Ang Lee’s Film: Eat Drink Man Woman 父亲三部曲之一《饮食男女》
Eat Drink Man Woman is the last film of "Father Knows Best" trilogy. It is a 1994 Taiwanese film directed by Ang Lee. It talks about central elderly figures dealing with the transition from tradition to modernity.《饮食男女》是父亲三部曲最后一部电影,于1994年上映,导演李安。主要描写了出家庭亲情及世代隔阂。 This film tells the story of a semi-retired and widowed Chinese master chef at the Taipei Grand Hotel. Chef Chu (Sihung Lung) and his family are living in modern day Taipei, Taiwan. At the start of the film, he lives with his three attractive daughters, all of whom are unattached. As the film progresses, each daughter encounters new men. When these new relationships blossom, their roles are broken and the living situation within the family changes. The father eventually brings the greatest surprise to the audience at the end of the story.本片讲述了圆山饭店的大厨,每个星期弄了一大桌菜让三个女儿杨贵媚、吴倩莲和王渝文回家来吃饭,但总是不欢而散,反而他为年轻寡妇张艾嘉的小女儿做几个便当菜,却让小朋友们吃得津津有味。三个女儿各有爱情上的烦恼,没有人关心老爸,令他连味觉也逐渐失去了。女儿们本以为从美国回来的归亚蕾很适合跟老爸凑一对,不料他的再婚物件大爆冷门。本片的剧情安排无疑是相当刻意,用隆重的吃饭仪式来架构全片虽符合主角身份,却表现得不够生动自然。不过导演还是将这个伦理喜剧拍得流畅热闹,风格上依旧兼顾中国文化与国际口味,是典型雅俗共赏路线下的作品,那些令人垂涎的菜式展示更成为本片最大特色。 In 1995, Hsu invited Lee to return to Taiwan to make Eat Drink Man Woman, a film that depicts traditional values, modern relationships, and family conflicts in Taipei. The film was a box office hit and was critically acclaimed. For a second consecutive year, Lee's film received the Best Foreign Language Film nomination in both the Golden Globe and Academy Awards, as well as in the British Academy Award. Eat Drink… -

Peking Opera Blues – 刀马旦 – Chinese Movies
English name:Peking Opera Blues Broadcast time:September 6, 1986 Starring:钟楚红(Cherie Chung)、叶倩文(Sally Yeh)、林青霞(Brigitte Lin)、谷峰、郑浩南(Mark Cheng) director:徐克(Hark Tsui) Introduction Today let's take a brief introduction of a famous Chinese movie named "Peking Opera Blues".“Daomadan” is one of the “Dan” roles in Peking opera, and “dan” refers to the female characters of different ages and identities. Daomadan plays the female warrior role that is highly skilled in military drill, usually riding a horse with a sword held in hand. They are mostly marshals or generals; hence often present an imposing manner, such as Mu Guiying, Fan Lihua, etc. In terms of stage performance, Daomadan attaches equal importance to chang (singing), nian (dialogue), and zuo (acting). She is also required to have combat skill, but the combat scene is far less fierce than that of “Wudan”, and stress is laid on figure posture, highlighting the mighty and dignified temperament of the role. Compared with other terminological names of Peking opera roles, Daomadan has got widespread fame for the namesake movie directed by Hark Tsui in 1986 (the film is entitled ‘刀马旦’ in Chinese, which writes ‘Daomadan’ in pinyin, but the English title is ‘Peking Opera Blues’).

As Tears Go By – 旺角卡门 – Chinese Movies
English name:As Tears Go By Broadcast time:June 9, 1988 Starring:刘德华(Andy Lau)、张曼玉(Maggie Cheung)、张学友(Jacky Cheung)、万梓良(Alex Man) director:王家卫(Wong Kar-wai) Introduction Today, I will introduce a Chinese film which called As Tears Go By (旺角卡门wàngjiǎo kǎ mén). So let us have a brief introduction. As Tears Go By is a 1988 Hong Kong film that was the directorial debut of Wong Kar-wai (王家卫Wáng Jiāwèi). Critics have compared the film to Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets, as the central plot revolves around a small time gangster trying to keep his smaller-time gangster friend out of trouble. Wong Kar Wai's debut feature As Tears Go By is a visceral, idiosyncratic gangster picture, a raw and stylish film that balances gritty realism with bold stylization, colorful imagery and rapid leaps into frenzied action sequences or hazy, drifting slow motion. Violence in this film erupts suddenly, its impact heightened by Wong's accelerated cutting, which signals the abrupt transition from ordinary reality to the bloody, brutal hyper-reality of the fight scenes. A fight scene at a pool hall is preceded by a slow, tense buildup as the inept Triad thug Fly (Jacky Cheung 张学友Zhāng Xuéyǒu) taunts a rival, mocking him by moving balls around on the pool table, brazenly cheating and essentially daring the…- 0

Street Angel马路天使 ~ Chinese Movies&TV
Street Angel ( 马路天使; Mǎlù tiānshǐ) is a Chinese film released in 1937. The film was directed by Yuan Muzhi and stars the popular singer Zhou Xuan. This dark comedy—a still hilarious and irresistible love story—may not seem like a milestone, but “Street Angel” (《马路天使》 Mǎlù Tiānshǐ) was the first Chinese movie not about high society. For the first time, it gave voice to Shanghai’s laboring classes. It was produced in 1937, and tells the story of a pair of sisters, Little Yun and Little Hong, refugees from the Japanese invasion of Northern China, who’ve migrated to Shanghai to start life anew. The city doesn’t greet them well. To pay the rent, the older sister is forced into a life of prostitution. The younger sister, being groomed for the streets, reluctantly sings in a low-brow teahouse to the snickers of drunken, lecherous customers. We know—it doesn’t sound like much of a comedy. Through indomitable optimism and can-do spirit, they befriend a motley crew of misfits and social dregs—Little Chen the trumpeter, Old Wang the newspaper hawker, a street peddler, a barber and a dwarf—and strive together to fight for a better tomorrow. ?Shanghai, the city, swings along to the beat…- 0
