In today's news:
The best movie in Asia, a new update for YouTube, and more movies are delayed.
All that and more, coming up next.
[悲情城市] 名列亞洲最佳影片 A City of Sadness Named Best Asian Movie
Taiwan's first presidential election was in 1996. It only became a democratic country in 1991.
台灣第一次全民投票選總統是1996年，1991年才成為民主國家。
Before this, up until 1987, Taiwan was under martial law (軍法).
That means the army ran the country, and it was not separate from the government.
A famous movie director called Hou Hsiao-hsien (侯孝賢) made a movie about this time.
It's called "A City of Sadness" (悲情城市).
It has won many awards.
And now, it is considered the best movie in Asia.
That's according to a ranking (排名) from the Busan International Film Festival (南韓釜山國際電影節).
The Busan International Film Festival, or BIFF, makes a new list of the best films in Asia every five years.
A City of Sadness moved up five places to number one since the last list.
A City of Sadness is about a family in the late 1940s that lived during Taiwan's "White Terror" period (白色恐怖時代).
"White terror" is when the government purposely makes people feel scared and unsafe a lot.
Taiwan's White Terror period began with the February 28 Incident.
A City of Sadness shows some things that happened at this time..
白色恐怖的目的是讓人害怕。台灣的白色恐怖時代開始於二二八事件。
Two other Taiwanese movies are in the BIFF's top 10 movies from Asia list.
They are "A Brighter Summer Day" (牯嶺街少年殺人事件) and "Yi Yi" (一一), both by Edward Yang, also known as Yang De-chang (楊德昌)。
YouTube不再顯示倒讚按鈕 YouTube Removes "Dislike" Counter
What kind of videos do you watch on YouTube?
Do you use the "like" and "dislike" buttons?
你會使用"按讚"和"倒讚"的按鈕嗎?
People use these buttons to show if they like what's in a video or not.
Someone may be talking about something people agree or disagree with, and they can use these buttons to express how they feel.
You can see how many "likes" and "dislikes" a video has.
But not for long.
YouTube will no longer show how many "dislikes" a video has.
But why have they done this?
YouTube said it is to stop "dislike attacks" on people.
This is where people encourage others to increase (增加) the "dislikes" of a video.
YouTube說這是因為倒讚按鈕會引發"倒讚攻擊"，很多人會鼓勵別人一起來倒讚。
Some people see it as a kind of bullying (霸凌)..
And YouTube thinks its new idea will help stop "dislike attacks".
But some people think the move is a bad thing.
Some say they use "likes" and "dislikes" to decide whether videos are trustworthy (可靠的).
And others said it limits personal expression.
Some people think YouTube is trying to protect big companies from receiving dislikes on their videos.
What do you think?
有些人覺得隱藏倒讚不對，它限制了個人表達自由。也有人說也許YouTube是在保護大公司免於倒讚攻擊。你覺得呢？
許多電影都被延後 Many Movies Being Delayed
Several big films have been postponed.
One movie in particular (尤其是) is being pushed back almost a full year.
The fifth Indiana Jones movie was supposed to come out in late July of 2022.
It will now hit theaters in June of 2023.
第五部印第安納·瓊斯被延後將近一整年，2023年六月才上映。
Several Marvel films are also having their release dates changed.
The next Doctor Strange, Thor, and Black Panther movies are being bumped (延緩) by several months.
This is also the case for the Captain Marvel and Ant-man flicks.
These delays are all because of production problems.
五部漫威電影也都被延後幾個月。
