Chinese War Film Out Performs Bond and Marvel Films

By infostormer -October 17, 20210

A Chinese war film called “The Battle at Lake Changjin” about a military victory over American troops during the Korean War, has raked in $633 million and has out performed the new James Bond and Marvel films.

BBC:

The biggest movie in the world right now is not the latest Bond film No Time To Die or even Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

It’s a Chinese propaganda film about the 1950s Korean War, centred on a story of Chinese soldiers defeating American troops despite great odds.

In just two weeks since its release, The Battle at Lake Changjin has made over $633m (£463m) at the box office. This puts it far ahead of Shang-Chi’s global earnings of $402m, and in just half the time.

It is set to become China’s highest-grossing film ever.

Its success is good news for China’s pandemic-affected film sector as Covid forced cinemas to shut and reopen multiple times.

It is even better news for the state, which experts say appears to have nailed a formula of making propaganda appeal to the masses.

But for Hollywood looking in from the outside, the immense popularity of a local film like this could mean even more challenges ahead as it struggles to gain ground in China – the biggest film market in the world.

I find it funny that the BBC refers to this movie as a Chinese propaganda film. Would that mean that all of the Hollywood pro-American war movies were American or more accurately Jewish propaganda films? The answer is yes, but their aim is to present this Chinese film in a negative light by referring to it as propaganda.

Whatever the case, this is an interesting story because it highlights how Hollywood’s cultural influence is in massive decline. It is a shadow of what it once was, mostly because the movies they have put out have gotten increasingly worse over the years. Also because of the virus hoax, few movies are being made and the ones that are being made offer nothing original or interesting.

I just found out today that another Batman movie is coming out which is insane to me. There’s already been like 100 Batman movies that have been put out. Even this random guy on Twitter doesn’t get understand what’s up with this new Batman film.

Hollywood was never able to make any sort of meaningful entry into China. All the “woke” movies that were effective at brainwashing a segment of White people in the West, never gained any sort of cultural importance in China. The failure of the recent Star Wars films in China is just one example of this.

Knowing how popular this film has been in China, it actually makes me interested in seeing it.

China is poised to be the economic and cultural superpower of the 21st century. The popularity of this new war film is just a sign of what’s to come.

Comment: Hollywoods’ Satanic Films Are BORING! Hollywood is NOTHING more than the Propaganda Tentacle of the Illuminati (Satanic) Octopus Choking us with Wars, War Debts, CIA Media Lies, MKUltra Destroying Millions of Lives, CIA’s Monarch Project Destroying Millions More & the Rothschild ZIONISTS & Rockefeller’s Destroying American Culture, Health and Elections Using Their Bagman Soro’s money to corrupt our elections. They are One Huge Talmudic Tribe of Creepy Satanists and I hope the population wakes up soon. They all deserve hanging and worse. Maybe drowning them would be better.

For Conservatives Hollywood is Dead:

Is Hollywood Dead?

BY ROGER L. SIMON DEC 10, 2018 8:17 PM ET Share Tweet

On Monday I received an email from the Motion Picture Academy informing me that if I didn’t pay my dues, I wouldn’t be able to vote in the Oscar nominations in a couple of weeks. I debated for a few minutes.  Dues have inflated since I joined in the eighties and are now a hefty $450 per annum.  Nevertheless, spendthrift that I am, I bit the proverbial bullet and went for it. Call it the inability to break a bad habit. Or an addiction to the non-stop influx of screeners that arrive at my door every December, not that I watch many of them. (I suspect I’m not alone in that.)

But it wasn’t just the money that had made me hesitate.  On one level, I wouldn’t have re-upped up for $4.50, let alone $450.  I mean — what was the point of this? Does anybody care who wins the Oscar anymore?  I certainly don’t — and I’m a voter.

Even the recent dust-up over the Oscars now having no host, since Kevin Hart ankled (as they used to say in Variety) over obscure homophobic tweets for which he had apologized years ago — talk about tempest in a tea pot — was of little interest to me. Drudge apparently felt otherwise, having put the “scandal” briefly at the top of his page, but I suspect not many feel similarly and that this year the Oscars will continue on their downward spiral toward life support.

I’m tempted to answer my title question with a paraphrase of Preston Sturges’ great line from 1942’s “The Palm Beach Story,” made when movies were actually fun: “Hollywood’s not only dead, it’s decomposed.” (Sturges was referring to chivalry.)

But it’s not quite that. It’s kind of half-dead, lumbering along because people still want entertainment, but far from what it was because we all have too many other distractions.  Further, the quality is down, way down. And it’s been that way for years.

This semi-rigor mortis is one of the key reasons we hear so much dimwitted left-wing political blather from Hollywood.  These people crave attention.  And if we don’t give it because of their movies, they’re going to get it one way or another. This also explains why in those endless YouTubes with earnest actors telling us why we should hate Trump, there are so many faces we don’t recognize.  At least it’s a part.

On top of that, these people are among the worst conformists on the planet.  And if there’s one thing that’s the enemy of creativity, it’s conformity.  L.A. is one of Earth’s great centers of group-think. Heaven help the apostate.  Being a Republican in Hollywood is like being an evangelical in Mecca.

The latest major Tinseltown excrescence comes from Meryl Streep, widely regarded as our finest serious actress. (She’s too technical for my taste, but give her her props.)

Actress Meryl Streep on Sunday said that the country “should be afraid” of President Trump because of what she thinks the president might do to keep himself and his family out of trouble, noting that she would “do anything” to get her children out of trouble.

“I’m scared. I’m scared by him, by his possibility,” Streep said during a sit-down with Stephen Colbert at the annual Montclair Film fundraiser in New Jersey.

The actress was on with Colbert to hype this year’s movies to drum up interest in the Oscars.  Her favorite was what feels like the twenty-fifth version of “A Star Is Born.” Not for me.  The only movie I have liked so far is “Crazy Rich Asians,” which is a throwback to forties romantic comedy, but set in Singapore — beautiful people eating fabulous-looking street food.

But that’s only my opinion.  Everyone’s got one.  What’s more interesting about Streep’s performance with Colbert is how she pretended to evince sympathy for Trump, almost in the manner of what we used to call a “concern troll.”  Streep’s a smart woman and is fully aware of growing resistance to Hollywood from the right, a significant part of the audience. She was running interference.

Unfortunately for her, it’s already too late.  Hollywood may not be entirely dead, but it’s certainly dead for most conservatives.  Few go to many movies and who can blame them?  Fortunately for them, however, they’re not missing much. They should be reassured that Hollywood isn’t all that important anymore.  Conservatives really do have something to worry about, but it’s not entertainment.  That’s voluntary. It’s education.  That’s not.

I may vote in the Oscars this year, but I doubt that I’ll watch them.
