30 Best Chinese Movies Ever Made
Before starting off with this article, I would like to state one thing: Hollywood is not the be all and end all of cinema. While it is true that Hollywood is home to some of the greatest filmmakers of the world, it is also a fact that the obsession surrounding Hollywood is a product of certain not-so-obvious factors. First of all, as the genius Satyajit Ray points out, for filmmakers of the rest of the world, it is impossible to make a film like Spartacus as such an elaborate set is beyond their means. So, obviously, they have to devise new ways to enrich their art and yet keep the costs at a minimum. The glamour associated with Hollywood often overshadows the works of artists from the rest of the world even if they are as good as, if not better than, filmmakers from America. Although China and the surrounding East Asian nations are making a lot of strides in making great cinema, we don’t see them getting the due credit for their work neither do they get the necessary exposure. The need of the hour is for the Asian filmmakers to match the production budget and the technological advancements…- 0

Wild China 美丽中国纪录片
"We want the Chinese to feel proud of their countryside and wildlife, to care about it and to seek to ensure its survival. We also hope to redress the negative view of China's environment propagated in western media."— Series Producer Phil Chapman, writing in BBC Wildlife magazine Wild China is a six-part nature documentary series on the natural history of China, co-produced by the BBC Natural History Unit and China Central Television (CCTV) and filmed entirely in high-definition (HD).

Filming for the series took place over 16 months, and involved half a million miles of travel on 57 separate filming trips to some of China's most inaccessible and spectacular locations. The production team shot over 500 hours of HD footage in 26 of China's 30 provinces. Despite being granted unprecedented access to many remote and protected areas, one of the main challenges faced by the filmmakers was finding wildlife.

The Flowers of War – 金陵十三钗 – Chinese Movies
Introduction Today let’s take a brief introduction of a famous Chinese movie named “The Flowers of War”.Based on Yan Geling‘s novel “13 Flowers of Nanjing,” the Nanjing massacre plays front and center in director Zhang Yimou‘s tale.

Simultaneously florid and gritty, this fictitious drama about convent students and prostitutes hiding together from the 1937 Japanese onslaught is a work of often garish dramatic flourishes yet undeniable emotional power, finding humor and heartbreak in a tale of unlikely heroism in close quarters. Making his way through the bombed-out rubble of Nanjing, American mortician John Miller (Bale) arrives at a cathedral to attend to a recently deceased priest. To the dismay of the church’s boy warden, George, and the dozen or so adolescent girl students in his care, Miller turns out to be a genially lazy opportunist who immediately plunders the communion wine supply. When a small army of courtesans barge into the church seeking sanctuary from the Japanese, who have overtaken the city, Miller is delighted at the prospect of his own personal harem and flirts aggressively with…- 0
