...what they describe as "Western sensibility" and "Western storytelling techniques" to their productions - but in so doing, critics say, they sometimes homogenize what should be distinctively Asian work. Miramax bought the 2001 Stephen Chow movie Shaolin Soccer - then the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong's history - only to recut, dub and delay the new version's release for almost two years. When it finally emerged, many fans of the original thought it ham-fisted. In the Jackie Chan pic Armour of God, the brothers excised a narrative back story that had served to explain the tension between Chan...

...airplane, or even at worst on an ipod, they are never going to see that character, and an element of the story will be lost. I would never want the audience to be able to touch a couple of buttons and move an arrow key and suddenly recut my film to be able to see the background better on a smaller screen. If it's an interactive movie that allows the audience complete control, that's not my business. But I am not in favor of movies that I make being so malleable in the hands of an audience, where...
