You’re watching their interpretation of a story. Sometimes this can even be a good thing when they highlight something you may not have really noticed.

Oh yea. This reminds me. I see this in a recent thing I watched, 3 Body Problem.

There is 2 versions of it, there is a Netflix adaptation made in the west, there’s a Tencent version made in China.

In the book, there was a scene depicting the Cultural Revolution of PRC, but the Tencent version cut it out, while the Netflix version did not hold back.

So I get it, it can suck when things get cut out.

But when sometimes its great to be able to see the story, instead of just imagining it. I guess you really have to do both to experience the full story, well… different interpretations of a story.
