Talk:Cinema of Taiwan/Archive 1

Untitled
I just added some content. However, I am by no means an expert--I only wrote based on what I've gathered on the net and the Taiwanese movies I've seen in the past. So everyone please feel free to correct what I wrote and make it better! -- Sinc Jan 16, 2005

List of film-related topics
There is a dispute over how cinema of China, cinema of Hong Kong and cinema of Taiwan should be presented on the list of film-related topics. I changed how it is presented. User:Huaiwei reverted it, saying that " This is ridiculous. Since when is HK cinema not Chinese cinema? Then what is it? English? Thai? Japanese? ", " Chinese cinema is understood to refer to cinema produced in Greater China. They may develop in different geographic entities, but they remain inter-related throughout history. " , and " I know Chinese cinema enough to know that it didnt being in 1949. Nor did HK cinema develop without direct influence or contributions from Greater China. I hadent seen any arguments against this. ".

To my understanding the cinema of China article is bascially about the cinema of mainland China, which the cinema of Hong Kong and cinema of Taiwan aren't subset of. All opinions are welcome over how it should be presented. &mdash; Instantnood 14:55, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

East Asian cinema
Hi. I created the East Asian cinema template and the associated article and would like to request some input on that article from the people who've worked on the various cinema articles for countries in the Far East / East Asia, including the "Cinema of Taiwan" article. I think it would be worthwhile to expand the East Asian cinema article cos it's quite perfunctory at present, but I don't have the time to research each country's output as thoroughly as I'd like and I don't want to simply rewrite what you already have here. I tried putting up a request for expansion but little has happened.

My intention was to focus on the Western experience of East Asian cinema - particularly focussing on the impact and influence of the movies, directors, stars and film styles from the Far East on European and American audiences. This would include the increasing popularity of Eastern films in the West, especially box office, video & DVD market successes, but also cult figures and genres. It should also include information about collaborations and crossovers by Eastern and Western film makers.

Because of it's wider focus, the East Asian cinema article should ideally have synopses of the film industries of each East Asian country, but not just simple reiterations of what already exists in a more substantial form here.

I'm sure some users may disagree with my some of my ideas here, or have a better structural approach as to how the article should be expanded and evolve. That's cool - all I want is to make the article encompass as much scope as possible and to be a worthy place to group these diverse film cultures together. Each country should be represented, so I realise that using my intended focus may skew the article in favour of the larger industries of Hong Kong, China and Japan, which may be unwise. Anyway, any help on the East Asian cinema article would be appreciated.

Arbitrary introductory section
Why is the first section of this (otherwise nice article) about Chinese-language (in HK/PRC/TW) cinema? Taiwan's earliest films were in Japanese as I recall, and there are probably as many films from Taiwan filmed mainly in Taiwanese as there are in Mandarin Chinese anyway. It would be more appropriate if this section were omitted or discussed early Japanese-language film making technology/practices used in Taiwan during the Colonial Era (as the subsequent sect. does).

 * Two years late. Anyway, Taiwanese is also a Chinese language. 121.7.185.239 (talk) 10:04, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It is not too late to change it. In fact it should be changed as it does not follow the guidelines for a lede sentence.  See Lede and Lede Readin (talk) 02:42, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
