"King Kong River" was boycotted by South Koreans, and it is more certain that China is right not to let "Shang Qi" be released.

As one of the carriers of cultural input and dissemination,

is not only limited to entertainment, but also more and more content. South Korea has always been the most sensitive to related issues, which can be clearly seen from the response of the two films " Shangqi " and "Kingangcheon".

"King Kong River" was boycotted in South Korea

According to our understanding, the movie "King Kong River" that was supposed to be released in South Korea hadn't waited for the movie "Kingang Right" to enter the theaters directly The filmmakers’ protests and the indefinite postponement of the release were naturally due to the fact that the background of the film itself was to resist US aggression and aid to Korea. For Koreans, the history of resisting US aggression and aid to Korea is obviously not glorious. Therefore, even though the film itself may have some controversies on some issues, it does not affect the direct resistance of this theme.

Concerns about political stance and national sentiment

From the resistance of the movie "King Kongcheon" in South Korea, it can be seen that even if some correct history should be corrected and recognized In the specific dissemination and propaganda process, the governments of various countries and the supervisory departments of the film and television industry must take political positions and national sentiments into consideration. After all, the current overall peaceful and stable development of the world is only a matter of decades or so. Many historical issues have not yet been clearly explained, and some countries even try to conceal and tamper with history.

Some people may think that film is essentially a pure entertainment product, or a commodity, and it is inappropriate to look at film with a political and historical perspective. However, in fact, the creators, directors and screenwriters of the film, regardless of whether they have subjective intentions, will have their own historical concepts to a certain extent when shooting works.Even with some completely overhead backgrounds, people will always think that there are certain political metaphors. These are inevitable. This is actually the same as various novels, games, and TV shows, and because many movies are behind it. There is a certain interest relationship, and it is very normal for the capital side to use movies as a subconscious cultural export tool. The Hollywood blockbusters of these years are a typical example.

It’s right not to let "Shangqi" be released

Here it must be said that the American commercial blockbuster popular with audiences at home and abroad is also the Marvel series Now, as the first film released for Chinese Americans, "Shangqi" has aroused strong indignation from Chinese netizens before it was released, because in the original comics, there is a very clear insulting character "Fu" in the original comics. "Manchuria", and the character depiction and plot are very similar to the usual American heroism, placing the United States in a high position, and its enemies are "very evil."

Although Marvel’s comics itself has a lot of authors and editors, and everyone’s political stances and concepts may be different, there is no doubt that "Shangqi" is an existence that even domestic Marvel fans sneer at. However, the United States has chosen its choice as the focus of its propaganda to Chinese people and even mainland China. It is obviously "Sima Zhao's heart". Therefore, taking into account the political stance and national sentiment, the "Shang Qi" is not allowed to be shown in China. There is no doubt that it is the most correct approach.

Change the role but not the essence

It should be noted that after the movie was released, someone discovered that the original image of Fu Manchu was changed to another in the movie "Shang Qi" There is no role that insults China, which in a sense may indicate that Marvel does have the idea of ​​regaining its foothold in the country with the help of this movie.But obviously, judging from the current situation, "Shangqi" has not received an "amnesty" because of these changes, and criticism of it is not uncommon on the Internet. After all, as a commercial blockbuster, even if the role is changed, it will not change his nature as an American movie.

Vigilant against cultural invasion

In fact, we can see from the political and social conditions and cultural propaganda trends in the United States over the years that it deliberately emphasizes absolute freedom, personal freedom, and personal heroism. Doctrine has become an important way for the United States to solve domestic social problems and promote its own culture. The movie "Shangqi" is considered to be a "placebo" specifically for Chinese Americans in the United States and even Western countries. After all, since last year, in some places led by the United States, there have been endless cases of violence against Chinese Americans, and even a significant increase.

So just like "King Kong River" is a relatively strong political shock for South Korea, "Shang Qi" itself is produced with any mentality, its core idea is still American values ​​that cannot be changed. This This kind of cultural invasion requires people to be extremely vigilant.

cultural diversity needs to be tolerant

Of course, it is undeniable that even some commercial blockbusters in the United States have their appreciation, value and some special effects. See, it’s not completely useless. In terms of principle and adherence to historical truth, both Chinese and Koreans should and must recognize, and the various side effects brought by cultural diversity can only be found in Only when we recognize history and its essence can we lose its effect.

For this reason, our country has actually exported a variety of authentic and "Chinese style" cultures for a long time in the past.In this way, the stereotype of China and the West, but this is still far from enough. Only when the right to speak is in their own hands, and only when the domestic people are fully confident and tolerant, will the development of the cultural industry get better and better. The threat will disappear.
