Classic Culture in Light and Shadow - Chinese Culture and Film Art

Movies and Chinese culture may appear unrelated, but when combined, they can enrich each other. This book explores how Chinese culture enhances the artistic depth of movies while movies bring abstract cultural concepts to life. By analyzing popular Chinese and Western movies such as "A Chinese Ghost Story," "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons," "Painted Skin II," "Swordsmen," "Red Cliff," "Inception," and "Wall Street," it explains Chinese philosophical thoughts, moral ethics, historical concepts, religious culture, language literature, and artistic aesthetics in a simple and understandable manner. The book demonstrates how movies can promote and interpret cultural classic concepts, elevate social culture and art, and facilitate the inheritance and widespread dissemination of traditional humanistic spirit.
