I was in a lecture for my Editing and Post uni course and some guy said, without a hint of irony, "Yeah I love Chinese cinema and culture, like Kung Fu Panda".
I had to stop from pissing myself laughing
I'm from Taiwan, and I can't wrap my head around how so many kinophiles give mediocre to straight up shit Taiwanese (or Asian in general) films crazy high ratings. Like is it because they are speaking exotic languages??
I think it's hard to evaluate acting performances in a film that's subtitled. You're switching between looking at their faces and the subtitles. It's hard to tell what's stilted dialog and acting or just different conventions. It definitely bleeds into exotifying stuff, "It's foreign and exotic. I am therefore very cool and cultured for liking it." However, it's usually fun to branch out, and easy to write off possible flaws as novel.
Best example of this is the english speaking actors in squid game. Their lines sound awful when spoken in english, but its the same style of dialogue writing present throughout the series.
It's not just that. I'm Latin American, and while there's good cinema around here, there's not enough of a budget to pay for good CGI/special effects, so you'll never see that kinda movie from here.
It's just that CGI/special effects look more impressive if you aren't used to it.
Also not that many break through into the mainstream and unless you have an outside reason (IE in my case Kurosawa films because they inspired George Lucas) you probably won't look for them
I dunno bro, I've been playing Yakuza 0 recently and it has some of the most intense and raw acting I've seen in a video game even if I don't understand a single goddamn word that they're saying.
Right? Even when *Like a Dragon* re-introduced a (***freakishly*** good) dub, I imagine many people just kept playing it with subtitles. Kiryu and Majima's native VAs have become *that* iconic, and it helps that Sega/Atlus US are among the best localizers in the business.
Technically speaking either Judgement or FOTN:LP (idk which came first) reintroduced the dub to the series, and yeah the dub is fantastic (especially Greg Chun/Nanba singing Baka Mitai).
Yeah but that's Yakuza. Like obviously there's good, and incredible acting but they're mostly referring to the mid shows the original commenter was talking about.
How would you know? Many animes has “intense and raw” voice acting b cause they scream and realllllly put in emotion. But from what I’ve read it’s still cringe and unnatural. You’ve really gotta ask a Japanese person to evaluate how the Yakuza actually feels. I mean more objectively.

This could also apply to any weeb who thinks sub >>>> dub, since there's apparently "more emotion" in Japanese.
It makes a lot of sense. Subpar voice acting in your native language is grating. You're very unlikely to notice it in a language you're not proficient in.
That's something only an American could say. Any person who watched more than a few movies with subtitles will read them subconsciously in a split second and will not have a problem paying attention to what's happening on the screen.
I watch a lot of foreign movies. It's not *that* big of a distraction. It's not hard to see what's going on, but it's a small thing that distracts from the actor's face and which words they're saying when. Conversational conventions are also just different in different countries. If something comes off as stilted, I don't know if that's a translation issue, reflective of different norms, or just shoddy filmmaking. As for translation issues, they make it a fundamentally different experience from watching a performance in tongue that you're fluent in. My partner speaks passable Japanese and will often point out fun word play in subbed anime that's just not in the captions at all.
Anime translation is a different beast. Anime translators are seriously underpaid (below livable wage) and often have very short time to finish their work due to the simulcast nature of modern anime distribution. And many of them simply aren't very good translators. Anime translation quality has really dropped since fansubbing was replaced with official distributions. Fansubs had their quirks, for sure, but I think on average they were better at translating the word plays and jokes.
And the same problems apply to manga translation, unfortunately.
Why would them being American matter? Do Americans read slower or something?
Also reading subtitles definitely plays a part. One thing I've noticed in particular is that you can't always catch what words are being emphasized by the actors, especially if the sentence structure of the language is different from the subtitles. If an actor is speaking Japanese and emphasizes a word at the beginning of their line, that emphasis might not carry over into English because the word might be at the end of the sentence when translated.
I think they assumed American because the stereotype is that Americans almost exclusively watch English language films while rarely watching 'foreign' films which is why they are not used to subtitles.
Same goes for certain slang/accents. Like some accents are easy to hear, best example being Goku but all Japanese sounds the same to a foreigner unless the actor draws big emphasis.
I dunno if enough people have seen it for there be a general consensus yet. If anything early overhype for it is likely due to people being enamored by the exclusivity of watching it + fanboys of the director.
Broker was my favorite fim of our local festival, but it was the first Kore-eda film I've seen. On the other hand, I didn't like Decision to Leave at all, even though I'm a Park Chan-wook fan.
This comment is meaningless without some examples, Tsai Ming-liang, Hou Hsiao-hsien and Edward Yang are some of the greatest to ever do it. And that's not just a language thing.
Letterboxd is particularly guily of this.
There's a lot of Asian trash movies that people rate 5 stars and call it kino or some shit. Not gonna judge them for that because I enjoy trashy movies too, but if the movie was just a Western b-movie they'd hate it and rate it 1 star or something.
Solid list, a lot of overlap with mine actually. In no order as well; RRR, Everything Everywhere, Top Gun, Marcel the Shell, The Batman (but in fairness I’m a Batman nerd so I’m biased. Nope might belong there)
Ok I feel better about The Batman being there. Bobs Burgers was really fun, I wish I saw it in theaters to support them.
But dude, Marcel the Shell, I can’t recommend it enough if you haven’t seen it. I expected 80 mins of decent one liners and that would’ve been fine but I laughed, I cried, I learned, it did not need to go that hard. Walking back from the theater me and my friend were talking about it and some random guy flagged us down to ask “hey what movie are you talking about, it sounds amazing” and he definitely thought it’d be this prestigious indie drama starring like Ethan Hawke or something and we had to say “you know Marcel the Shell from YouTube like 15 years ago…” def check it out
Great list! Think mine is (in no particular order) The Batman, EEAAO, Sonic 2, TG Maverick and Nope. Bullet Train doesn't make it, but it comes ***very*** close.
I was gonna see RRR in cinemas one time! Except my mom died that day so I decided to watch Sonic 2 instead. Still gotta get around to RRR at some point, heard (really, really) good things.

As someone who’s read the original novel it’s based on, I’m actually pretty curious to see what (bits and pieces) they’ve kept of the Japanese text in there.
It's been a while since I read it, but I don't think so. There's no real central mystery to be solved, snd the twists aren't necessarily things that are set up with clues or anything.
Edit: The previous work in the series, Grasshopper, has more mystery elements to it, though I'd say it's still closer to a thriller (don't bother watching the movie, it's pretty terrible)
Honestly I would have much preferred that. Certain deaths *cough cough* >!*tangerine*!< lost pretty much all emotional impact because of comedy reasons.

I didn't really find it funny (I laughed once) but it was more charming than irritating. I was pretty invested in all of the stories and the characters which is more than I can say for similar movies. A solid 7/10.
Bullet train is what all those Netflix originals in the vein of Ryan Reynolds are trying so damn hard to be. Charming & goofy action without being unwatchably obnoxious.
It's worth a watch, the comedy isn't so different but the delivery is a lot less self-insistant. It's a lot less 'look at me I'm funny' but still tries pretty hard. I think it succeeds at what it's trying at so gets away with it.
It doesn't have the gross out humor that Deadpool has, I don't think there is any mention of sex or buttholes or really any other middle school locker room talk. The characters are more likeable and it's easier to be invested in them as well.
Well, it's got likeable characters and ***no*** weird innuendos, so I'd say it's worth your time. (More like *Three Stooges* meets *Die Hard,* just... on a Japanese bullet train, lmao.) >!And while Deadpool is in it, he gets no lines and is implied to be much, ***MUCH*** colder than he usually is.!<
To be fair, Pitt plays it in a way that's a lot more likeable than Reynolds, IMO. I cannot *stand* Reynolds, but I thought Pitt was... fine, even if he was one of the weaker parts of the movie.
Does bullet train have deadpool tier insufferable dialogue?
Also the action scenes in deadpool are super underwhelming.
I can’t remember a good action comedy since Rush Hour (the Other Guys was pretty good, but that was more comedy than action)
God damn i hate Bullet Train so much. It somehow feels even more Deadpool-y than Deadpool itself, it's like everything that bothers me about those movies turned up to a hundred. "oooh wouldn't it be sooo funny if the murderer was obsessed with something children generally like? Wouldn't it be so funny if we couldn't write a movie to save our lives but pointed it out 50 times? Haha look at the protagonist he's so tired of it all! Haha look it's that actor you recognize!"
Lol, you can obviously disagree but stuff that irritates me about the movie isn't magically gonna disappear just because it's from a book. Also just because i expressed a negative opinion doesn't mean i'm not calm. I know it officially has nothing to do with marvel but it's exactly like a marvel movie

Technically Deadpool 2 has a Bullet Train cameo
Holy shit Deadpool walked in
Bullet Train literally got electrocuted in Deadpool 2 🫣
I mean >!Bullet train has a deadpool cameo!<
And he has the correct amount of screen time and lines in Bullet Train! (Which is zero.)
And yet I still groaned at seeing his face everywhere.

Doesnt help that their personalities were criminally cringe either
Plus we can’t tell dialect in a foreign language.
It’s why shitty actions franchises like Fast and Furious are even more popular in other countries

if you can feel the subtle emotions of the voice actor, then it's good voice acting in my book

Broker for sure. I made another comment above.
Mfw the domestic box office winners More Than Blue (2018) has a 3.0 and Man in Love (2021) has a 3.4 on Letterboxed (those two were hot garbage)
Got any examples?

Did you like The Sadness?
Have you seen The Sadness? I really fucked with that movie.
Same with arabic, sometimes they just straight out speak Indian or Farsi and try to pass it as arabic

I will not take Bullet train (2022) slander
Its in my top 5 of the year, no slander here
Out of curiosity what are your top 5 right now?
Bullet Train is one
In no particular order: RRR Everything, Everywhere All at Once Top Gun: Maverick Bullet Train Men
Solid list, a lot of overlap with mine actually. In no order as well; RRR, Everything Everywhere, Top Gun, Marcel the Shell, The Batman (but in fairness I’m a Batman nerd so I’m biased. Nope might belong there)
I'd maybe swap out Men for The Batman tbh (or maybe bobs burgers the movie)
Ok I feel better about The Batman being there. Bobs Burgers was really fun, I wish I saw it in theaters to support them. But dude, Marcel the Shell, I can’t recommend it enough if you haven’t seen it. I expected 80 mins of decent one liners and that would’ve been fine but I laughed, I cried, I learned, it did not need to go that hard.

I havent watched eeaao yet, should i?
Yes. It's very fun and charming, extremely entertaining
Isnt the plot based on putting shit up your ass
No it is not, there is a moment in the film that involves that, but it’s not the plot lol.
Ok
Definitely worth a watch, I didn’t really gel with it, but most people are getting a lot out of it.
It’s very weird but with purpose and it’s also creative and heartfelt and fun. I’d def say watch it
No everyone knows Love and Thunder is #1
Great list! Think mine is (in no particular order) The Batman, EEAAO, Sonic 2, TG Maverick and Nope. Bullet Train doesn't make it, but it comes ***very*** close.
Have you seen nope? Cause IMO that’s a top three
It's only out in Ireland this weekend, so it's definitely on my list, love Peele's output
I have now seen nope. Excellent film
Watch Apollo 10 1/2 by linklater netflix fucking buried it with no marketing

I think the train obsession is still there
Question. Having read the novel, do you think it could have been adapted as a mystery movie? Because the plot definitely gave me mystery movie vibes.
It's been a while since I read it, but I don't think so. There's no real central mystery to be solved, snd the twists aren't necessarily things that are set up with clues or anything. Edit: The previous work in the series, Grasshopper, has more mystery elements to it, though I'd say it's still closer to a thriller (don't bother watching the movie, it's pretty terrible)
The original idea was to keep it a pretty gritty action movie in the vein of Die Hard but they changed it to action-comedy.
Honestly I would have much preferred that. Certain deaths *cough cough* >!*tangerine*!< lost pretty much all emotional impact because of comedy reasons.

Bullet Train is unironically a better movie in every aspect imo 🤷🏻♂️
Especially the part when Brad Pitt calls a woman a Karen!! 🤯😂😂😂
Maybe I missed it but I don’t think that line was in the movie. It was just in the trailer
Not gonna lie, Bullet Train was kinda lit.
oh god the first bullet train mcj meme… this begins a new era of jerking over the same move for a month or two before finally moving on
Well it isn’t a superhero movie, so I doubt it.

Can someone here tell me if this actually has a Deadpool stink to it? I wanna see Brad Pitt, I do not want to see Deadpool 2 (2).
I’d compare it favorably to *Hot Fuzz* (but with more action). Not as good mind you, but in the ballpark at least
No luck with them killers then eh?
Just the one killer, actually

It's worth a watch but pitt is probably the worst part about it just doing mcu quips but everyone else is lots of fun
Pitt thinks he’s spiderman
Yeah it absolutely reeks of it I’m afraid. Pitt’s literally playing a role that feels like it was tailored to Ryan Reynolds as well.
To be fair, Pitt plays it in a way that's a lot more likeable than Reynolds, IMO. I cannot *stand* Reynolds, but I thought Pitt was... fine, even if he was one of the weaker parts of the movie.
Every damn time
Literally *not* me because I *liked* Deadpool 2!
Deadpool 2 - racebent Domino, woke 😡 Bullet Train - whitewashed characters from the novel, apolitical 😌 /s
No issues with Deadpool except Deadpool sometimes, but bullet train rules
Both of them are amazing. I dont care if this isnt the kinophile opinion but i think both of them are way better than most action movies nowadays.
Deadpool 2 is decent if it’s been years since you’ve seen Deadpool 1, because Deadpool comedy gets old fast
I've heard that bullet train is actually enjoyable to people who don't jerk off to CEO of MILFS content though
Bullet Train was unironically amazing and 47% of critics are on crack for saying otherwise
Something something Kino.
Nah the difference is Bullet Train is good.
They’re both stinky
Is the movie good? I'm debating seeing that or bodies bodies bodies tomorrow
I loved it
Do you guys hate Deadpool 2? Thought it was way better than the usual marvel trash.
Does bullet train have deadpool tier insufferable dialogue? Also the action scenes in deadpool are super underwhelming. I can’t remember a good action comedy since Rush Hour (the Other Guys was pretty good, but that was more comedy than action)
