If we consider the western movie culture’s development is a development of technology, we can also call the development of Chinese movie as a development of thought. We can see so many differences between them from every aspect.
At first, the themes of the films are different. We can see almost everything from the film, sometimes directors convey not only one thought, and some others try to discuss problems which should be thought by us carefully. But for Chinese films, themes seems more realistic——the family, friendships, love, conflicts, betray… Chinese movies focus more on the society but not the individuality. they want to express some common phenomenon or current affairs in their movies. To sum up, Chinese movies are more emotional, while western movies are more logical. That’s because our Chinese always focus on morality, and western people tend to analyses things with science.
Another difference is the technology. In fact we always cannot believe that our country can release a marvel movie like the Lord of the Ring, because we don’t have such technology. Though since Hollywood movies began to be familiar to us, we started to learn from them. Hollywood movies care more about their special effects, and they will pay a large part of their fees to make it more real. That means from those movies, we can see another world we haven’t imagined! For the lack of
technology, Chinese movies only can compete against with them by plots. However, Chinese movies nowadays seem never care about how terrible their plots are. Good stories are rare, but we have. Just like Farewell My Concubine, its value can also be appreciated by foreigners. That’s a typical Chinese movie which shows an age for us.
The western movies always have a style of individuality. That’s what different from us. We always have awareness that all of us are a group, while western advocate the individualistic heroism. So many superhero movies such as Superman, Batman, they praise the perfect and adventurous mind of heroes. For China, we have different conception for hero——hero is who can sacrifice themselves in the danger and never give in to evil, even though he is a common people. So that we have lots of movies described the life of common people, they may be not handsome, not rich, not so strong, even have some bad habits, but they have their principles, and strive to fight with fate.
Despite those factories, we can also see something from the western directors. They always find some new ways to express them. From the silent movie to sound movie, from the black-and-white movie to color movie, from real characteristics to roles who created by computer. All of those revolutions mean their creative minds. Some classical movies maybe very old-fashioned now, but for the age they produced, they pioneered the age. We just lack such ideas. That’s why our movies falls now, since we always imitate those movies which surprised us, but seldom create a completely new Chinese style movie. We also have so many things to learn.
To learn from western movies, isn’t mean give up our traditional ideas. In fact, now more and more foreigners begin to be interested in Chinese culture, and put them into their movies, most of them caught world’s eyes, like Kung Fu Panda, Mulan. The cross cultural exchange in movies proves that our traditions are still alive and popular. That’s also a suggestion that Hollywood needs more themes that now. People may feel
tired about western movies, and they are also searching a new way. The foreign
culture seems a great way to convey more interesting thoughts for people. Hollywood can learn from us, and we also can learn from them. Some movies such as Guasha , they discussed the problems and differences between Chinese and western, give a new view about the cultural fusion. Through simple but interesting family stories, make us have a new conception about Chinese in America. That’s also a creative thought which we study from western. To find the ideas about other cultures, is a chance to understand foreign culture, also a way to complete our own culture.
