Modao San is a cottage

In the previous paragraph, there was an Indian F4 video that was quite popular on the Internet, adding irrelevant "transliteration" subtitles to an MTV video in the early 1990s. In addition to "deconstruction", Xiaodian Li probably has an emotion similar to "Ala Haining is the top three in the village of Binong". Although it can't rise to the height of racism. However, for most Chinese people, India is probably exactly what the news network said: backward industry, large population, caste system, dilapidated cities, lazy people, eating with the right hand, and defecate with the left... It's really worth it "Asan" nickname.

This kind of self-confidence in the country is no exception in the film industry. We have always regarded ourselves as the most important film market in Asia. We are the first in Asia in terms of the number of films, and even if they are not inferior to Korea in terms of quality, they are not inferior to Japan. Even if some people think of the Abbas family, they may not be able to think of Bollywood, which is far away in the subcontinent, "remaining on its own feet" - a place with a name that must be a copycat.

Unfortunately, Bollywood has long since stepped out of the "caravan" era. In 2002, "Once Upon a Time in India" was shortlisted for the best foreign language film at the Oscars. This "Dostana" is the same, the protagonist is sexy enough, the shots are playful enough, the colors are bright enough, even the jokes are not shocking, and the standard business process should have everything. Except for a few occasional Indian-style singing and dancing passages (not separated from the plot, although I don't understand it, but it's really not unpleasant to get used to), other aspects are completely the style of Hollywood's first-line youth films.

Along with several domestic films about love this year, none of them can beat Asan: "Peach Blossom Luck", "Love Call 2" and others have all lost the game, which is terrible; It's bad; if you're the one, everything else is good, but unfortunately the twilight and copper smell are a bit bigger.

It is said that Bollywood has a lot of restrictions on filming: the audience is just like a song and dance masterpiece, the threshold of cultural differences is not lower than that of the Himalayas, and the film market is only one acre and three points; The last Pakistan, which is always against each other, is only allowed to report good news and not bad news in terms of policy, and it must also reflect the good situation of India's modernization drive. However, in Bollywood, the shanzhai has a standard, and the shanzhai has a style, leaving the heaven and the country behind.

The tortoise's luck, or the hare's fault?
