The Empire Strikes
Just learned today that S. Korea has a quota system for its movie industry, which has for the past 40 years, required that cinemas play Korean films for 146 days of the year.
That explains why Korea has such a great movie output of very good films (and a raft of movie shit, but good shit generally and at least Korean-talking-to-Korean movie shit).
I learned of this today as Korea will halve the number of days as a result of trade negotiation pressure (Korea and the U.S. are poised to sign a free trade deal) in which he U.S. was demanding the quota be removed totally.
Kiss the Korean film industry good bye I'd say.
But, gee, to paraphrase the U.S. trade negotiator, it's good news for Korean movie lovers who will finally have access to better films.
How sad.
