Zhang Yimou
Zhang Yimou is" The fifth generation director One of the representative figures of the film in the history of Chinese film occupies an important position. His films are a combination of national culture, social thinking, cultural roots and film innovation. He is obsessed with exploiting the potential of film language, pursuing the strength of composition, the richness of ideas and the fullness of colors, and giving people a strong visual impact through the unconventional screen modeling, reaching a unique artistic realm. ( Western culture network evaluation )
Early Zhang Yimou was known for directing films full of traditional Chinese culture Art film Famous, the art is characterized by the vivid details and the romantic theme of each other, good at film color science and capture the delicate and moving things in the inner world of characters. Zhang Yimou's works are characterized by a deep understanding of Chinese traditional feudal consciousness and a strong critical spirit, a strong sense of history and life consciousness inherent in it, and a strange landscape of primitive folk customs. At the same time, he is full of eulogy and praise for the spirit of female resistance. Behind his strong colors and bold composition, he insists on the truth of life and the lyricism of narrative. Zhang Yimou's skill lies in his ability to strike the heartstrings of the Chinese people strongly and accurately, timely and ahead of time. Zhang Yimou's films have a wide range of themes, including rural areas, cities, history, humanity, reality, love, martial arts and war, etc. His methods of expression are constantly updated, and his films have won many awards at home and abroad, making Chinese films that have been quiet for a long time begin to attract worldwide attention [82-84] .
