Red Sorghum

Red Sorghum Clareholt China's new culture scene film Red Sorghum is one of the most popular fifth generation films in China and abroad. As an American teenager, it may be average, and I saw a new view of China through this class. I would like to compare the Western interpretation of China. The first thing I did was to compare Chinese movies with American famous movies. Zhang Yimou's first film director, Red Sorghum, is very popular both at home and abroad.

Reading gave me a different perspective on the red sorghum, especially the number of criticisms it received. Negative criticism against Red Sorghum is diverse, it is a fantasy of the power of men distorting and distorting Chinese culture and rituals, insulting China with women, there is no depth, using so-called "Chinese character" That has been accomplished. Success abroad Most of these criticisms are effective, but in general I think that as many supporters are watching, this movie is a part of the problem part of Chinese nationality and the interesting view of mankind I think that it transcends. As it is, it is a celebration of life. For me, it is "a means to prove both ends" program. In other words, although there are problems in many respects, Zhang realized such things consciously, exaggerating ceremonies, making romantic farmer's life and getting a deeper meaning.

I like Red Sorghum 's modern / post - modern aesthetics. I like the tension of incompletely fulfilling stories like Raymond Carver's short story. Red Sorghum can not be solved as people expect. The movie is said by "grandchildren" and we have never heard of anyone seen or heard of it. As this story is told by this unknown grandchild, I think that it will record his family in his life first. But that is not the case. We did not know this talker. You do not need to know that the character is his grandparents and father. The end of the story is irritated and it is not solved. Zu Li, Gong Li passed away, we saw my grandfather and his son, their fate is uncertain. The movie is definitely not closed, but it is part of the movie that will also be interesting. It left us our own problems

Between 1923 and 1976, the plot of red sorghum developed mainly in the three generations of the Shandong family. The narrator tells the story of his family's struggle. And it begins with a brewer, Sorghum, and a Resistance Fighter during the Second Japan - China War. This novel also details the civil conflict between the fighting Chinese population, including hostile groups and political forces. This book also touches on the 1972 cultural revolution and the resumption of Japan-China relations.
