Lol you literally said she could barely speak english which is patently false especially because she was brought up in an english speaking household. She was born in malaysia then went to school in the uk so you’re obviously talking out of your ass or more concerning, you have a legitimate hearing problem.

And frankly, it’s besides the point. She has actual dramatic acting chops and more range than Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan outclasses her in stuntwork (shocking for a stuntman turned actor) and comedic chops but she is a better dramatic actor in terms of more nuanced expressions and conveying emotion.

Oh and p.s, maybe actually watch the movie? I mean you’re commenting on her acting when the buzz is revolving around a film that you said you haven’t watched. A pretty asinine comment in general.

> EEAAO will have nothing to stand on

Lol who’s upvoting this dumb take? “Nothing”to stand on. This is how I know you’re not even trying to be a little objective (yes, objectivity exists in art).

I’m saying this as someone who thinks Cate Blanchett should win and also like Tar a hair better than EEAAO, there’s obviously substance and emotional resonance in the film that you’re just flat out not acknowledging which doesn’t make you seem smart, it just makes you seem stubborn and narrowminded.

You overcorrected. OP is obnoxious and incorrect about Tar and you’re exactly like them except in the opposite direction. Also judging from your comment below, I don’t believe you know how blending comedy and drama works. A film can have funny scenes interwoven with scenes with dramatic weight. I’m not sure why you’re failing to reconcile the two considering real life is also rife with these moments and blends.

> they are not exactly the same nowadays and back then…very close to tradditional

What. They are exactly the same characters which is the only reason I can even recognize them as someone who can only read chinese and not japanese. The characters are identical to what I see in chinese signs/books/internet forums. This is going to give a blantantly false impression to people.

Also keep in mind there are less than 100 kokuji characters while kanji numbers in the tens of thousands. It’s a weak attempt to severe the connection.
