| Andre Bazin, the famous French flim theorist, had far-flung influence on not only the world movies, but also the Chinese filmic theories and practice. There had been wide and deep studies on Bazin of the Chinese film circles for a long time. However, these productions had not been sorted out in order. So I am trying to finish this work through this dissertation.The dissertation consists of five parts. Besides the introduction and the appendix, another three parts describe the Bazin's influence on Chinese movies in turn according to historical clues.The introduction introduces Bazin's resume, system of his theory and his status and significance in academic history and developmental history of the international movies briefly.The first part describes elementary cognition on Bazin and correlative filmic genres of the Chinese films circles, which are Nee-Realism in Italy and the New Wave in France in 1950s and 1960s. China should have possibility to know Bazin further at that time. Unfortunately, because of ideology and some other factors, the effort of the Chinese circles to joint with international filmic theory had been cut off.In the second part, I used two periods to describe the integrated introduction about the Bazin's theory of the Chinese film circles, and the translation of the foreign studies on Bazin and the digestion and acceptance and the criticism of the Bazin's theory of the Chinese film circles in 1980s. Besides those above, I also describe the influence of Bazin on the film creation of this period. Bazin was thought much of by the Chinese circles in this period. The articles on Bazin emerged on a large scale. In the preceding half period, praise was dominating among these comments. In the other half period, criticisn took the place of praise.The third part describes the insistent study on Bazin under the background which filmic theory study was snubbed after 1990s of the Chinese circles. Furthermore, they had found new research subjects. Among them, one subject had showed great significance on how to explain Bazin's theory afresh in the digital age. Though Bazin's theory had become one element among many elements already, it still had great influence on Chinese filmic practice in this period.The appendix describes long-shot technique independent developments in Chinese filmic practice before the influence of Bazin. But it cannot strike Bazin's status. And the long-shot technique isn't the same as that of Bazin advocated.There are more than sixty-one thousand words in all. |
