What values are promoted in Chinese movies?
Romantic love and soppy sentimentality are the escapism theme as audiences seek fairy tale romances from childhood story of happily ever after.Now modern themes resonate with movie goers like struggle to find a partner due to career driven lifestyle or looks obsessed society leading to weight loss regimen or plastic
surgery enhancement
Then there are the rags to riches fairy tales of glotifying violence and triads of Hong Kong movies.For the heroine the dream partner is a rich ,powerful CEO with flaunting his supercars and branded items.
So its refreshing that down to earth movies on death like the Last Dance or historical greviances like Snow in Midsummer or statelessness issue in Abang Adik is getting box office reception.So scriptwriters,get real and dont sell us dreams that are too good to be true
