Uprising (2024)
I sorted out about six or seven different trailers for tonight’s choices of movie, and the winner was this here Asian - subtitles would tell me Korean to be specific - Netflix option. Sometimes it’s funny, as with the limited interactions I have with a wide swath of cultures (what with not making the kind of funds that would produce constant travel, and living in the middle of nowhere meaning even if i wanted to actively seek ti locally it’d be more likely I’d end up just talking to a lot of livestock who would talk back quite animatedly but way less understandably) I start looking back at some of the older movies I’ve watched and wonder how many of the specific Asian countries and regions I’ve totally been mistaking in them. I noticed it a while back when it came to noticing some similarities specifically in less swordplay and more martial arts related period Japanese and Chinese stuff, but then you realize just how much influence around the regions mixing there is in movies and it starts to get even more blurry - all of which to say that it’s probably obvious to someone whose well versed in it and they probably would have a good laugh about just how inept I am at telling different cultures apart until i get a large set of obviously labeled things to go off of. Anyways, rambling aside, tonight’s movie is just about what everyone is feeling after listening to me prattle on for so long about nothing -tonight is Uprising.
