Alvorada Vermelha
2011 · Film · documentary · 27 min
Directed by João Rui Guerra da Mata, João Pedro Rodrigues
The Red Market in Macao. The red tonalities of blood, flesh, buckets and even of the fish’s eyes, carry the audience into a strange and scary universe but also beautiful and intriguing. Rodrigues and Guerra da Mata’s camera emerges like a driving force giving us the exact balance between what exists and what we see.

> except perhaps the mass-media "comedy" industry making offensive Russian accents while insinuating things.
Really? You haven't seen any offensive chinese/asian "accents"?
> I doubt most people could identify Farsi readily enough to understand the propaganda
We generally mock them as sounding arabic with harsh guttural sounds. The exaggerated "phlegm" in the throat sounds.
> I don't think all that many people could tell you if they're looking at Chinese, Japanese, or Korean text;
Does it matter?
> Two of these languages' countries are basically universally beloved in the U.S
Which two are universally beloved in the US? Certainly not japan and korea...
> so it'd be hard to make visual (or even audible) propaganda out of it.
You can... But we just assign the propaganda towards "north korea" because we want to sell movies in china/japan/korea.

There most definitely is an anti-russian, anti-china/asia, anti-iran/middle east/muslim, etc "sentiment" in the US. Just because you know a few cosplay fanatics doesn't mean the US "loves" these asian countries. The truth of the matter is that we view them as competitors at best and enemies at worst.
