It seems that CCP with make it hard to view foreign movies, but people prefer them nevertheless or even more than before. Forbidden fruit at work? Or some other factor, like attempts to scale up production of movies drags quality down.
My father was a big fan of The Beatles while living in USSR. He hunted records (as vinyl so copies of copies on magnetic tapes) and listened them all the time, I still remember them all. I think that problems with acquiring records made it even more interesting for him.
- Bimos 4y agoChinese here. It is true that in some intervals every year, only locally made movies are played in cinema. I agree it is a bad move, too. But I believe the reason is to help local movie industry to grow better. In April, we are rerunning an old Conan movie, an old Slam Dunk, as well as Titanic. We love good movies no matter who made, just like people in any countries. But western movie industry are really decreasing. The last new western movie I watched is Avatar 2, which sucks. On the other hand, local movies do improve in many aspects. The stories are good; there are some good jokes and there are always some (our) political views expressed explicitly or implicitly. Just like those good old Hollywood movies. I'm proud to see that. We don't prefer local movies, but we also don't hate them. Most of us will choose whichever with better quality. And the most important thing is: yes, we do have the right to choose (at least most of the time). So in my opinion, stop making excuses and try hard to make better movies.
