@DevEnvChina #mountainpatrol what is the point of the mysterious teleporting crude oil barrels in 50% of the shots?

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #mountainpatrol all of these flood plains are noticeably not flooded. Looks like China can't escape its other problems.

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #mountainpatrol bags open, fabric is expensive. Do you really need to cut it open from the bottom before you knew he was guilty

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #mountainpatrol without entirely meaning t, this movie shows that Han China and Tibet have almost completely different cultures

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #mountainpatrol that seemed... very realistic to say the least. Did we just witness an actual animal poaching?

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #manufacturedlandscapes Remember all of those dystopian sci-fi books where the poor live in the waste of the rich?

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #manufacturedlandscapes Huge telescopic lens or really invasive cameraman?

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #manufacturedlandscapes the music here really does its job

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #manufacturedlandscapes that reprimanding sounded eerily parental, like the boss owns his employees

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #manufacturedlandscapes "The Factory of the World the Channel of the World." Catchy.

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #manufacturedlandscapes I don't think I had ever realized how much stuff 7.2 billion people would consume

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #morningsun all these things dyed with cinnabar red, makes you wonder if there was some element of mercury poisoning involved

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #morningsun between the Nazis, Soviets and Maoists, I'm surprised any culturally significant artifact survived the 1940's-60's

@DevEnvChina #morningsun "everyone had to be able to swim across the river"--why the obsession with taking metaphors literally?

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #morningsun fifty years past and this member of the Red Guard is still afraid to show his face speaking out against the party

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #morningsun bolts in a machine is an ironic metaphor--a pile of identical bolts is as useless as a society of identical farmers

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #morningsun I'm surprised a religion that condemns opulence and inequality was so detested by a government that does the same.

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #morningsun a ballet in military uniforms and a forest backdrop is still a ballet, not some revolutionary proletariat culture

[Alex Ermides @Ermides19]

@DevEnvChina #morningsun interesting how Chinese parades featured happy masses while Soviet parades featured terrifying military displays
