Most filmmakers fail to inspire

Comment on "Steering swordplay" (China Daily, Jan 11)

Innovation and inspiration are what many Wuxia (martial hero) films lack. Most Chinese filmmakers seem unable to inspire and instill a sense of purpose on a higher level among their audience. Many of their films have the same theme - a burst of killings and revenge - which present the audience with a picture of brutality and uncivil behavior.
