The Russian (the former Soviet Union) films I have seen, such as Varvana, The Country Teacher, portrayed aestheticism and dedication; The Dawns Here Are Quiet is also a story of patriotism and aestheticism. "Lost in the Tomb" is still a rendition of patriotism.
Don't expect Chinese filmmakers to be able to tell these stories. It's not that Chinese filmmakers are not hardworking or smart enough, but that Chinese filmmakers don't have such a cultural environment.
In order to expand the nation, the Russian Tsar Peter the Great went to Sweden in Weifu to learn shipbuilding skills. His identity was a shipbuilder; the Chinese emperor in Weifu visited flowers and asked willows, or did things that should have been done well in the court but did not do well. .
When it was the Russians' turn to tell stories, there were many masters, Gogol, Tolstoy, Chekov-----does China have such masters?
As for Chinese filmmakers, you can't even expect too much! This is why the best realm of Chinese movies is the funny movies. There is no such culture as Lunar New Year movies in the world, but China does. This is the story behind the story.
