Talk About The Nationalization Drive Of The Chinese Film Since New Period

Even though movie is a kind of exotic article in China, it is natural for the movie to absorb essence of traditional Chinese culture, respect aesthetic habit of Chinese audience and form its work characteristics and national style during its own development process because it has reflected history & present situation and life & struggle of Chinese nationality with common people of China as its audience target since the birth of China national movie. Thus, nationalization road of a hundred-year China movie is obviously presented.During early literary creation of China movie, opera, novel, folk tale and poem etc. of traditional literary form becomes main sources for movie writing, and directors of various periods are also characterized by consciously drawing lessons from literary techniques of artistic forms such as traditional opera, novel and painting etc. of China.In the new era, two times of heated discussions for nationalization of movie have been started between 1980s to early 21st century in theoretical circle of movie. Meanwhile, from the perspective of its own development of the new era movie theory of China, there is a trend pursuing nationalization.Just like the theory, the nationalization pursuit of the new era movie literary creation has varied reflections among directors of different generations. National life, national character, national spirit and their essence constitute the main content of movie manifestation. From the perspective of movie form, narration method, structural form and artistic technique etc. of opera, screenplay, poem and national painting are still reference target for nationalization literary creation of movie. While holding no objection of inheritance and reference, movie artists conduct modification and innovation of traditional literary technique, and make an effort to combine western movie art with that of China, reaching desirable artistic expression effect. Besides inheritance and reference of traditional culture from the perspective of expression method, the new era movie can further take the essence of national spirit and national soul from the aesthetic sense, being infiltrated with strong national customs and national charms; and the persistence and development for theory of artistic mood becomes the most important content. From the overall perspective, the new era China movie can combine national aesthetic tradition with modern movie language, manifesting the aesthetic characteristics of China movie under the basis of absorption and reference of expressive artistic forms of other nationalities while keeping national characters of its own.
