Following worked for me to convert 3 friends...guys:
Recommended from my favourites, and a few of their picks.
#1 + Evasive Inquiry Agency, Giant, Salaryman, Legal High, Reply 1988, Gianna Jun movies - Heirs (he watched it on his own after EIA - I banned him to explore until he was done with my suggestions), Gianna's alien drama
#2 + Gianna Jun movies, Son Ye-jin movies and he (and 4-5 of his friends as well) was ready (he was a movie guy like me)
#3 + Giant, Salaryman, Reply 1988, Age of Youth, Gianna's alien drama + a few anime - Cheese in the Trap
In short: Guys, start with Gianna Jun's movies. Other than these 3, I can recall more than 4-5 guys who have started watching East Asian cinema or at least tried after watching Gianna Jun.
I assume that you said 'fucking rich country' because of box-office collection compared to others, right? I think those numbers are somewhat correlated with population. 1.2 billion vs 50-100 million.
It's the other way around. They make people cry that's why they are described as good. Inducing emotions in people or forming attachment is an achievement IMO.
So I just came across a little old Hindi beautiful stuff on Youtube. It says it was sung by Koreans! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wjIa0NLQI0&feature=sharehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIj6P0KBQxYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2NZPTY8egw
lol their pronunciation of Hindi is better than mine :D
Another ----wood: Dhollywood - GujaratiSome good modern Gujarati films are:Gujjubhai the GreatKevi Rite JaishChhello…
It's almost always shit. Only recently their films have changed a little bit. Still a lot of old-fashioned films. Now there are more modern stories so it got my attention. Usually people outside Gujarat don't notice them. A couple of years ago a Dhollywood film was official entry of India for the Oscars. That's it.
