The Chinese character, Benedict Wong in ‘Doctor Strange’ (2016)
In his essay, ‘Technology and (Chinese) Ethnicity”, Darrell William Davis tells us about the hi-fi movie with full of different kind of culture–especially Chinese Culture to create the set . For example Chinese gods, feng shui, Qi in Kung Fu.
In the Marvel movie ‘Doctor Strange’ , we can see that the clothing of the characters, the Siheyuan backgound and the Chinese theory ‘Taoism’ and even Chinese character. This film does have interesting Asian dudes in it, most notably played by Benedict Wong . Benedict Wong’s character is actually not awful but pretty great .He’s cool, calm, collected, above the conflict and lives to tell the tale. He is mostly there to show the White male lead how little he actually knows of this far orient mystic world of oriental mysticism.
Chinese culture is a way to add creativity to the movie, also it can attract the Chinese market. Perhaps we can see more and more Hollywood movie with full of Chinese style.
