Dutch documentary about chinese farmers
Dutch documentary about chinese farmers
Not that interesting and the wow footage from mostly alterac valley doesnt really make sense but its funny when the chinese guy tries to explain to his dad what he actually does in the big city

It's quite an ironic deal that a farmer's son (and another farmer's daughter) fled the country of China to the major urban centres in order to get away from the typical farmer's life and yet end up doing just exactly that, only completely differently.
The son's dad is mostly concerned about his son not breaking any laws and being a stand-up Citizen of China. I think it's a poster of Mao in the hallway of his cabin too (the father's farm).
Think about what you're doing guys if you buy gold! (or ore, since that's apparently being farmed as well at special request).

Bit overdramatic, but overall very well-made (from what i've seen). Also quite disturbing.

Roses are red. Violets are blue. In soviet Russia, poem writes you.
You need to understand Dutch and have the will to watch it all the way through in order to see it all but here are some highlights.
It's a reasonable artistic movie in which the virtuality of WoW gets superimposed on reality.
People moving around in the cityscapes or villages of China with the typical WoW nametags above them, even with the CrossRealm * added to them for flavor.
Scenes from WoW mostly conclude Alterac Valley, probably to accentuate the difference between the peaceful reality versus the wartorn virtuality even more and regularly appear briefly in flashes of superreality on desolate walls or vistas that are dull and empty in real life.
You get a glimpse into the typical China farming operation which handles with gold acquisition, raw material acquisition as well as powerleveling.
What is shown is the stark difference between the workers who punch in around 10+hrs a day, sometimes 36 hours contiguously (what happened to Tired Time aka Chinamode?).
The workers get portrayed as snoozing in front of the machines in order to remain sane and living in a cruddy appartment with 8+ in shoddy beds and whatnot.
The boss and owner of the shop, who is proud to have a 10000 euro (ten-thousand euro) profit months now and then, has a businesspartner studying in Germany who acts as a liason probably for the German market.
The owner and his fianceé enjoy quality meals in a restaurant and discuss moving to another new location which is being worked on and prepped.
Fresh new paint job. Apparently the employee's live in a dormatory provided by the company as well.
The farmer's son apparently was married to a girl from his village, invested around 5000 euros into building their home only to eventually get a divorce filed by his wife and that home ripped from him. By law.
In other words, it's socialism/communism at it's finest and Mao would be proud.
The dramatic documentary would probably do quite well internationally if they reworked it into English subtitles.

Well, its just a perfect example of how western-world people take advantage of inferior and weaker people. If blizzard entertainment would remove all money dependency in WoW, what would then happen?
Less people playing? and what would happen to all the farmers? think of what the consequences would be. Its a quite difficult situation. Ofc players dont wanna grind 15010250 hours for some freaking virtual gold, its easier to let someone else do it. Its just heirarchy....
