Bollywood’s high production always gives birth to many superhuman actions similar to the death of a speeding car. However, the profound historical background and diverse national culture have benefited the Indian film industry a lot. As a Muslim, Amir Khan has fully displayed his talents in this peculiar land of India.
The English background coupled with the colonial history makes India occupy a very important position in today's world cultural system. On the one hand, the Hindu speculative tradition from Tagore has preserved the essence of ancient Indian culture; on the other hand, the comprehensive docking with the West has made this country more "Left" than China quickly accepted by the British and American societies. While criticizing the boring national films, we should also see that in terms of the proportion of bad films produced, India is the world's unparalleled country of abuse!
However, India has the opportunity to produce some good films for Hollywood that meet Western tastes but do not lose sight of Chinese traditions. There are actually many good movies in China, but whether it’s "Alive", "Farewell My Concubine", or "Diet and Man", "The piano of steel", they all have a strong cultural closure, which may not be accepted by Western society. Under the film market distribution structure, it is impossible to earn box office. In the end, we saw that some directors had to combine with capital, spending a lot of talent and energy on the promotion of bad films such as "Three Shots" and "Promise".
Suddenly one day, we discovered that our director is actually a marketing director, our actors are actually masters of stunts, and our audiences are always moving their feet. Our theater is just a prelude to the Express Hotel, so we have no reason to go. I'm complaining about the upcoming "bad film season". But where is the crux of breaking everything? I am afraid this is not a question that the film industry can answer!
Because, when the most exciting action movies, police movies, political movies, horror movies, and disaster movies are being played around us, we no longer pay attention to what movies we will see at the world's leading fare/revenue ratio. !
