The Farewell is a gentle yet very sad movie that offers small bursts of comedy within the drama. It centers on a Chinese family who learns the family's eldest member - the protagonist's grandmother - has a terminal illness, yet decides to keep the news from her, and create a staged wedding to give the family members one last chance to say goodbye.....
The simply titled The Yakuza is likely the best yakuza film made by a non-Japanese director. It follows an American man who travels to Japan to find a friend's kidnaped daughter, but soon encounters members of the yakuza, who are the main organized crime family in Japan (sort of comparable to how Italy and the US have the mafia). While most culture...
The first three feature films from Ang Lee were fairly grounded dramas that often dealt with characters who have differing points of view. The Wedding Banquetis a clear example, in this regard, as it focuses on a Taiwanese-American man living in New York City who keeps his same-sex partner a secret from his traditionalist Taiwanese parents. RELATED...
Even if it's not his most well-known movie, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence undeniably contains David Bowie's best performance. In it, he plays a British soldier who disrupts the way of life in a prisoner-of-war camp run by Japanese soldiers during the Second World War. Despite the two sides not shown being in active warfare with each other, the Brit...
Even if one side of the cultural conflict in the first Black Panther heralds from a fictional nation - Wakanda - it's still a movie that depicts ideologies caused by different backgrounds clashing. The film's protagonist, T’Challa, and antagonist, Killmonger, likely wouldn't be opposed if they'd grown up together, but their differing pasts cause th...
Two years before The Wedding Banquet, Ang Lee explored similar themes of cultural conflict with a very different story. 1991's Pushing Handscenters on a widower who leaves Beijing to come and live in America with his son's family. The widower doesn't speak English and doesn't understand American culture. His daughter-in-law doesn't speak Mandarin a...
French superstar Alain Delon is best known for starring in stylish French crime thrillers, but that wasn't the only type of movie he appeared in. Red Sunstands out as an anomaly in his career, as it's a fairly wild action/adventure movie that aims to merge a Western with a samurai film.

You can often rely on Pixar movies to deal with fairly mature topics whilst remaining family-friendly. Turning Redis a good example of this, as it presents a less intense - but still impactful - look at a culture clashing, showing how a young Chinese girl raised in America butts heads with her more traditional mother, and the values held by much of...
In the Loop shows that cultural clashes don't always have to occur between two groups who speak a different language. It also shows that it's possible to ridicule both sides and mine their arguments for comedy gold, which is what this profane, dark, clever, and very funny political satire does. The UK Prime Minister and the US President both seem t...
Minaritakes an interesting approach to two cultures clashing. The main characters belong to a family of South Korean immigrants living in the US, with the parents feeling more at odds with the culture than their two young kids, who seem to adapt to the American way of life surprisingly fast. It's not so much that there's conflict between the parent...

12 lug 2019 · Having partnered with Hulu last year to bring an anthology series of movies, Culture Shock is a social horror film about the American Dream that tackles issues of identity, immigration, and racism by mixing elements of The Matrix and The Stepford Wives to tell a story that is just too real.
