yes, not your everyday Hollywood movie

I have recently bought Liu Cixin's books but I didnot have the time to read them. I will make time now!

It amazes me to see the number of 5 or 6 stars comments. Oh, he characters are not so developed. Oh, the girl whines. Oh, they take family above humanity's survival. Oh, emotional expressions unnatural. Oh, look how unnatural the translation will be in our dubbed version. Oh,shallow characters. Oh the main character hates his dad and has no reasson to .

To me it's like all these people cannot understand taht different cultures act, feel and express themselves differently. What is so normal to the average American is NOT normal to the average Chinese.

Bear in mind how China was over the years. Over the decades and thousands of years. Why did it become an empire? What are her values? What is expected from her people? And watch the movie again but this time walk in their shoes. Yes, some aspects of the movie are similar to other blockbusters. But this is not the movie where we need diversity, love scenes, heroes that will just behave the "standard" Captain America way.
