In 2019, whether it was Quentin's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" or the "Gentlemen" co-produced by the United Kingdom and the United States, they all targeted Chinese more or less. But if I really want to say insulting China, I go a little too far and compare the truth.
The performance described in the content does not actually have much impact on the domestic Chinese, and it is no problem to laugh it off as a gimmick, but if you put yourself in the position of the overseas Chinese, it will indeed damage the image and interests of the Chinese.
The rise of national power in recent years has exerted strong pressure on many aspects of Europe and the United States. The mainstream media in Europe and the United States, as devout missionaries of the government, use this kind of propaganda method, in fact, it is not fundamentally different from the domestic need to sing popular songs and shoot popular movies in special times.
At its root, it is equivalent to the self-protection strategy of animals in nature, when they are weak, they need a louder voice and a more inflated body to deter opponents. Modern human civilization is of course well versed in this.
Therefore, it is recommended that everyone understand and tolerate the European and American governments enough (the dog's head saves life), and don't be too demanding. At the same time, I hope that filmmakers and audiences can get rid of the dross, take the essence, pay more attention to the work itself, and improve their own shooting and appreciation. Level is the right way.
