So there i am sitting on the corner of rex and St. Mary with Trey talking about philosophical matters when i see Scnaars and Graden heading down the street. As they get closer i see them cut off into the parking lot of follets and lose them. Apparently they did not see me. Apparently they didn’t even walk to the corner of Rex street, but fine i’m a better man. I ate lunch with Trey.<\/p>\n

HLF and I watched a movie yesterday called Infernal Affairs. It was a very interesting film. It was the jappanese interpretation of a cop drama. It was a very beautifully told story. The story follows two characters through their life. And there is this symetry of storytelling that holds very well. During the tale there were two spies in both camps, the police force and the triad gang. They worked off of each other during the breadth of the storyline in a very symmetrical fashion.<\/p>\n
HLF and I got into a discussion about movie imports and how we tend to get branded version of movies. <\/p>\n
My idea is that the movie industry of america filters out the various movies we recieve from other countries, at least in respect to popular films.
\nBrief generalization
\n1) Britain crime flicks (shifting scenes, rapid cuts, etc.)
\n—-Any Guy Richie film
\n—-Millions
\n2) British comedy films
\n—-Monty Python of course
\n—-Full Monty
\n3) China Martial Arts Films
\n—-Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
\n—-Hero
\n—-Kung fu hustle
\n4) Jappanese Anime (this is the only category that is completly original to this coutnry)
\n—-I can list tons, but i’m sure you recognize anime for anime.<\/p>\n
Anyways my point is that if you don’t search for films of another country, this is the products your going to recieve from the basic filter.<\/p>\n
My argument is weak, but i’m thinking i can take it further to suggest that we are imprinting stereotypical images onto other cultures. If you are from china, you must know martial arts right? If your british you should be funny eh?<\/p>\n
I wonder how many people believe these unconsciously. Who knows i might be completely off base here.<\/p>\n
I am absoleutly positive about this though, every culture approaches art in a different manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
