue collars? I can't think of any recent ones.
>By the way, where are the Hollywood movies about blue collars? I can't think of any recent ones.
There are some, but I've noticed America mostly uses TV shows to tell blue collar and working class stories. I suppose the format of a TV show allows more time for character driven stories and to show us their lives.
(Youth) 2017
It's also a war movie
I've already watched all of those except Love Like the Galaxy and Mysterious Lotus Casebook. Which one should I watch next? Or maybe Immortal Samsara?
you might be experienced enough to just select your favorite actors and look at their back logs. the YT algo is quite good at recommending long form dramas if you have the past 2 or 3 you've watched saved in your session cookies.
those are imo the best ones from this recent wave of big effort dramas, you could go full slice of life and abandon the fantasy element.
I liked the drama "You Are My Glory".
Sum Ting Wong
Wi Tu Lo
Ho Lee Fuk
Bang Ding Ow
Sucky Sucky fricky fricky long time
To Live
none from the mainland apart from maybe yimou
Top tier unadulterated kino:
>Farewell my Concubine (it's known to be the greatest Chinese movie of all time, but for good reasons)
>The Black Canon (imagine 1984, except realistic and in 1980's China. It's very political but very subtle about it, so you'll have to read between the lines a bit. It's a comedy)
Top tier
>The Dream Factory (feel good comedy, but also subtly political)
>The Red Sorghum (war movie. Scenario is not fantastic, but it's very beautifully shot)
Fun schlock tier
>The Tower of the Ghostly Tribe (action movie with monsters)
>Animal World (the cgi sequences alone are making it worth the watch. It also features Michael Douglas somehow)
In general, the best Chinese movies and series are from the 80s-90s, because it's after Mao's era, where the country starts getting increasingly free, but before the early 2000 when the control of free speech increasingly tight.
It's getting tighter and tighter now.
However more recent movies, like the last two I mentioned, can be fun because they are visibly made by film nerds, who grew up loving and dreaming about Hollywood action movies and somehow got to make their own, with a ridiculously high budget.
I'll add some stuff I watched recently:
Top tier
>Deep Sea (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Sea_(film) crazy beautiful 3D animated film, that puts Pixar to shame)
Good tier
>Mission Moscow (it's a thriller about cops fighting gangster in Moscow, right after the end of the Soviet Union. It's fun and well written. I loved the subtle nods about how the Russian way of quitting communism was the wrong one)
>Wolf Hiding (vengeance kino, around human trafficking in South East Asia)
>all the jokes about chinese people were from 20 years ago
>low IQ boomers and their children still laugh at it
predictable
you're so funnay.
>no natural defenses to taking a direct cumshots to the eye
what did 1-2 billion east/sea asians mean by this?
BIG MONGOL FEET
CUTE ELF FACE
White mans kryptonite
Nirvana in Fire
Longest Day in Chang'an
Ode to Joy
Once Upon A Time In China starring Jet Li. It's probably the best kung fu movie of all time.
China has film making talent, but it's hard to make past their censorship boards for theatrical release. Off top of my head To Live (1994) was only released in NA in theaters, but this was considered one of the best Chinese movies ever made.
That's why they keep making war movies about killing Japs, that's the easiest subject to get approved
those eyes are beautiful
Only movies with Jackie chan or shows. China is falling apart and fricking over its people. China is doomed doooooomed
The 2000's called, they want their talking points back anon
Too bad most chinese women would never date a gweilo
Unless you're a rich chinese man, you'll probably never have a chance at getting a qt chinese gf
sure chang
whatever you need to tell yourself, keep smoking that opium
DXWs weibo
Who's this?
chinese d-list actress and most beautiful woman alive duan xiaowei
great movie
i could have saved her btw (after she turns 18 not pic related)
anything from pic related
i remember watching a triad film called Election, it was serious but they lost the green jade baton or something so the guy couldn't be elected the new leader of the triads, that bit was quite amusing.
Chungking Express
2046
I would add to this M Butterfly and The Last Emperor, but they're technically Western productions.
>free thinker
>ate hook line and sinker all the american state department anti-china propaganda
ITT
>muh state dept
I remember when russia invaded ukraine and happened to click on some nick fuentes clip. he mentioned the state dept probably 15 times in 1.5 minutes. after that all the browncels, chinkcels, /misc/cels, ruscels and leftytroons started to repeat this nonstop in all their posts.
it used to be the pentagon and DOD that was the ultimate boogeymen for these types, but I guess DOD still has some right-wing connotations so it was easier to replace it with the state dept that way you can get magatards to join in with the leftytroons and browncels too.
why do random chinks mog all kpop idols?
Most recent Chinese movies I watched were the Detective Chinatown Trilogy.
Very Hollywood style blockbuster movies that were very entertaining
China sucks wiener.
