I was in China teaching English when the movie "Kung-Fu Panda" came out. I was surprised at the comments. Most people said something like "I liked the movie but it was unrealistic how easily Panda became a Kung-Fu master." I can't see people in North America coming to the same conclusion.
I think people in the "East" tend to know better than people in the "West" at just how much effort is required to become a master at something.
- kscaldef 17y agoWait, so, an animated kid's movie about animals that talk and do kung-fu has unrealistic plot elements? Say it ain't so!
- rue 17y agoHeh, I think they meant it in the sense of breaking suspension of disbelief required to find the story engaging. Which sort of illustrates the ingrained effort level calculations we make. Perhaps.
- benpbenp 17y agoOr do they just know better the effort required to become a master at kung fu?
