I was stuck on a plane years ago and it was the only reason I watched a transformers movie. The back half of the movie had the American villain CEO travel to China, where the pure and correct Chinese CEO discovered the evil corruption of the American CEO, and reluctantly saved the American CEO as he immediately switched from "movie villain" to "cowardly child."
I never did look up if I'd watch an international version, and whether the US release was different, but pandering was quite surprising.
- JohnTHaller 3mo agoHollywood movies pandering to China often results in movies that are parodies of themselves
- throw2827363 3mo agoI seen the reverse too, where the American hero teaches "the natives" how to act. Does that mean Hollywood was pandering to the American audience?
- everdrive 3mo agoWell obviously yes. I never said that was good either.
