South Korea: Bollywood’s Future Market?

[zaxcolix]

Fast forward to 2:50, the director of Oldboy speaks about how the Korean movies were dying and not even Koreans were watching Korean movies in the 80s under the heavy censorship imposed by military dictators, then the Korean movies suddenly took off in the 90s when the dictatorship transitioned to civilian government and the censorship was lifted.

This is a chilling message to China, that Chinese content will not sell abroad no matter how hard Chinese movie makers try as long as China remains under the communist rule. Freedom is the most important ingredient that fuels creativity in art and culture.

Thanksfully, India has the freedom so Bollywood has a future, Beijingwood does not.

There is another thing that fuels creativity in art and culture ....that is 'diversity' .....a uniform 'han' culture does have its drawback. US due to emigration and India due to its inherent diversity will always be hubs of art and cultural creativity.

It is one of nature's law. ......Biological evolution is always due to genetic diversity.....

Monotonous and repetitive Indian dance musics that are the defining character of Bollywood productions serve well as lullabies。
