SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS

  • Watched this movie SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS last week at PVR, Forum Mall.
  •  I liked the movie.
  • More than the movie, the basic purpose of the movie is to introduce the new Asian characters who will be carried forward in future Marvel Movies.
  • Basically, this is an attempt to undo what damage Trump did by his Anti China tirade.
  • Hollywood is working overtime to undo Trump and previous administration damage.
  • Biden has clearly said Americans will not know difference between Chinese and Koreans and Filipinos.
  • Hence it will be a "free for all" bashing of all Asian looking people by all and sundry once they turn racists.
  • Just as Americans do not know difference between Middle East and Central Asia.
  • Or difference between Arabs and Persians.
  • For majority of Americans all Muslims are Arabs.
  • Or all Indian looking people are Pakistanis.
  • Indian and Hispanic people become browns and African Americans are black and Asians are yellow and so on.
  • What a joke! 
  • Hence once should avoid typecasting people based on race and religion.
  • Then it will result in deep divide which will haunt you till the end of life.
  • Coming back to the movie, it is even better in second half and keeps you in the edge of the seat.
  • After second half the movie is in the Middle Realm which is mysterious place and can be accessed with much difficulty and here the battle between the good and evil takes place.
  • Clearly in the movie the long serpentine dragon or Chinese dragon is the "good one".
  • The "Western looking dragon" is the villian and the leader of the dark forces.
  • Overall it is a visual spectacle.
