China has a lot more financial hold on Hollywood investment than Korea. And yes it is erroneous to lump all Asians together especially in the realm of filmmaking. And if there is any place that should be making amazing films (because they have in the past) it actually is China but as I posted before, current political climate and censorship prevents creativity. Korean filmmaking is at a high point, and Parasite isn’t even the best representation. Just had a story that connected to Westerners.
Japan, China, Korea are each very different and they make up East Asia...Southeast Asia is a totally different place. Angelina Jolie made and directed a nice movie in Cambodian called ‘First They Killed My Father.’ It’s on Netflix.
......”current political climate and censorship prevents creativity”.... (in China)
Why would China spur creativity in their country when they can and do actively send their people ,with those interests, to ours where they can use them to their advantage in spewing their soft propaganda before our audiences....which is part of their agenda for our country.
They’ve already got Hollywood singing their praises who are too stupid to recognize the political game in play..
