4.0 out of 5 stars
insight into a new China,
By
This review is from: The Urban Generation: Chinese Cinema and Society at the Turn of the Twenty-First Century (Paperback)
As China develops, this book is a good account of how Chinese cinema is documenting the many changes occurring in its society. While the movies carefully avoid "sensitive" political issues, they explore the human aspects of how people cope with massive and frequent changes. Some themes explored are common to any society.
From a reading of the book, the backdrop to many of the recent movies is the industrialisation and urbanisation of the large cities. The films also show the different types of characters (some shady) inhabiting, at least in the popular fictional imagination, the urban scene. For the non-Chinese reader, the book offers insight into a new China. |
