I noticed that in America, we seem to not do national releases of very many foreign movies from overseas in theaters. When was the last time we had a foreign movie that spoke entirely in a foreign language? Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger? That other movie with a dude on a boat with a tiger? Talking about the last 20-30 years up until streaming services.
I think the American entertainment industry is trying to keep americans isolated. So they can't see movies from other countries where they can compare it to American made movies. So we can't see how bad american made movies are. To keep us from seeing other cultures and to see their perspective.. to see that they don't use ugly goblinas or trannies or POC. If you watch a chinese, korean or japanese movie.. most of the cast are handsome or pretty/cute and are like 99.9% asian lol. Maybe our country will be less woke when we actually see what other cultures around the world is doing.
Even with streaming services (which i dont use since they are all woke as hell), last big name was Squid Games? After that not much foreign things that took off. Maybe that Shogun show, but its niche.
I also notice.. movies aren't butchered as badly with translations and localization when compared to video games. But that is for a different day hehe.
When Funimation (Crunchyroll now) dubbed the third Rebuild of Evangelion movie, they deviated so much from the script that Hideaki Anno was royally pissed.
Actual line from their version: "I love the smell of LCL in the morning!"
Anno was SO angry, he demanded the entire English dub be re-recorded with a more accurate script. And it was...about three years later. Not sure if it's on disc, but I can verify that this redone script is the one on Amazon Prime Video, which I took the 30-day free trial to see.
Only the fourth movie left for me to see, as of this writing. I have that on disc, so I can cancel the Amazon Prime trial now. I don't see what Adamrises was so angry about so far...
My point is, we need more men like Hideaki Anno in the world.
Weirdly reminds me of when Hideo Kojima shit talked a "fan" bitching about the lack of gay representation in the Metal Gear Series... that was fuckin hysterical...
Did that guy PLAY Metal Gear Solid 3?
Also, when was this?
I can't remember exactly when it was, but it was featured on either this board or c/funny (probably both) at the time...he basically said something to the effect of "actually, there was a gay character in every metal gear game... you, the player"
