Innovative America? virtuous Japan? Slutty China?

I have to say this question has been asked for a long time. When watching "The Social Network", the Chinese female students who appeared at the dance looked like two prostitutes. Of course, these two actresses also had a typical Chinese woman's face in the eyes of the Chinese. These two are obviously not pretty, with such small eyes, dark skin, and heavy makeup, but Westerners do like this kind of face (I don't want to say it's an oriental face, because I don't see it very often in my daily life. This kind of face, on the contrary, is seen most in American movies), debauched behavior, and scantily clad. But Japanese women's faces are clean on the contrary, such as the heroine in this film, or the eldest lady in "Wolverine 2", these Japanese women are simply the perfect upgrade of Chinese classical women, they have all the advantages of classical women , virtuous and virtuous, but at the same time they also have progressive ideas, strive to fight the injustice of fate, and dare to express themselves in a "moderate" manner.

I don't know if it's because Chinese students abroad are really slutty or because our social system is different so westerners wear tinted glasses.

Let's talk about the United States in this film. The director wants to create a MacArthur who is easy-going and dares to act as an iron-blooded soldier, which also represents the entire United States to a certain extent. For example, after being told to "do not make eye or body contact with the emperor", MacArthur still looked directly at the emperor and insisted on shaking hands, which is to tell the world: meaningless etiquette does not need to be observed. So what etiquette makes sense? Answer: American etiquette. Because after the scene of MacArthur and the emperor meeting, General Phyllis walked out of the house and enjoyed a standard American soldier's gun salute to a senior officer.

So this film gave it three points, because of the little bit of his history that has been spiced up and adapted. Although this history has been seriously distorted, we can still see some clues from it.

    A political film in a romantic film, a romantic film in a political film, it is best to make it nothing.
