Al final del sendero un carro llega desde la ciudad, es el nuevo maestro de la escuela, al fin van a tener uno en la pequeña aldea. La joven protagonista de este poema de Yimou se quedará prendada de las lecciones en voz alta del maestro, la escuela aún en construcción, los alumnos repiten las letanías, las frases de todas las mañanas. Todos se irán cansando de acercarse a la escuela, todos menos nuestra heroína. Ella se hace la encontradiza en el camino, el maestro pregunta a los niños su nombre mientras la joven se aleja nerviosa, olvidando su cesto. Es la inocencia, el amor original, la pureza de uno de los más cautivadores films de Zhang Yimou, “El camino a casa”. La determinación femenina, la audacia de una chavala en la China de los años 50, la misma que mantendrá en el albor de su vida cuando se obstine en enterrar al marido siguiendo la tradición, así se lo pedirá al hijo que llega de la gran ciudad. Todo contado con un respeto a lo ancestral, a los mayores, así lo repiten los niños en la clase cada día, “respetar a los mayores”, eso que olvidamos en nuestras sociedades occidentales. Se idealiza el pasado rural sin cargar las tintas contra la represión del sistema maoísta, como sí hizo en “Vivir” o en “El regreso a casa”. Un aula presidida por un retrato de Mao, tan austera como la de Antonio Machado en Baeza, el sentimiento de la honestidad de un maestro que da su vida por enseñar es universal, por eso nos llega, el amor primero también lo es. Ese elogio de la docencia, enmarcado en una historia de amor en la China de Mao en una película que abre y cierra en blanco y negro, la tristeza de una mujer que acaba de perder a su compañero. El corazón del film en color es mágico y sensorial, reparando en objetos para transmitir la sencillez de un tiempo, la horquilla en el pelo, el cuenco roto y reparado por el artesano, las dos chaquetas de la campesina. Todo enmarcado en la sencillez expositiva y los colores prodigiosos de la fotografía de Yong Hou, los trigales, los campos de mijo, los verdes, los rojos, los naranjas y los amarillos de las verduras en la cocina humilde. Yimou se embelesa y nos enamora del rostro de Zhang Ziyi. Esta noche una anciana teje un paño rojo… Salvador Limón, Chari Medina, Raúl Gallego y Zacarías Cotán

Mit Filmen wie "Hero" und "House of Flying Daggers" wurde der chinesische Regisseur Zhang Yimou vor fast 20 Jahren auch hierzulande einer größeren Fangemeinde bekannt. Die Anmut der Bilder und die Raffinesse der Kampfchoreografien seiner Filme sind für viele Cineasten und Liebhaber des Martial-Arts- und Wuxiá-Genres prägend.Regisseure wie Yimou haben in den letzten Jahrzehnten den Mix dieser Genres nahezu perfektioniert. Mit "Shadow" legt er einen Augenschmaus mit vielfältigen Zwischentönen vor, der zur mehrmaligen Sichtung einlädt.Neben der ausführlichen Kritik zu "Shadow" besprechen Ronny Rüsch und Axel Max in der neuen Folge von "Oscars & Himbeeren" außerdem die HBO-Serie "Mare of Easttown" mit Kate Winslet, die Serie "Snowfall" unter dem Mitwirken von John Singleton und erklären, warum der neue X-Men-Film "The New Mutants" Murks ist."Oscars & Himbeeren" - der ntv-Podcast - wo sich jeden Freitag alles rund um Streaming-Dienste wie Netflix, TVNOW, Amazon Prime & Co. dreht.Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

Join us as we take a no-spoiler, quick-fire look into the latest spy movie, CLIFF WALKERS. Set in the 1930's, CLIFF WALKERS is an espionage movie about four Chinese agents trying to extract a prisoner from Japanese occupied Manchukuo. There are numerous plot twists and double-crosses which should intrigue any spy movie fan. You can send us your comments at info@spymovienavigator.com.
En primer plano la efigie de Gong Li da la noticia a su madrastra, se va de casa para ser la concubina de un hombre acaudalado. Dos lágrimas se derraman por el inmóvil rostro de la estudiante. Es la China anterior a Mao, la de principios del siglo XX. Yimou se inspira en la novela Esposas y concubinas de Su Tong, y alcanza las más líricas cotas de su filmografía. Cuatro mujeres encerradas en una jaula dorada. Todo se cuenta desde una perspectiva femenina, al señor apenas se le ve la cara, habla en susurros y muchas veces fuera de campo, solo se oye su voz. El aire viciado del palacete y las intrigas, celos e inquinas entre damas y sirvientas se harán insoportables para la nueva dama. En esa casa de oropeles y piedra las reglas deben respetarse. La cuarta esposa debe olvidar su vida anterior, resignarse a la rutina, a la falsa calidez de unas linternas rojas. De ahí que muy temprano la joven salga a los tejados a escuchar el canto de su compañera de encierro, ella si sonríe y le aconseja, debe aceptar su nueva vida. La belleza pictórica sitúa la película de Yimou a la altura del más colorista Kurosawa, el de "Ran" o "Kagemusha". Los tonos rojos, anaranjados, transmiten una artificiosa calidez, las gamas de grises y azul cobalto en el horizonte invernal anuncian el drama. La puesta en escena, la decoración, la cuidada utilización del color, la minuciosa composición en planos fijos y apenas movimiento de cámara, la iluminación natural sobre el mismo escenario, hacen de este film una obra bellísima. Yimou se preocupa en mostrar los rituales tradicionales con parsimonia. La ceremonia de colocar los faroles en el aposento de la consorte elegida, el relajante masaje en los pies, solo recibido la noche que el señor decide compartir con la afortunada esposa. Y nunca mejor dicho, porque las mujeres en ese lugar están atadas a su destino desde que entran. Las normas son estrictas, marcadas a fuego. La segunda dama, con su cara de Buda y corazón de escorpión, conoce bien la lección. Ya lo recita el niño en el poema: " Me muero de pena en mi jaula dorada...". Esta noche escuchamos el sonido de la flauta de bambú en el patio... José Miguel Moreno, Zacarías Cotán, Salvador Limón, Fran Romero y Raúl Gallego.
Professor Michael Berry (Asian Languages and Cultures, UCLA) joins PhD candidate Wesley Jacks (Film and Media Studies, UCSB) for a post-screening conversation about Zhang Yimou’s 1987 film adaptation of Mo Yan’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Red Sorghum. Berry explains the legacy of the so-called “Fifth Generation” of Chinese filmmakers including Yimou, and how Red Sorghum’s production during the era following Deng Xiaoping’s 1978 shift to an open door policy resulted in a film that was both uniquely a product of its own time, and subject to less censorship and thematic restriction than other eras of Chinese filmmaking. A milestone adaptation of an important literary text, Berry describes some of the history of Yimou’s work on the project, and how many of the cast and crew involved in Red Sorghum have since gone on to have celebrated careers.

Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective
We get into "Hero" a mythical retelling of the historical story of the first emperor of China who used military conquest in a bid to unite the country and implement peace. Not to be confused with the Mariah Carey movie of the same name, Hero starring martial arts legend Jet Li in a visually stunning martial arts epic where a fearless warrior rises up to defy an empire and unite a nation! With supernatural skill ... and no fear ... a nameless soldier embarks on a mission of revenge against the fearsome army that massacred his people. Let's just say that we find the means dubious to attempt to achieve a noble goal. Show notes: http://www.ActualAnarchy.com/71 Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter. We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film. The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film. We publish at least once per week; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics) and have guests. SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS (or iTUNES)
