Best Chinese Film Ever Made!
Frankly, I used to have a very negative attitude toward Chinese media. I hated almost all of the Asian stuff, except Japanese Kaiju-related media and Indonesian horror films. I accidentally turned the TV on and saw this movie, Reset (2017). I watched it and I really really liked it. I suddenly judged that China is the developed country in term of society and attitude of people. Later, I tried to watch more Chinese movies, but most of them make me sick, because of the misogyny, fragile female roles, Stockholm girl who loved narcissistic male protagonist. I stopped watching Chinese media for many years after that period, until 2025. I started to heavily watch Chinese media in 2025, after seeing Jeremy Xu in Braveness of the Ming. However, I am disappointed about the plots of many dramas. There is no REAL strong female protagonist, but in this movie, Reset. The quality of this movie is like horror and thriller films made by Warner Bros and Blumhouse. The role of women could teach young girls what they should really learn. Adult women are really adults. They are not childish like in those dramas.
