What was up with everyone on the crew learning Mandarin so they could speak with Ziyi Zhang's character? Wouldn't it make sense that she just learn english? Everyone else spoke english, what makes the oriental lady so special that she can't learn english and save everyone valuable gigs of memory.
What the fuck were they trying to convey with this? Was netflix trying to bow down to the chinese?
Globalism propaganda is heavily directed towards english speaking people.
She knew english, she understood people when they were taking to each other.
For whatever reason she refused to speak it or be addressed in it.
>logic in this movie
this movie was complete shit. best part was the guy loosing his arm.
>she refused to speak it or be addressed in it.
Based. A true patriot.
well native english speakers are fucking lazy when it comes to learning other languages
Unlike the west, the chinks arent cucks
so because of that, everyone had to learn mandarin? What a cunt. If the crew had spent the time they were trying to learn mandarin on doing their jobs, then disaster would have been avoided
This has been annoying me as well, just seems really pandering and selfish for a character to understand but not speak it.
>Mandarin ever becoming a global language
This and Firefly. I'm no linguist, but Mandarin is objectively very difficult and time consuming to learn. You can learn multiple Romantic or Germanic languages in the time it takes to learn Mandarin.
>chinks arent cucks
> literally communists
This
But the problem with the future is that there will be like 20% chinks in total world pop.
Chinese will be widely known
It's the writing that's shit and time consuming to learn. Unless you're tone deaf, the language itself isn't a nightmare like Finnish.
I remember something about sentence structure being super complicated. Either way, the death of Esperanto is a real shitty thing. There was an experiment which took French kids and saw how long it took them to learn a language on a conversational level.
>German: 2000 hours
>English: 1500 hours
>Italian: 1000 hours
>Esperanto: 200 hours
Finnish is an asiatic language idiot
Not everything is politics you paranoid idiot.
>Esperanto dying down
It's not like it wasn't artificial and not widely known
I only watched a single documentary on it years ago, but I remember something about how just as it was about to gain momentum it got pulled down really hard by something out of its control.
>People easily learn a made up language based on the language they're already speaking
Really makes you think.
I don't remember it gaining momentum ever.
Share the documentary plox
>learning other languages
Imagine speaking anything besides english
I felt like such an embarrassment when I worked with a team from Germany. No one on that team spoke fewer than 3 languages, and many spoke 4 or 5.
It was specifically a communist language so fuck off
