Flying to the Moon: How Chinese-Style Movies Cross East and West

Summer 2022-03-21 09:02:59

East and West, tradition and modernity, reality and fantasy, attachment and letting go, loneliness and reunion...

In this movie, you won't see the original Chang'e flying to the moon, you will see a unique Chinese style.

Because this is a film full of "splicing", just like the title song of the film is sung alternately in Chinese and English, feel it:

let you live forever
endless love
Always and forever
In this heart of mine
Longer than the heavens
And the stars that shine
lovesickness
wish to be with you
I am yours I am yours Forever

If you can get used to this "dramatic change", this movie is full of charm. In addition to myths and stories, love and family are languages ​​that can cross things. Feifei lost her dear mother and Chang'e lost her beloved descendants. They all want to restore the unchangeable past, but even if the heart is broken, the lost time can't be restored. Fortunately, there has been. True love can be eternal, turning into memories to give us the strength to move forward.

Many netizens complained that this is not the Chang'e in their hearts. However, it is not easy for Chinese-style films to satisfy the tastes of Eastern and Western audiences at the same time. At least over the moon can bring spliced ​​Chinese elements to show Oriental beauty to foreign audiences, so that they can understand the Mid-Autumn Festival. As profound as Thanksgiving, Jiangnan Water Village is as intoxicating as Venice, and its merits are boundless.

In the not-too-distant future, the Chinese-language film market will surpass the size of North America. Relying on the huge market and talents, I hope that more Chinese films will ride the wind and waves around the world with the beautiful Chinese culture.

    1. What a god, there is actually a square dance with the original Chinese sound on the moon... 2. When Chang'e appeared on the stage, Chang'e was launched like an Astro Boy and like a rocket. I laughed so hard. 3. Take the animation of Chang'e's story as an example, it is indeed a good starting point to educate everyone to continue moving on whether it is love or family affection. This film did not waste the IP of Chang'e.

    The Hollywood fast food of cultural appropriation + racial prejudice is also trying to be released in mainland China, just like the Chinese fast food in the United States intends to go back to China and try to sell it...
