From the country that had a black Captain America, an anti-fascist superhero, in theatres while it wouldnโ€™t vote for a woman who is black.

Who fed us all those movies about fighting for freedom and didnโ€™t even get the plot of their own movies let alone a history* documentary.

lol.

Man, I have such mixed feelings on this.

On one hand, it would mean that Netflix would stop trying to push shitty Bollywood films on me (seriously, if I could prevent all Hindi films from showing up on my Netflix forever, I would absolutely do that). On the other hand it would mean that the really darkly melancholic Euro films would also be off the menu.

A lot of the good South Asian content is in the form of TV shows now. Movies (especially North Indian / Hindi) have been on the downslide for the past 10 years.. I feel like shows are generally doing better than movies globally. It's really hard to explore a topic well in ~2 hours.

Generally if you stop watching movies from a region it will stop suggesting them to you. I watched an Italian movie once and it recommended movies from there for a week or so and then stopped.

I have NEVER watched a Hindi movie. The closest I got was the most recent Zatoichi film, which had a weird-ass song-and-dance number at the end that was totally unrelated to the entire film. But scrolling through Netflix, it still keeps suggesting Hindi films for me, "because you liked...!"

I do watch some K-horror (Train to Busan, The Wailing, Thirst, etc.), Japanese chambara (the above mentioned Zatoichi, Lone Wolf and Cub, Hanzo the Razor--which is solidly pinku-eiga--and others), and sometimes Chinese historical pieces. I've watched a few Malay and Indonesian horror films as well. Some of the Asian television series are pretty great; I was really enjoying Gyeongseong Creature and Kingdom. I've tried watching Japanese TV, and the stuff I've seen has just been bad. I don't think I've come across any Chinese TV shows that have interested me.
