    Accented Cinema - Episode 52
    This is not Cars. In fact, the movie looks nothing like the poster. This is The Autobots, the most shameless Chinese movie ever made. And today, I want to show you the story in and outside of this film.

And he only now apologise 15 years later because a new law is being enacted on Jan 1st 2021, so he apologises one day before that law can penalise him.

    As an Indian, I share these feelings about our industry as well. However, as an Indian who is also a Psychologist, I wonder if apologies are so rare in our cultures because the other thing that is super common is being unforgiving and never ending shaming. So apologising here, feels like losing and dying forever. We can soften up on the shaming and the increase the encouragement on apologies being accepted

      For most part it is an Asia Dilemma that asian culture value "face" in many aspect. Not entirely exclusive to India or China but also the mixed bag of colonized culture smaller asian countries as well, one example will be Japan. As you know that we have watched the mainstream media over the past decades that portrayed Japan as "honorable and apologetic" for smallest mistakes, well that is simply not entirely true because till this date the japanese governments never really apologize anything for their past warcrimes during WW2. Recently they claimed to had "formally apologize" to Korea, but then after that they went on to committed independence congratulatory money controversy. Japan pays Philippines to keep quiet about Japans warcrimes, remove them from their history books and to remove their comfort women statues. Korea isn't ever going to do that. Japan does this type of propaganda all over the world, even Germany. People underestimate how propaganda heavy Japan is because they are more successful at it than China. This is why Japan will never truly consider an ally to the asia region and this is the reason why for the sake of denying their past in order to save "face" to became an american lapdog as we all knows of their position today
      One theory example will be if I bring you to courtroom, your lawyer sit next to you and told you to deny the claims even though when you know is true and the other side is right. If you apologize then the judge will dismiss any of your defense and can easily pass maximum penalty on your side and you will suffer a great fall. The morally thoughts in our mind would be "if we as people apologize and accepted, things will go at ease from that moment onwards" but in reality it will always be "if I apologize, the returns to me will not be as simple because everything I'm trying to be will be morally bankrupt at this point". Psychologially, it's the fear of discounting yourself more than owning to yourself. The shaming part might not be long from the other side rather ownself shaming ownself eternally, thus the other side will bring up the issue whenever you might done something shameful again. Humanity does forgive but never forget

      There's broadly two types of cultures when it comes to this sort of thing: Cultures that punish social misdeeds primarily through shame (informal, external), and cultures where social misdeeds are predominantly punished through guilt (formal, internal). There's advantages and disadvantages to both. A disadvantage of shame cultures is that misdeeds are only punished when they are publicly witnessed, which can bring on the idea that doing bad things is morally fine so long as you get away with doing them.

    I’ve just come across your channel. Very cool perspective for me as a Westerner. I work in the film industry here in America. One point I’d like to make is that American perceptions of Chinese products (at least in my industry) have definitely shifted in the past half decade. Nanguang, the parent company to high-end “Nanlux” LED film lights has made huge waves in the professional space. Also the gimbal manufacturer Zhiyun has become quite popular. Both companies are proudly and openly Chinese top to bottom, which I think is what is shifting attitudes regarding Chinese products in the West. When you make something good and sell it at a competitive price people respect that, regardless of past biases. I own several products from both companies and happily recommend them to others over her.

      Most Chinese anime(talking specifically about them rn) IS very different looking than Japanese. Take Antidote, a BL anime from China, the art style isn't as polished and the animation is awful sometimes. Chinese studios seem to prefer realism when it comes to hairstyles, color palettes and over all anatomy of characters, and Chinese anime also has really weird length of episodes... Like there's this one Chinese show about zombies and one episode can be 40 minutes long while the next will be only 8 minutes long...

    I honestly hope that people won't write off this video on Yang's channel just because it's not as famous outside China - the message here is so important. As an animator in America of Chinese descent but with a passion for anime, I'd spent years trying to wrestle with why animation in China seemed to have no defined style and magnum opus pieces which had international appeal. The times are finally changing with films like Nezha and Legend of Xiaohei, but the fact that so many of these creatively bereft films still occupy the public consciousness is a tremendous obstacle to selling what storytelling is possible out of Chinese artists.
    Even in America, where the same problems lead to new works being deemphasized in Hollywood, they at least have a storied tradition to fall back upon (unwarrantedly) - I can only hope that a few incredible success stories will push Chinese cinema into the kind of golden age we saw in the late 70s in America, and I'm glad that when it happens, Yang will be here to introduce us!

    it's so weird to me that mainland china doesnt like genshin impact for being a knockoff while i've been defending it from racists saying it's a knockoff because it builds so much of its own systems and identity on top of the basic botw aesthetic. i've even been playing it in chinese because it's so rare i get to play a game with my own culture in it. i'd totally understand if they disliked its gacha though

    • @AccentedCinema
      @AccentedCinema  3 роки тому +456

      One common reason for the hate is because in China, Genshin was advertised more as an alternative to BotW for people without a Switch. It highlights all the similarities instead of showing off the original systems. The game is proud of its similarities, and people did not like that.

    • @manticoraus
      @manticoraus 3 роки тому +78

      Calling it the BOTW aesthetic feels false. It intentionally apes stuff we associated with Ghibli was was common and cliche with that studio was new. And is intentionally flashier. Now not liking it, that's legit. As feels BOTW but more anime and worse has microtransations, but even then has some good points.

      The games industry is filled with knock offs. Call of Duty started its life as a Medal of Honor knock off, which later down the line lead to Medal of Honor being rebooted as a knock off of Call of Duty 4. I feel the term "knock off" is a bit disingenuous, as a game that borrows heavily from another can still be a good game. Microtransactions aside (which are hardly ever good) I think Genshin Impact is a good bit of fun. I liked how they added in the other languages. I play a lot of Japanese games that have subtitles with the voices in Japanese but hearing Korean and Chinese ingame was a unique experience.

      As a Chinese myself addicted to Breath of the Wild, one of my friend in Shanghai got excited about Genshin, I basically threw him a truckload of Breath of the Wild video and got him a used NS to stop him from playing it...A lot of Chinese NS players hate this game, the short clip in this video is actually a gamer smashing his PS4 in front of the Sony stage for advertising Genshin on their console.

    The fact that lots of Chinese folks are bothered or frustrated by Genshin Impact, a game I think is actually not nearly the copycat it initially presents itself to be, says a lot about how frustrated they must be by their perception globally. That game’s pretty great! But while it might not perpetuate the stigma, it certainly didn’t push back against it.

The government's opinions matter much more internationally than democratic countries such as Japan or Taiwan, and it represents what is "mainstream" in China's society.
