Comment on "Steering swordplay" (China Daily, Jan 11)
Innovation and inspiration are what many Wuxia (martial hero) films lack. Most Chinese filmmakers seem unable to inspire and instill a sense of purpose on a higher level among their audience. Many of their films have the same theme - a burst of killings and revenge - which present the audience with a picture of brutality and uncivil behavior.
It is time Chinese filmmakers and TV series producers made movies and programs that inspire the audience to higher purposes in life, to civil behavior, to pursue innovation and to work toward building a better society. In other words, they should try to entertain the audience with positive effects.
Filmmakers and TV series producers have the responsibility to present entertainment that is constructive and positive for society, especially for children.
