Hong Kong Cinema Hollywood Is Term Paper

A recent market report notes,

In recent decades, famous Hollywood directors, such as Quentin Tarantino and Oliver Stone, have credited the influence of Hong Kong film styles on their works. John Woo has relocated his career to Hollywood to become one of its biggest directors. In fact, not only has John Woo's style influenced others, but his current films are Hollywood. ("Hong Kong movie skills grow in Hollywood" para. 2)

Precisely why Hong Kong films have had this influence is hard to say for certain beyond noting that filmmakers like Tsui Hark and John Woo adapted American genres to the international market in a way that re-energized those genres and showed American filmmakers a new way to approach traditional material. Hong Kong filmmakers like John Woo and Ang Lee have transferred to Hollywood to carry the transformation even further. Works Cited
