Director Roger Postywood handled this film warmly and touchingly, taking care of all the details just right, regardless of technical indicators or artistic indicators, can make the audience feel the delicacy of international standards. What reason do we, as audiences, have to be dissatisfied with a film like this?
However, domestic audiences seem to really not buy it. Although from a movie point of view, "The Children of Yellowstone" is a well-made and value-for-money film anyway, but why is it that Chinese audiences are Not impressed?
Because the movie is called "The Children of Yellowstone", for most Chinese audiences, this story, which is called "Great Love Creates an Immortal Legend", will suddenly appear hypocritical. This kind of great love and legend are Hollywood. Even if there are Chow Yun-fat and Michelle Yeoh in the movie, the audience will still feel a sense of distance psychologically.
A good story should be able to transcend the differences between countries and nations, so as to touch the common humanity deep in the hearts of all people. Even if "The Children of Yellowstone" didn't reach that height, it's working hard in that direction. But for Chinese audiences, even if we can think beyond our own identity and perspective, we still hope that Chinese people and Chinese people's emotions can't be satisfied with the background and the location of props.
In "The Children of Yellowstone", there are precise designs for emotions and plots, for pictures and music, and for everything in the movie. Products under this developed industrial system will meet the emotional needs of some audiences no matter what.
But Chinese audiences will definitely still be willing to watch movies that reflect Chinese sentiments, as long as our movies can provide audiences with the same quality assurance. In an environment of equal business competition, the deepest emotions in Chinese people's hearts must be discovered and moved only by Chinese people. No matter how gorgeous the visual shock is, in the end, it is only a passing glance. Only the throbbing of the heart will always echo in our blood.
