French Cinema Goes Global

-
With the upcoming release of Russell Crowe's latest film The Next Three Days it is clear that French films are filtering their way into mainstream English language cinema. For decades Hollywood studios have been making adaptations of successful French films, capitalising on the country's unique talent for storytelling. The Next Three Days is based on Fred Cavayé's suspense thriller Pour Elle (For Her) a huge box-office hit starring Vincent Lindon and Diane Kruger.  The film features an ordinary man inspired by the love he has for his wife to pull off an extraordinary feat and beat seemingly insurmountable odds. This showcases French storytelling at its best. Here follows a list of original French films from the last several decades and their respective Hollywood re-makes:

Anthony Zimmer (2005) starring Sophie Marceau - The Tourist (2010) starring Angelina Jolie

  https://www.istudy-china.com/  All of these I'm telling from personal experienc: Check and recheck you are not falling for anyone's hunger for money. Chances are, you are going to a University through an agent (you have to) who might be a fraud and only wanna take you there for money. So be careful. But if you are in good hand, I'll say why China to study in… China universities are craving for international students literally. So you'll get special care. “English” knowing people are treated special there. So you can make your remark easily. As they want more and more international students, you can get involved in student business. By student business I mean, you got to convince other students to go to those universities and you'll profit big I assure you. (Actually I hate this about China and what I talked about on top) Teachers are very helpful Residence rent and other daily necessities are very cheap priced there. So you dont have to spend much. Education is al...

Generally foreign students study Chinese language and culture in China, and some come to study how to make their business work in China. A lot of Koreans do that. In a word, they study in China because they will have future interactions with the country or Chinese people. If you have the same plan, why not? But otherwise, China's education system is far from the best in Asia, not to mention in the world, you might not get the most advanced knowledge in many fields in a Chinese university. What's more, the schools and universities generally don't put local students and international students in the same class or even the same buildings, mostly because common Chinese students have a Chinese based curriculum and you wouldn't likely have it. Let's say, China is not ready to deal with overseas students yet.
