The Theory Of Ming-liang Tsai's Movie Style

Ming_liang Tsai is such a sober director that he observes the world with his special visual angle and non_plot narrate.Among his works,the social responsibility and the worry about the times disappear.Instead,he shows great interesting on the single man.Now Tsai has become one important representative of the new movie movement in Taiwan.So today discussing and analyzing his works get more significant.A Taiwanese film that won the International Critics Prize at the Berlin Film Festival may not be released in Taiwan if any of its sexually explicit scenes are ordered deleted by local censors, the film's director told reporters in Taipei. Returning to Taiwan after receiving the award for outstanding artistic contribution, director Tsai Ming-liang vowed not to distribute his film, The Wayward Cloud, in Taiwan "unless in its totality." The Taipei Times observed today (Wednesday) that movies are generally barred from showing genitals, sexual intercourse or nudity. But Tsai commented, "Audiences are smart enough to tell if it is pornography. This film can jerk tears. Can a porn film have that effect?" Ironically, the film deals with two porn actors. The personal statement comes out of his own environment, because living in Taiwan.So he keeps showing his questions of the human and the society ,but he is awake too.That is to say he also keeps the certain distance away from the surroundings. So it's actually a reflection of contemporary society. And being so dark, and full of disease, it's his observation of people also being so lonely, existing in their own solitude. It's what he observed about Taipei. It's a city that developed too fast and too soon; we've seen the negative sides of all this progress and civilization.The art style of his film is often based on the long cast .We will discuss the long cast from several sides in the paper.And compare his work with HouXiaoXian ,who is another great director in Taiwan.At last, I would like to find out the reason of his film style,why he likes to make them in the way .
