There are large cultural differences in american and chinese film. for example, the concept of face which is VERY important in asian culture is almost always present in Chinese movies, and things which are said outright in american film are often supposed to be understood in Chinese film.
the portrayal of women is different. despite the fact that communism was supposed to bring equality of men and women to China there are still deeply ingrained gender stereotypes that are present in Chinese films. This is true in american film as well, but less so.
Family is often a much more fundamental part of life in China than it is in America therefore it often represents a much bigger part of chinese films. Though this is less true now, a lot of Chinese films seem, well corny to western viewers, the acting seems hammish.
When i watch some horror movie, i found the difference between hollywood-style and asian-style horror film.
in asian style,
it's containing a white-scary-ghost called 'kuntilanak' or something.
the ghost always shows up SUDDENLY.
and it's only appear in a short duration.
the ending is 'odd' for me.
in hollywood style,
maybe it's only about murderer, psychophat with uncanny behaviour.
many violence with blood.
When i watch some romantic movie, i found the difference between hollywood-style and asian-style romantic film.
In Asian style,
it's containing a sing or dance without any reason.
the love screen shows up SUDDENLY.
and it's only appear in a short duration.
the ending is 'funny' for me.
In hollywood style,
maybe it's only about high technology, psychophat with uncanny behaviour (Kiss, Sex).
many intelligence with smart activity.
I like very much science fiction movie that i share with you. Enjoy!
I also like one of Asian movie that I like to share, Enjoy!
