Films During the Cultural Revolution (1966 - 1976): Institution and Ideas In Chinese Film (2)

Representing the red culture, the films in the Cultural Revolution were the product of the radical thinking in the 1930’s. They were also caused by the system and ideology in the previous 17 years. The book analyzed the films from two perspectives. One is from the directors, actors and actresses, criticisms on films, film production and censorship. The other is from modal films, regular films, and conspiracy films. The feature films were similar in ideology, structure, and narration with the modal films.
