Looking beyond the Hollywood

Many people like to watch the Hollywood movies because they have the fast pace which makes you feel excited, and they have abundant money to have good effects of the movie. However, they are still many other good movie around us. I selected these movie because they don't follow the principles of Hollywood.

Many of these movie didn't be produced by Americans, so many of these movie actor don't speak English. Even though the leading character speak English, even more than one languages, they often use their special sight to look at and realize the foreign culture.

The main language speaking in the movie:

Diarios de Motocicleta: Spanish

Joyeux Noel: English, French, German

Ashita no Kioku: Japanese

Ginga Tetsudo no Yoru: Japanese

August Rush: English

Ji Jie Hao: Chinese

Ting Shuo: Chinese , Sigh Language

Hotel Rwanda: English

The Childrem from Huang Shi: English, Chinese, Japanese

They are six movies are adapted from real stories:

Diarios de Motocicleta (from Che Guevara, a revolutionist of Cuba)

Joyeux Noel (a true event in WWI)

Ashita no Kioku (many stories from the patients)

Ji Jie Hao: Chinese (a battle of China Civil War )

Hotel Rwanda: English (a genocide in Rwanda)

The Childrem from Huang Shi: (from the story of George Hogg)

I can see the different value in different movie from various countries. In a age of global villages, seeing the things from different aspects is critical important. Moreover, we can cultivate the sympathetic feeling through we learn the world. Therefore, I encouraged these movie for you to watch.
