1. The Chiang Kai-shek government may intervene.
The Nanjing government didn't foresee the film's sympathy, and when MGM decided to shoot on location in China, officials took unconventional steps to rein in the film's production, forcing the studio to hire a nationalist The generals come to advise them on real scenes and costumes.
Chinese people are naive. The US government controlled Hollywood movies only until 1941. I saw that the Chiang Kai-shek government had many ideas. People don't care about you
The second most important thing is to save money!
It cost only $2.8 million at the time. And MGM is particularly used to working indoors. Reduce variables!
At that time, Pearl Buck especially wanted all Chinese people to play the role. But it was also rejected by MGM for the second reason I mentioned.
This heroine, Alan, I think is more lovable. Not at all like Chinese peasant women. Pearl Buck went to Anhui to do the survey. Just think about the women in Anhui. Although able to endure, but also agile.
I think the female character is so important and all the feelings are focused on her. The outside world's sympathy for her with China is also based on this character. But this character lives on
I got the blu-ray version late last year and it was so cool to watch. The part describing the life of Chinese peasants definitely has a sense of pastoral art
The film is overall very good. I really like it. I don't really agree with some small materials, that's all
To be honest, people today don’t know much about that era. This film is also a good sample
