The twists and turns of the Wang Long family in "The Good Earth", the natural and sincere performances of the main characters, and the sincere feelings of the main characters have provided the American public with a rich image of Chinese peasants, which to a large extent corrected their former generalization of the Chinese people. And vague understanding. The perseverance, industriousness, fearlessness of the Chinese peasants in the face of natural disasters, and their ability to discern morality in the film left a deep impression on the Americans at that time. Its value is not only in providing a true and credible image of a non-Western nation and people, but also in that it can, to a certain extent, transcend the differences of race, ethnicity and culture to express the plight of human existence and human life. Will and emotion. However, the film also inadvertently created a stereotype of the hardships of the bottom Chinese public. They have always struggled in an extremely difficult environment and continued their lives with primitive means of survival. The land is their only life circle.
The theme of "The Good Earth" is positive, healthy, inspirational, and the storyline is ups and downs and thought-provoking. The performance of the actors is even more exquisite, and the portrayal of the protagonist's Chinese peasant image is vivid, which can be regarded as a masterpiece showing Chinese themes. However, due to the constraints of political, cultural and other factors, the film is not perfect in many aspects. Parts of the plot and performance are inevitably a bit contrived. But on the whole, the film successfully portrayed the images of Chinese farmers such as Wang Long and Alan, reversed Americans' always one-sided and wrong concept of Chinese people, crossed the barriers between different races and cultures, and caused world differences. The resonance and reflection of the national audience is especially valuable.
