Ways of Facing Time: The Three Gorges and Others

(Old article)

Choosing to watch Jia Zhangke's "The Three Gorges" on the first day of 2007 does not seem to be without special meaning now. It 's like the last sentence in the movie's own story introduction:

"Pick up some that should be picked up, and discard some that should be discarded."

In fact, it fits my mood very well. We always need a symbolic time to give an account of our past and a direction to our future. The characters in Jia Zhangke's films, however,...

Understanding Movie Space with "The Good Man in Three Gorges" (remember Dai Jinhua's lecture) (recommended)

1. General: "The Three Gorges Good Man" presents a rapidly changing China in a very documentary way.

It is recommended to organize government officials, coal mine owners, sweatshop owners and real estate developers to watch

It doesn't feel particularly shocking, because the things told in the movie are just copies of reality, and we may have become accustomed to these realities. I think we should think about how to protect the fruits of labor and labor protection of the people at the bottom. For example, how to reduce the chance of accidents for coal miners; for example, how to make migrant workers receive their wages on time.

It is strongly recommended to organize government officials (especially those...

graceful nostalgia

When I watched "The Three Gorges", I felt that Zhao Tao in Jia Zhangke's lens was the oriental woman in my heart. After a long journey, I went to find my unsympathetic husband. He walked on the road with a calm expression, but he didn't stop at the place he passed by. He took the water bottle with him and collected water.

The trackers don't know where they've gone

    "The Three Gorges Good Man", online and offline masters have long commented on the movie. Seeing the blood seal the throat, it is extremely profound.
    No matter what they say or what they say, China really needs directors like Jia Zhangke. This type of film is also indispensable, at least in addition to the large-scale imported and exported films, we can also see other things.
    The lives involved in these films seem to be around us, seem to be far away from us, as...

You can be so ordinary that you can't see all the turmoil around us at all, or you can ignore the spiritual ruins reflected by Jia Zhangke's lens with the opinion of a senior literary youth. You can live in what you think is a peaceful and prosperous age. , don't even know what we're...
