Highly recommend "10 Years" which captures how HK society views the near future when the Mainland presses their influence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Years_(2015_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Years_(2015_film) This is allegedly caused China to block Apple iTunes after carrying "10 Years" in their catalog. http://www.smh.com.au/world/china-blocks-apple-itunes-and-ibook-stores-after-launch-of-ten-years-20160423-godgyz.html http://www.smh.com.au/world/china-blocks-apple-itunes-and-ib...

China also affects Hollywood movies whom self-censor in order to not offend Chinese censors.

  That is correct. Instead of the west uplifting the world, we are instead abetting the worst and least common denominator for human rights all for money.

  Games as well. It's rumored that Call of Duty MW2 originally had China as antagonist.

> captures how HK society views I'm not sure if you realize that is a work of fiction based on one person's opinion, which hardly reflects the view of the "HK society" that you so grandiosely claimed. Should I take the Hunger Games seriously as capturing how Western society views the near future?

  Are you saying The Hunger Games isn't a valid, as well as popular, commentary on wealth inequality and Western militarism?
  - eyedeally 9y ago
    No. I'm saying Hunger Games isn't a representation of how the "Western society" as a whole views the collective future.

  little trivia re Western: Hunger games is a remake of the Japanese movie Battle Royale based on the book by Japanese author :) (but of course not arguing with Hunger Games movie itself as a very western movie with very western visuals, I understand what you mean)
