THE GRANDMASTER | Recreating Imperial China

[@limroger]

@Annapurna Pictures, Imperial China had just ended. This period is the Republic of China 1912 to 1949.

[@JDazell]

I'd seen this years ago and liked it but accidentally (and fortunately) I happened to watch the original Hong Kong cut and loved it. I was more moved and mesmerised by the Hong Kong cut. The ending was better suited to the film. Even the funerary pilgrimage in the snow was much more emotionally impactful. The arrangement of scenes was better. There was no title cards explaining the film, the time, and who people were. Love this film way more now. I had a similar experience when i watched the theatrical cut of Gangs of New York vs the laterr extended re-cut.

/"Recreating Imperial China" /literally first sentence is about how they were recreating the Republic era Bro do you even Chinese history

[@HAKULAMATATA8]

bruh anytime before 49 is essentially imperial if you really understand the History.

[@MasterZhang]

@@HAKULAMATATA8 "essentially" If we're going to be using fluff words like "essentially", we might as well go just a little further and conclude that the modern PRC is also "essentially" Imperial, governed by a bureaucratic class selected by examination and performance. You need moar material dialectics in your diet.

@@MasterZhang happy to help you to reach the synthesis. you are very welcome.

[@limroger]

@leighSiyi The movie cast also says the Republic of China era. The video title is wrong.
