or Japanese for that matter. Those folks take their horror in blood not monsters. What's good for their culture may suck in yours.

Not any more than Brahms wrote Japanese music. Unnatural attempts at westernizing.
- What??? Film is "westernizing?" I guess Peter the Great should have stayed home, too, and stopped Russia from - tinear 08:06:33 10/03/14 (3)
  "westernizing?"
  Your penance: watch the "Old Boy" trilogy whist eating bowls of kimchi.

    I dislike the fake cultures.
    The famous Thai cowboys? No... thank you! :)

    - "Leningrad Cowboys go America" is an hysterical film by Ari Kaurismaki: don't be such - tinear 07:44:47 10/05/14 (1)
      a fuddy-duddy: it's fun! The Thai cowboys, however, was dumb.
      So, you dislike mainland Chinese film, period. Taiwanese. Hong Kong.
      Thai films.
      African.
      Mexican.
      Brazilian.
      And�. Japan. Goodbye Ozu. And a few others "overrated" directors?
      The logic would apply to novels, too, I'm assuming, and modern architecture?
      I'd go further than you.
      I'd say any classical music that isn't German/Austrian must be discounted...
      - Heck, I would certainly discount the Chinese classical music :-) - Victor Khomenko 14:27:30 10/05/14 (0)

        I guess you missed my point entirely. I was talking about the Korean garbage, ultra-violent films made to mimic the Western ones. There is nothing Korean in those films, besides the actors and scenery. If you feel the Devil is in the same category as Ozu - be my guest, but to me one is an authentic work of art, and the other - pop culture trash.
