Someone in Asia is probably typing a similar comment about how westerners only like mindless kung fu movies.
I think the reason why people like the more “mindless” movies that have more action and little talking has more to do with the language barrier. If it’s dubbed, it seems silly. If it’s subtitled it means missing some part of the performance because you’re constantly alternating between looking at faces and looking at text. Cool action scenes are cool action scenes no matter the culture and language.
You may be shocked to learn the Mr. Bean is a very popular comedy in a lot of Asia. Do you think that it’s only Mr. Bean that can make them forget the tough and hectic everyday life? Or maybe it’s just because Mr. Bean doesn’t have a lot of dialog?
