I've noticed some chink shows come with Chinese subtitles,

>>74899948
Also, why does so much Chinese media come with subtitles automatically? Is it cause of the dialect thing

>>74899948
Kek, look how they try to appear as European as possible

They all suck, as does the music. Abandon hope now.

Where do I start? Modern China produces nothing worth watching, listening to, or viewing. On top of that, China is a country which has traded its soul for a bunch of nondescript high rises and factories.

They destroyed so much of their cultural heritage over the past 50 years that they've resorted to building gaudy reproductions of what there used to be, complete with shitty souvenir stores everywhere. Everywhere with any kind of historical or natural appeal has been converted into this kind of tourist trap, as well.

Finally, between an almost complete ignorance of the outside world (and often their own history!) and a tendency toward material worship and conspicuous consumption, the Chinese often turn out to be not much for conversation.

>>74900514
Not him but I really love studying and drawing the hanzi. I have no practical reason or any intention of visiting China. I just think the language is cool.

I've heard some shit about China and Chinese culture though, and it certainly seems to be a lot difficult to find decent movies or music in Mandarin. I really have no idea what their culture is like.

I'm thinking of switching to Japanese. Fuck practicality.

What's your experience?

>>74900628
Yeh i agree with this, chinese culture still seems interesting and the language looks cool, thinking of learning it one day.

>>74899948

no, but it would be interesting to visit shanghai or beijing

>>74899980

Yeah, the dialects are closer to different languages.

>>74900681
I actually plan to watch that one. But it doesn't have chink subtitles.

Maybe only the kid shows have them or something.

I actually switched to Japanese after coming to terms with the content of my previous post. Definitely more fun and easier to progress in.

IMO, China does actually have some good culture, but it's all centuries old, consisting mostly of its poetic and philosophical traditions - which were written in Classical Chinese, not Mandarin.

Nirvana in Fire (狼呀帮)

It's an historical/fantasy drama with a lot of political intrigue. Kind of like Game of Thrones but with less sex and death, and harder to understand because of all the cultural references.

>>74899948
All movies,music ,tvshows,tv dramas are shit.Because only the dumbest,most shallow assholes go to learn arts.And when come to work,they do nothing but copy the foreign ideas.

>>74901095
I mean in china.

>>74901051
Thanks, that one is subbed and actually looks interesting.

>>74901095
>copying foreign ideas

That makes sense. All the music there sounds like really bad American pop music from 10 years ago. Why do they copy the worst of our ideas?

The rural areas of China have the best-preserved traditional culture in them, there's still old architecture, temples, and traditional lifestyles there unlike the soulless gray cement wasteland of the big cities.

>Is it cause of the dialect thing
Yes. Written Chinese is understood by all, whereas the dialects aren't.

Fun fact, most Chinese dramas are dubbed with a standard accent. Though, shitty on-location audio quality is also a factor.

>>74900778
any bothered finishing that? worth the read imo

kek

>>74901139
Yeah, Nirvana in Fire is really good. The first couple of episodes are kinda confusing though.

If you like wuxia, a good drama to check out is Legend of Condor Heroes 2008. Just realize the ending is a little different than the original story line (based on novel series).

You can also check out King's Avatar (Quan Zhi Gao Shou) if you're into anime. It's currently releasing and I find it enjoyable.

Fair skin has always been associated with wealth because it meant you spent most of your time indoors instead of working in the fields.

He's talking about Chinese subtitles which are usually hard-subbed on Chinese tv shows and movies, not English.

>>74901095
Entertainment coming out of mainland is not very good imo. Most of my chinese media that im fond of either came from taiwan or HK. Whats the reason behind this?

>>74900514
the modern chinese entertainment is literally garbage and very poor quality, all of those defending it are just blind nationalists or so called ABCs, who even know NOTHING about actual fun/interesting chinese stuff. so they can blindly defend it.

if you have an interest in reading/researching their original classic books/folk tales/myths/historical shit like three kingdoms and its background learning chinese is worthwhile. modern chinese entertainment or any medium related to it. however, is merely a dumbed down knock-off and even insults your intelligence.

at this point i dont think someone other than asians finds those historical/classic stuff interesting. Im japanese and have consumed a bunch of those through japanese media so would find it fun tho, even without japanese language or media. 2bh no offence and im not a patriot in the least but the chinese stuff gets better in japanese mediums, like in manga. theres a bunch of fun and exciting chinese classic shit.

They are all cringey
