Movie watch time: 10/29/2011 evening
Dad's questions:
Q: What is the theme of the documentary? Why is it titled "Made in China"?
Vania: The movie is about a guy searching for his father's past in China. The title is because his father was born in China.
Q: How do you compare the contemporary China to the old China in movie?
Vania: The contemporary China is more wealthy. More people move to live in big cities. The old China has more problems such as the Japanese bombing.
Q: Comparatively, you are "Made in America". How do you think of the Chinese heritage in your blood?
Vania: I am fine of being made in America. I have not thought a lot of my Chinese heritage.
Q: What is the most impressive scene in the movie to you?
Vania: How the movie director has dedicated to the mission.
Daughter's Questions:
Q: How do you rate the movie?
Dad: I like the movie. It contains many pictures and videos of the old China. I feel I have learned a lot of the past of my own ancestors.
Q: How do you like the new China?
Dad: In new China people certainly have lived much better than in old China. But still, people do not have much freedom of thinking. Most importantly, many contemporary Chinese do not even know that they are taken off the ability of free thinking by the education system. This is probably the saddest side of the contemporary China.
Q: How do you compare China to America?
Dad: China has much longer history than America. Chinese people often think things more throughout than Americans. But due to the same reason Chinese people are less creative than Americans because creation often means take more risk and make more mistakes.
