Whether in the sixth generation of directors or one hundred years of Chinese movie history,both in the Chinese film industry or the world’s film territory,it can be said Jia Zhangke is the most unique presence.Jia Zhangke,who claims to be a “film laborer”,has set his perspective at the marginal group、the bottom group in the social transformation period,his films talk to the people who“have been tripped over history”in an objective、staring perspective,sincere and equal attitude.His films make up for the lack of China’s bottom edge film,rewrite the Chinese film’s cowardice and escape in the face of a series of social problems in the social transformation period,make the films have a very profound social literature value and significance.This article defines the marginal person in the special transformation period in which the history of the country has changed greatly,and divides the marginal person in Jia Zhangke’s films into four categories:wandering working groups,idle unemployed vagrants,collective misplaced laid-off workers,marginal women in gray areas.They are in the survival and spiritual double dilemma,may forced to be passive or out of the initiative to be the “silent existence” during the national change period.Jia Zhangke through the county homeland,urban foreign landscapes,entertainment venues,station tours and other space objects to show the survival dilemma of the marginal group;through the time modeling to carve small people’s history and to display the marginal group’s daily,and to performance the survival of the marginal group,his film writes a civilian epic.He used full-length shots,broken narrative,simple dialects,pop songs and other means to restore the marginal group’s daily to the real,with the attitude of distant and staring to bring the viewers about life 、 time and other philosophical thinking.So Jia Zhangke’s films have a very valuable social value,they are like the mirrors of the times,record the daily life of the social marginal groups in the China social transition,and criticize the social problems exposed by the state transition,express concern and respect for the bottom of the community who paid a lot.Jia Zhangke’s films are full of humanitarian concerns and moral conscience of intellectuals.
