<!--QuoteBegin-Mudy+Jul 3 2007, 11:44 PM-->QUOTE(Mudy @ Jul 3 2007, 11:44 PM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->Recently I have started watching Korean cinema; in every aspect they are far better than Indian Cinema, whether itâs content, cinematography or sets.[right][snapback]70764[/snapback][/right]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Just vote with your wallet. Like Indian cinema suffers from christoislami psecular subversion of Hinduism, in Korea, the christoterrorists have been doing the same (somewhat more subtly) with Buddhism. And of course viewers in the west, not knowing better, gush about these movies, thinking it shows them some meaningful insight into Korean Buddhism or whatever. It doesn't fool Koreans though.
Can't explain what I mean in detail. For example, here. Read this review for Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... and Spring by "devoutly Catholic director" Kim Ki-Duk - a darling of western reviewers and cinearts - which carefully twists and darkens Buddhism and gives a corrupted view.
(But it's not as overt as in the HK action film "So Close" where the eye-catching accessories tell their own story: the heroines wear crosses around their neck and have a whole sin-salvation thing going in the plot; meanwhile, the main villain(s) we're supposed to be booing at, have a Buddha statue in the background. Nice try.)
