Are South Korean movies made for autistic people? Why is everything so fucking melodramatic? Does not having any culture whatsoever mean your country produces shocking shit that's only a step slightly above soap operas?
>The Host >Snowpiercer >I Saw the Devil >Oldboy >My Way >Taegukgi >The Man from Nowhere
Learn to portray some smaller fucking emotions and stop making murder porn for fucks sake.
>watches melodramatic movies >complains about melodrama
Adrian Powell
B-but I like Snowpiercer
Nolan Hughes
asian actors don't understand emotions so they go way the fuck overboard like jim carey in liar liar
Brandon Peterson
Yeah I honestly don't know where cultural relativism begins and ends with asian actors. Why is it so difficult to portray feelings without going on the nose? It's almost as if they're doing pastiche of western feelings.

>he doesn't into The Host
Luis Cook
english sub rip of train to busan fucking when
Lincoln Mitchell
>The Man from Nowhere >melodramatic
Adrian Cruz
>le no american culture argument
Eli Perez
This is why I watch anime, it actually tends to have more subtlety than most Nip live action.
Austin Davis
Really? In the anime I've watched, all the VAs sound the same and they all speak the same exaggerated mannerisms, especially the women characters and their "kawaii agu" bullshit.
Blake Williams
LOL
Jason Robinson
Old boy was only good because of that brainfuck ending.

SK movies are influenced more by SK television, that is, SK people prefer an abundance of romance dramas which have large amounts of melodrama. It ties into SK pop culture and all the popular pop music that comes out of SK, but SK is really trying to imitate the west.

>anime >subtle KEK
Noah Miller
Why? Americans have already produced more culture than the South Koreans. More, in fact, than you can fit into your little head.
Charles Howard
Don't watch Kanon then.
Adam Adams
>he dosen't appreciate the Korean auteurs sense of heightened reality
Chase Martin
Why are westerners so afraid to show emotions?
Camden Allen
He's right tho We Turks have the same problem. Every emotion has to be made obvious as fuck for our autistic audiences.
At least Asians have the excuse that Western facial expressions were goreign to them
Carson Russell
The were never a nation of romantics. That's why most asians, mostly Japan look to France for that.
Parker Thomas
This, he should read it. It's good.
Brayden Flores
*were = west was
Nolan Rivera
Everything has to be subtle to be conceived as immersible or realistic because most things in Western media hit you over the head with how over the top and in your face it is.
Reality TV is a good example.
Joseph Wood
its a result of the media and theatre, american movies 50+ years ago weren't any different
Noah Long

William Gonzalez
There sure must be a fair number of high quality Japanese TV dramas that I don't currently know about then. Could you point me in the right direction?
Luke Wright
Men shouldn't cry in public. No wonder Asians are beta cucks.
Jonathan Harris
Asians are autistic.
Jaxson Jackson
Just finished "The Wailing" I'm a little confused. Was the ghost in white the main cops daughter? fucking 10/10
Mason Perez
>Melodrama
I think the word you're looking for is "drama."
It only seems like melodrama because what passes for drama in the Michael Bay movies you love, is something like, what, Spike is really sad his girlfriend might fall off a building, but then she doesn't.
Robert Hughes
The ghostgirl was the guardian spirit of the village
I'd felt more emotion of a mortar shell blows his intestines and he died covered in shit.
Owen Hernandez
Also Why the fuck did the Shaman puke everywhere and become a bad guy at the end?
Ian Hughes
He was being controlled by the evil spirit aka the old man
James Torres
Also you might aswell watch this, it explains some cultural points we would never pick up on, so the movie makes a bit more sense youtube.com/watch?v=lxjp2YIk798
Adam Jackson
Thank you kind sir.
Jeremiah Clark
>using Ikuhara as an example for subtlety in anime the man spent too much time in theatre and seems to think plastering jarring symbolism all over the place is the peak of artistic achievement.
Zachary Foster
Just saw assassination the other day. Fantastic movie once again out of k town
Cameron Morales
What? Oldboy was awesome!!
Jaxson Rogers
He's shitloads better about it than Anno and actually conceives of his characters as people instead of billboards to plaster psychoanalysis of his own problems on.
Liam Brooks
Is it true that some asian cultures don't have a notion of subtext? Asian directors not inspired by the west always seem to treat symbolism as the height of form, even though they go to every possible length to explain what the symbols mean
Ayden Scott
try watching some Asian films that aren't the massive action films if you want more subtle acting. pic related
