So, I didn't expect to feel this strongly against Mulan 2020. I expected it to be soulless (which it is), like the new Lion King . I expected it butcher the story with virtue signaling (which it does), like the new Beauty and the Beast.
But I did not expect the film to goes absolutely count...

A new month is upon us, a lot of new things are happening. Whatever you do, please remember to stay safe. Just because 2021 is approaching, does not mean all the crisis we are experiencing will magically go away.
Remain vigilant, and let's all fixes everything one at a time!
A quick reminder that you can now pledge per year instead of per month. Patrons who choose to pledge an entire year at once gets 15% off, basically 2 month off.
You can also now change your pledge currency to British Pound or Euro. If you intent to change, remember to unpledge by tomorrow, ...

Since I forgot to mention in our last update:
Patreon now allows patrons to pledge a creator for a year all at once.
Patrons who choose to do so for Accented Cinema gets a 15% off the total, essentially 2 months free.
Anyway, the video.

Just a quick reminder than you can now pledge in British Pounds and Euros. If you would like to switch currency to avoid exchange fees, simply unpledge before the end of the month, and come by next month.
Otherwise, this is going to be a shorter update, since I'm kinda under the weather tod...

Patreon recently starting to allow patrons to pledge in (iirc) British Pounds and Euros. So if you are from Europe, and would like to avoid being charged conversion fee, I believe you can change it, now. Check out 2020-08-16 23:51:38 +0000 UTC View Post
Back in the early days of this channel, I made a two parter series about the brief history of J-horror films. In them, I avoided talking about Noroi, because I thought it differed greatly from the core J-horror formula.
Also I did not own a copy of Noroi.
Fast forward to today, Noroi ...

Welcome to August. We are already 2/3 of the month through this year, yet February feels like three years ago.
Oh well, at least there's fireworks in Animal Crossing.
When I said I'll take my time due to health reasons...
I didn't mean for this video to take ALL my time. Jesus, editing this in after effect is a real pain in the backside, lower back specifically. Thank god I have a standing desk.
Anyway, posters! If foreign films rarely enter the we...

Sorry there's no video this week. What originally planned this week as a simple episode is now snowballing into the biggest project in this channel's history.
So yeah, please give me a few days. You'll see the final result and go like "Oh, so that took the time".
Hi, everyone! Hope you are doing well.
Unfortunately, Accented Cinema is still running on battery saving mode right now. My insomnia has gotten better, but it is still making me tired constantly, so I'm taking things slower than usual.
As a result, expect some delay for our next video...

Been wanting to talk about this movie since it came out, finally found a topic that feels fitting and appropriate.
In my mind, this might be the best Zhang Yimou movie yet, certainly his best blockbuster for sure. Rewatching his works since Hero makes me realize how much his style matured o...

Can't believe this year is half done already. I'm already looking forward to 2021... For obvious reasons.
It has been a while since we last done an episode like this. This was a fun one to make. No matter how many times I rewatch these fight scenes, it is still just as good as ever. It also serves as an excuse for me to talk about an underrated gem: Jet Li's Fearless.
Just a heads up, if you wa...

How was everyone's week? My insomnia kicks back into gear again, unfortunately. Hope you all stays healthy and active!
Anyway, Happy Father's Day!
Hope you all enjoy yesterday's special video. Making highly topical and political videos like that is scary. Outside of it naturally being controversial and invites hate, it also adds a layer of financial pressure to the channel, as the video is, by its nature, not advertiser friendly.

I'll admit, it scares me to make this video.
Not only is this topical, political. Not only will many people hate this video and hate me. Not only will the channel be flooded with hateful comments.
YouTube also don't like videos like these where it shows real life violence.
But I...

Hope you all are doing well and staying safe. A lot of things are going on around the world at the moment. But don't lose hope and hang in there. Great unrest leads to great changes.
Sorry about the late update! I have been struggling to write for the past two days... for obvious reasons. Viewers of the channel probably know I have strong opinions in regards to racism. Which is why the recent events affected me emotionally, more than I expected.

Ghibli films are like Zelda games, the first one you watch always has the most special of places in your heart. My first one happens to be Whisper of the Heart, which I caught on TV when I was around time. Memories are vague, but the experience is still vivid.

Yes, that's a Smash Bros. reference. No, there's no relation to the video. I just ran out of thumbnail ideas.

Oh yes, despite the crazy looking thumbnail, it is indeed an episode of Accented Cinema. (Might end up changing the thumbnail later, this looks a bit too much even for me).
