Most Chinese films are known to focus on patriotism and honor. Chinese cinema is basically based upon the things that are happening now or the things that have taken place in the pass. It also deals with the important things that are meaningful and very i,portant to Chinese today. On the other hand, American cinema connects subjects such as history, business, and English with other studies. American cinema focuses more on the society and what is going on today. It also has many different styles. American cinema isn't as traditional as Chinese cinema or as meaningful. Both types of cinema are different but share some characteristics because they can both reflect on romance and other things that we deal with as humans. American cinema deals more on different lifestyles while Chinese cinema mainly focus on their own lifestyle.
