> “Born to Fly” is the highest-profile flick of this type to normalise the notion that the present-day PLA’s mission is to fight and kill Americans.
Meanwhile in Hollywood:
>> It is defended by ... and fifth-generation Su-57 fighters as well as older F-14 Tomcats.
Makes me wonder who could be the people manning Su-57 and F-14? Martians?
> Told by radio that they are in an area under China’s jurisdiction, the foreigners retort: “We can come and go whenever we want.”
Ask the recipients of the US' bombs for the last 30 years how they feel about that.
> <small>PLA</small>
Really?
> Alas, “Born to Fly” is closer in spirit to the first “Top Gun”. That film from 1986 shows obnoxious young pilots helping a hegemonic America enforce its will, without concern for the niceties of international law.
It's quite amusing to see this after all that bashing of evil Sino filmmakers.
