Chimerica

I think the world, particularly residents of China, need periodic reminding of the Tiananmen square massacre, to counter the Chinese regime's continuing efforts to erase this dreadful event from history.

Whatever the artistic merits of this series, it is serving a valuable reminder of the true face of the Chinese government.

Bad acting, pro- Hilary propaganda is just too much, and the picture of the killed woman in Syria BY THE RUSSIANS is just stop please- too much propaganda! But, I gave it 9 cuz of the story. It Is important to be heard. And the scenario and the story plot is really good, it keeps your attention.

There is no REAL Chinese in this film because this kind of political issue is prohibited by the Chinese government in the first place. There is no discussion nor critique because this film is completely shut down from the search engine in China, and there is no fansub group in China dare translate or make the subtitle in Chinese, period.

Overall, it's an OK-ish film in terms of the intensity of the plot. However, I think this film meta-critically makes a bold statement by juxtaposing a certain political-historical milieu of China and the current President of the United States, which is very intriguing to ponder over. I give this film an 8 for its boldness (probably a 7 for its plot), and I expect more to come for the upcoming episodes.

By the way, this film reminds me of (allegedly) Leica's "The Hunt."

It's not a crime to be on the street. It's not a crime to raise your voice.

I find the criticisms of chinese born readers interesting but not unusual. Very proud people and those that have immigrated and usually unaware of how them have been indoctrinated. Most are unaware of the truths of much of post-war china both internally and with its neighbors. Of course, their are many dramas criticizing all countries in the western world , US and European. and any dramas containing non-english speakers always have questionable use and pronunciation of the foreign language involved. The use of french, polish, swedish, russian in english dramas are simply laughable. so this odd use of chinese in this drama is just normal. Try listening to the use of english in chinese movies by actors playing the role of westerners. we all should not take offense so easily. nothing critical is intended here in my opinion of the chinse
