The"People-oriented"Expression in Xie Jin's Films from the Perspective of the New Era Spirit
Examined on the basis of the cultural context of the new era,in a sense,it can be said that Xie Jin's films(represented by the films such as Hibiscus Town,The Herdsman,Legend of Tianyun Mountain,etc.)can be said to express the ethical and flexible expression of historical changes and social transformation from the perspective of individual(or family)living conditions(or survival conditions),which should be a manifestation of promoting"people-orientation"locally:because individuals and collectives are interrelated and inseparable.Of course,its so-called"moralization of political consciousness"and common"happy ending"are actually based on the comfort and spiritual reconstruction of people and even the general public,because to a certain extent,the repeated review of trauma is also inhumane for the trauma subject.In this sense,his films are also writing about the"people-orientation"with a humanistic and humane spirit writing,which also reflects a film director's humanistic feelings and artistic conscience.In summary,reexamining his films in the spirit of the new era and providing a more objective evaluation clearly has positive practical and historical significance.
