Everyone loves a good movie, however, many agree there are just some movies that shouldn’t be shown. Golden Screen Cinema (GSC)’s most recent lineup has received surprising resistance from the least expected group.

On 30th October, GSC announced that they would soon be screening “The Battle at Lake Chang Jin (长津湖)”. Surprisingly, many netizens were quick to state their opposition in the comments.

“The Battle at Lake Chang Jin” is 2021’s highest earning film and the highest grossing non-English film of all time. The film was commissioned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and released last month internationally. “The Battle At Lake Chang Jin” details a fictional account of a Chinese militant during the Korean War in late 1950. It supposedly discusses the triumph the Chinese military had over international forces led by the US.

Many remarked that a movie with communist propaganda should not be shown in Malaysia. “Stop showing CCP propaganda on (GSC’s) screen please!” one netizen requested. “It’s evil!” Another asked, “(Is) CCP’s propaganda movie (allowed) in Malaysia’s market?”

Others asked how FINAS (National Film Development Corporation Malaysia) allowed the screening of such a film. “Why (did) FINAS let this pass but cut out other movie’s sex scenes?” one comment read. Several suggested other movies they’d rather watch, such as “Twilight”, “Barbie” and “Leftenan Adnan”. “(Showing) us Leftenan Adnan (would be) better,” one netizen stated. “After (influencing) Chinese brains, now (they’ve) come to (influence) Malaysia’s?”

GSC has not responded to netizens’ displeasure, nor have they announced anything else about the show. Although a poster for the film was teased, there is no release date stated.
