Real Openness

Kung Fu Panda is a new animated film of DreamWorks, which is set in ancient China and describes how a panda tries buy Inflatable Tunnelto realize his dream. In terms of the contents, it seems that there is nothing negative in the film. Nevertheless, since its arrival in China about two months ago, criticism has never stopped being heard.

To have my own point of view, I also watched Kung Fu Panda, in which, though, what they criticize did not come into my eyes. By contrast, I saw a hardworking animated panda and good comprehension of Chinese tradition and culture in the westerner-made film.

Nowadays, a country could neitheryard Inflatable Games exist nor develop without relating to other ones. In 1978, China carried out the reform and opening-up policy, since which we have been trying to amplify the connection with the world. Besides technology, economy and the like, culture, custom and history are as well what we share to enhance the understanding between the world and ourselves. As a result, appearances of Chinese elements out of China are ordinary or maybe just what we expect.


There are two kinds of censures in general. To begin with, some critics argue the western filmmakers turn a cuddly, simple panda into a greedy, sly one, which distorts the image of China’s national treasure. Then, they judge many Chinese traditional and cultural things are harmed in the film, for example, martial arts’ being westernized.
