We should ponder why we Chinese cannot make the best use of our rich cultural resources in the production of films, says an article in Qianjiang Evening Post. The following is an excerpt:
These days, a panda from Hollywood is the focus of debate in China. Chinese audiences have three different responses after watching Kung Fu Panda, the latest US animated cartoon: anger, shame and silence.
This movie is about how the panda overcomes his faulty personality and rises to become a martial arts master. Like Mulan, another Hollywood animated cartoon, Kung Fu Panda again uses Chinese cultural resources to illustrate the essential American spirit - the making of a hero.
