Yet Another Chinese Remake
It appears that it's a Central Academy of Fine Arts student film. Looks like they have the same shots, but a different ending…and a very interesting bike indeed. My thoughts. I think it's great that people really like A Thousand Words. I appreciate that the short has moved people to remake it. I just don't appreciate how they rip off our work and use almost the same identical shots with no mention of the original work they just copied. If you watch it, you'll also notice they use the same background sounds in the first half, but then add in their own track in the second half. Their sound/music is also really loud (maybe to cover up for Chanda's score?). They had opportunities to really make this their own, but I don't think they took that opportunity. Maybe it was the goal of the project? Take something and just create a different ending.
Here it is:
What do you think?
