But in fact, most of the good American movies we have seen are actually the main theme movies - "The Shawshank Redemption", "Saving Private Ryan", "Notting Hill", "Die Hard" - not all justice triumphs Is it such a "cliché" as evil and true love capture the heart? Why do we always watch with relish?
So some people began to analyze from the script, from the shooting technique, from the publicity skills, from the investment amount... But I think these are not the point, the real point is whether there is a "real sense", in other words, whether we "Believe".
Watching American theme movies, we always "believe". We always believe that as long as the protagonist fights to the death, the big corporations who seek for profit and the corrupt officials who cover up the truth will eventually go bankrupt, and the court will be able to make a just trial; It can be exchanged for the respect of friends and the favor of beautiful women. Humanity, human rights, freedom, justice, justice, love... There is nothing that Americans pursue, but Chinese people hate. Those guys who shout about "China's national conditions" all the time are actually cursing people around the corner: Americans like to eat, and you Chinese are only worthy of eating shit.
In contrast, why is the domestic theme so ugly? Not because of the script, not because of photography, not because of acting, not because of investment... There is only one reason: too fake. A discerning judge? An upright policeman? Fair and honest leadership? The protagonist worked hard and finally made great achievements under the wise decision-making of the leader and the selfless help of colleagues? Stop fucking kidding! We don't believe that such a thing will happen at all. We feel from the bottom of our hearts that Chinese society does not operate like this, so how can we think that China's "main theme" is beautiful.
