Not directly relevant but whenever I consume Indian media, I’m struck by how utterly foreign it feels. I watch a Chinese show? I see where it comes from. Mexican? Through line found. French? I understand the satire. Indian social norms and cultural development seem either so idiosyncratic or novel that they sincerely take me out. They, as a people and a nation, befuddle me in such a unique way. This isn’t a critique, just someone looking from the outside with curiosity and confusion.
Chinese media: everything is perfect in an uncanny valley sort of way
Mexican media: drugs, Jesus, boobs, or cartels
French media: like a student film with a budget
Indian media: this guy just punched a car so hard it turned into a transformer, then he turned into a transformer, then they fought and now everyone’s dancing
