Why don't they produce anything good anymore?

>>211486689 (OP)
Their goverment getting too involved in what is haram and what is halal to show to their people

>>211486689 (OP)
Have you actually tried digging into their cinema? Not just watching whatever their biggest box office releases are but film festival entries and the like

>>211486689 (OP)
They do, you just don't get to hear about it

The murder any director showing the country in a bad light. So there's only obedient morons left.

>>211486899
Nice American propaganda

>>211486949
No, I'm actually European and I literally did the tiniest bit of what >>211486793 said

China does, they just don't give a shit about promoting anything to a foreign audience like Koreans and Japs do and most Westerners refuse to watch anything Chinese these days for political reasons. (this is a big thing, never been able to talk about c-dramas on plebbit because normies fucking HATE China, yet 2 threads down will be jerking off to J-drama trash)

Lots of Chinese stuff critiques their country, it's just more nuanced than outright self-loathing. Why would you even want that to begin with?

>>211487070
inb4 muh propaganda *watches another popcorn flick sponsored by CIA*

>>211487070
>they just don't give a shit about promoting anything to a foreign audience
no wonder because everything you linked is boring historical garbage that no one will watch anyway

>>211487127
>history is boring
You are an absolutely soulless bugman

>>211486689 (OP)
When you watch those videos about how unsafe their work practices are, you get the impression that their film industry runs on the same level of care. Cranking out products that are just good enough but cheap.

>>211487134
historical movies are boring as fuck, reading about history itself is not boring, learn the difference dumbass

>>211487145
That's insanely fucking stupid, movies are about cool stories and there have obviously been cool stories in history.

>>211487127
For a good "modern" soap opera, Minning Town is a supremely comfy, essentially live action version of Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley lol.

and none of them are asian sorry

they do you're just too racist and brainwashed by the american state department to know any better

>>211487169
Journey to the West is pretty epic.

>>211487179
ah yes and wukong and the 3 kingdoms i never heard that one before, this is why no one will ever care about asian history

>>211486689 (OP)
>anymore
They never did. Hong Kong is not China.

>>211487070
Anything that isn't some permutation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

>>211486689 (OP)
too busy taking over the world

>>211487160
They also have a reality show where they take famous Chinese celebrities with their kids to rural areas and have them help farmers with various tasks.

It's nice that they're still so country pilled even with massive cities.

>>211486793
>>211487070
Pic related is the only purely mainland Chinese kino I’ve watched and I’m pretty sure that the guy who made it is a dissident now.

>>211487179
That's the limit of Chinese creativity, isn't it? Journey to the West, Monkey King spinoff, Three Kingdoms, Judge Bao, and Ne Zha. It's always something related to these. That's all they ever make because they're mindless drones.

>>211487300
>I’m pretty sure that the guy who made it is a dissident now.
He released a movie in 2024

You guys take this dissident shit too far man. It's not the Maoist era. The only actual dissidents are guys like Ai Weiwei who spend decades trying to piss off the government.

Last good Chinese movie

>>211487070
>going to Reddit in the first place
You deserve it

posted this short list in the last china bashing thread, you dumbasses will never actually watch them but whatever maybe someone will check them out

Under the Hawthorn Tree
To Live
Better Days
Dead Pigs
UFO in Her Eyes
Not One Less
Xiu Xiu: The Sent-Down Girl
Lighting Up the Stars

>>211487338
Did they get rid of his embalmed corpse yet?

>>211487300
The worst that can happen is the film doesn't pass censorship.
Still a big problem economically, that is why they always try to avoid it.

>>211487356
Yeah, I won't. I know China has a film and TV industry, but it's basically just to satisfy the domestic market because they need something in place of mostly not allowing foreign media in the country. That's where the entire Hong Kong film industry went to, and we've not gotten kino since. It's entirely slop.
>but but but they don't market to the West and that's why you never heard of them!
Good foreign movies break through borders and don't need catered advertising. The fact nothing bubbles out of China speaks volumes.

>>211487070
你好吗 wise 中国人, are you chinese? how do u know this based kino, I need to get in contact w u and become china god

>>211487309
What about The Three Body Problem? That's considered a cornerstone of sci-fi now isn't it?

>>211487437
plenty of those "bubbled through" what do you think I traveled to china to find a list of movies? no I found out about them because they have motion on the English language western internet. You're just a propaganda pawn for the us state department, good job.

>>211487499
That asshole book series destroyed my ability to find good dark forest theory content because retards think that guy invented it.

>>211487437
>The fact nothing bubbles out of China speaks volumes
Things do bubble out though. A Chinese film, Resurrection, just won an award at Cannes. I haven't seen it but I have watched their 2018 entry Ash is Purest White which was nominated for Palme d'Or. Even by mainstream standards Three Body Problem has been huge.

>>211487309
>Why do Chinese movies involve Chinese culture

How much an evil, subversive piece of shit can you be? You're literally on par with a Jew that complains white movies involve too much Christmas and Easter.

>>211487693
That isn't Chinese culture. The Chinese do not have culture because they obliterated all of it in the revolution.

>>211487831
That sucks. The culture depicted in >>211487345 was one of extreme humility and respect. I came away from this movie thinking that late 19th century Chinese peasants seemed like nice enough people. They should bring it back

>>211487831
They speak the same language, celebrate the same festivals, eat the same food, pray to the same gods, read the same poets and philosophers and writers. It's all the fucking same.

>>211487892
Are you Chinese?

>>211487908
No but I speak some

>>211486689 (OP)
They aren't good at creativity

>>211488744
Isn't it because all art and media should glorify the CCP either directly or by allegory?

>>211488841
It's publicly acceptable to criticize the cultural revolution there. One of their more famous novelists does it all the time.
The issue is more nuanced than people realize.

The only good stuff was from HK and you will not see any more true category 3 stuff from there anymore since it get censored to be released in the mainland. And of course the filmmakers has to be more careful not to be out of work or even worse imprisoned

>>211486689 (OP)
They never did.
Chinese film is all historical propaganda crap.

>>211486689 (OP)
They're a communist shithole.
What did they ever produce except for mass famine and slavery?

>>211486689 (OP)
>Something new gets invented
>Magically find "proof" days later that China actually invented it 5000 years ago but it never caught on
Every fucking time. I'm sick of them.

>>211490426
all of the rare earth minerals that keeps the worlds industry going as well as most of the products america consumes. what does the US produce besides endless seething?

>>211487175
>>211487070
Why do workers in china have lower living standards than Americans then?

>>211490484
because they’ve been speed running the american industrial revolution and are still doing it. for all the cope about their living standards, there are functionally no homeless people. america cannot even begin to imagine.

>>211490455
>all of the rare earth minerals
That's just luck that it's in their backyard
That's like saying Africa is creative with technical knowledge because they have minerals

>what does the US produce besides endless seething?
They produce federal reserve notes which china willingly and foolishly buys
Why are the Chinese such cucks?

>>211490455
>what does the US produce besides endless seething?
4chan which you are using right now

>>211490517
>there are functionally no homeless peopl
Lmao yes there are
Ive seen plenty of videos of masses of Chinese beggars

Tell why me average worker wages in Taiwan are 3.5x higher than that of China?

>>211490562
china is the only one willing to produce them despite everyone having them, including the US, and China increasingly holding US bonds and supplanting IMF loans in EMEA is not the win you think it is. the more US debt china controls the more leverage china has over the US.

>>211490569
you mean a copy of a japanese image board created because they couldn’t post lolicon on something awful? why can’t americans innovate?

>>211490622
Image boards are just copies of forums, the internet was created by America

>>211490585
americans brag about their wages and then turn around and cry when their CEOs ship all their industry overseas or give the jobs to browns because they don't want to pay them those wages. china has been bringing its own people up, the western system of economic zones literally could never ever enrich its native population over the desire for cheap labor.

>>211487070
>Historically accurate armour
Why in fuck can't western shows do this?!

>>211492346
western countries are already richer than all the asian garbage continent and they have been like that for centuries lel

>communists
>produce anything

>>211494255
and they’re flooded by browns while everyone complains they can’t find jobs or afford housing / food, and now exist in a perpetual state of culture war. good thing the number on the chart is bigger than china’s though.

>>211494400
>and they’re flooded by browns
asians are brown, all of them
> everyone complains they can’t find jobs
who complains
>afford housing / food
western countries eat more calories and have more housing than asian countries
>and now exist in a perpetual state of culture war
ok poltard

>>211494606
i’m sorry if your head is in the sand, but this board and most boards are filled with endless seething about the state of US culture and the economy at large. have a nice life.

>>211494311
>most of the components in everything you use on a daily basis
nothing personnel tho

They never produced anything good. It was Hong Kong who produced kino for decades.

>>211494707
black people produced the cotton back in the day too, means shit

>>211494662
Boy I wonder why a bunch of people are protesting nationwide this weekend and what the conditions were that led to that.

>>211494748
It meant a lot, because it’s what bootstrapped the American economy. It made sense to do it domestically, it was suicide to do outsource your manufacturing workforce.
