For our first video of 2021, we'll return to Chinese cinema. Initially, I wanted to cover the undisputed worst Chinese animation ever made, The Autobots, and talk about its fascinating behind the scene stories.
But there are also a few Chinese films that came out in late 2020 that felt like I should talk about when it is still mostly fresh in people's memory.
The contenders are:
- The Autobots (Plagiarism in China: The lack of regulation enforcement produces shameless director, while the general public felt angry and ashamed. Also I'll be swearing)
- Jiang Ziya (Sequel to the highest-grossing Chinese animated film, with a mixed reception. We can learn from the good and the bad)
- The Eight Hundred (A war film that impressed both Mainland and Taiwanese audience. How finding common grounds can unite people)
- Leap (A biographical film about China's volleyball team, and a masterclass showcase of acting: Gong Li's transformation is impressive. But equally impressive are all the athletes who play as themselves)
So, which one would you prefer to hear? Cast your vote!
Again, vote for all the options you prefer!
