Low budget comedy on track to make $800 million (yes, US$) in China

[...]

The Chinese are idiots at heart.

Ignorant, smug, desperate idiots.

I'd love me some subtitles.

So Back to the Future set in China

This is the future of DL. Chinese shills?

他媽的，原始海報。用棒球棒操你的母親，你會變黏。

I feel like I’ve watched the entire movie after viewing the second trailer. It’s like a beat for beat remake of Back to the Future.

Now you know why China don't give a shit about your opinion, the days of seeking of approval from the west were long gone.

?????

Well, r7, it certainly looks like the days of the Chinese seeking proficiency in English are long gone.

There's no accounting for the Chinese shithole taste. It's terrifying to imagine that the Chinese people will one day become the trendsetter of the world. Yes, the Chinese and the Indian people are shitholer ignoramuses.

It's a great movie, the girl/woman time travelled back to know his parents especially her mom, she became BFF with her mom...it's a comedy but it's also a tearjerker. After watching the movie, many young people called their moms. The best user review I read is, you know you love your mom, but what you don't know is the mom loves you more, a lot more....1,000 times more.

Of course the racsist gays here on DL spew their bigotry and hatred as usual, I don't even have to click the thread to know what their responses would be.

A middle age woman traveled back in time and meet her mother. It is a bit cheesy.

In case anyone who doesn't speak Chinese, I will translate what R5 said.

Damn you, primitive poster (the poster that you hang on the wall)。 Use baseball bat to fuck you mother, then you will become sticky。

-Anal

R5, since China will be the greatest country on earth, this is not how you should address Chinese. You will have to talk to them in respectful way that shows that the Chinese is surperior. Try to imagine talking to the queen of England when you talk to us. Thank you.

It's a family movie for the Chinese new year, do you want to watch sex, violence or disasters on new year's day?

[quote] Now you know why China don't give a shit about your opinion, the days of seeking of approval from the west were long gone.

Still seeking all the intellectual property from the West, I see.

You think the rest of the world has higher standards with all the remakes and reboots and Marvel & DC comic hero movies?

R15 call me wrong, the lower standard the better box office in the US!

I didn't know the concept of time travel is patented by the Hollywood studios, or maybe they should seek the approval from the estate of HG Wells before making the movie. But wait, travel back in time was depicted in many folklores long before "the time machine" was published in 1895.

I stopped going to the movies in the late 1980's. I kind of hope all of this HUGE movie theater chains GO OUT OF BUSINESS.

Fuck the Chinese cunts!!(from china)

They have a dog meat festival ever year where tens of thousands of dogs are slaughtered for eating!!!

Need I say more???

Only white people can make or have nice things.

Thanks for translating, R12.

中国政府强迫您的母亲中有多少姐妹？也许您可以回到过去与她的胎儿聊天。

Perhaps the sequel will have the protagonist land on a vat of dead bats at the Wuhan market in 2019.

Looks better than "Parasite". I sat through 45 min. of that dreck and wondered what everyone was raving about.

[quote] the Chinese is surperior.

Oh, and, R12. Hopefully you can go back in time to reconnect with your relatives who were imprisoned and slaughtered during the evil Mao regime.

Those are amazing numbers. Wow - good for her. I want to see it when it's subtitled in English.

But r24 is completely correct. This is a ridiculously rosy picture of 1981 China.

1980 was the year the CCP imposed a one- child policy, and anyone who was born before 1980 (all the characters in the movie except for the protagonist) lived through hell in the years just prior to the time this movie portrays.

From the Pew Research article linked below:

"These older Chinese lived through a volatile era that included the civil war (ending in 1949), the Great Leap Forward (1958-1960), the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) and other radical movements. They were part of a more agrarian society, with many living in poverty. They were also part of a younger society: Data show that 72% of China’s population during the Cultural Revolution were ages 34 and under, including about 60% who were ages 24 and under."

Weird

An hour after seeing it, audiences were hungry for the sequel.

Chinese guys are hot but they’re hard to get to know. They also don’t seem as joyous as Koreans or Japanese people.

By the eighties the Chinese people had lived through decade upon decade of government-mandated mass killings.

This is an interesting paper (translated from the French so not very elegantly worded) detailing the chronology of the mass murders in China. The last section is simply title "Endless Killing".

China was a terrifying place to live for most of the 20th century.

...OK, and OP?
