Some comments refer to feminist national narrative psychoanalysis of body politics. But at this time, it is impossible and unnecessary for you to ask Zhang Yimou to rely on Dai Jinhua. You don't need to push too hard. The New York Times film review, always pretending to be intellectuals, said that this film is not as good as "Nanjing Nanjing"; the implication is that Lu Chuan is more profound. I can't help thinking that Dai Jinhua came to give a lecture in New York at the beginning of the year and criticized Lu Chuan's "South", believing that the small humanitarian sentiments of the middle class easily catered to the mainstream Western morality. The New York Times thinks that Zhang Yimou didn't choose his position/perspective, but I think Zhang just wanted to be comprehensive and not offend anyone, so he didn't have a choice. We Chinese people/audiences do not have a political consensus on values, so our directors will naturally remain ambiguous. The ambiguity is round and meticulous, good-looking, and it is enough to have a catharsis effect. Good.
