The article discusses the similarities between the new Chinese movie Clash and a real-life group of Chinese men who formed an American football team, the Chongqing Dockers, as recounted by the author in a 2014 article. Clash appears to have drawn heavily from this story of cultural integration and teamwork, featuring a foreign coach guiding the team in their sports journey. Despite previous attempts to adapt the story for Hollywood, it seems a Chinese production studio has captured this narrative instead, raising ethical questions about originality and ownership.
"Clash in many ways borrows from the real-life story of the Chongqing Dockers, a group of Chinese men and their American coach who navigated challenges to form an American football team."
"The story of the Chongqing Dockers not only draws on sports themes but also embodies the spirit of cross-cultural interactions, making it appealing for international audiences."
