General Introduction: A. Simulacra B. Jia Zhang-ke 2. Questions for Group Discussion 3. Plot and Characters 4. Places and Spaces of Flows Jean Baudrillard: The Order of Simulacra The Four Phases of Images: Medieval Period (Religious Art) • The image is the reflection of a basic reality; Renaissance and Enlightenment (Baroque Art) • The image masks and perverts a basic reality Industrialism (Mechanical Reproduction) • The image masks the absence of a basic reality Post-Industrial Society (electronic, genetic reproduction) • The image bears no relation to any reality whatsoever: it is its own pure simulacrum (256) Jean Baudrillard: The Order of Simulacra Post-Industrial World of Simulacra Simulacra = the hyperreal, whatever that can be reproduced; " . the generation by models of a real without original or reality: a hyperreal" (253). We are living in a world dominated by images & signs in mass media, social media, banking system, digital reproduction, and many other orders of simulacra. It is a realm of hyperreality and simulations where truths no longer exist. ORDERS OF SIMULACRA Group 4, 2010 Simulacra and Simulation (English 1994; French: Simulacres et Simulation 1981) 1. Symbolic Order: Society as a fixed system of signs distributed according to rank and obligation 2. First Order of Simulacra: The Early Modern period, from the Renaissance to the Industrial Revolution. Simulacra aim to restore an ideal image of nature, true originals underlie the fakes. 3. Second Order of Simulacra: From the Industrial Revolution to the middle of the 20th century. Mass production of copies or replicas of a single prototype appear, just as real as the prototype 4. Third Order of Simulacra: The present age - dominated by simulations, things that have no original or prototype. Death of the real: no more counterfeits or prototypes, just simulations of reality - hyperreality. THE HYPERREAL • “The real is produced from miniature units (matrices, memory banks, command models) – and can thus be reproduced endlessly. • “The real no longer has to be rational; it is operational – and since it is not enveloped by an imaginary, it is no longer real at all. • “Hyperreal: the product of an irradiating synthesis of combinatory models in a hyperspace without atmosphere.” Group 4, 2010 DISNEYLAND AS HYPERREALITY • Based on reality • Reproduced endlessly • Reality ≠ hyperreal • Disneyland ＝hyperreality EXAMPLE: BAMBI a spotted deer Bambi OTHER EXAMPLES OF SIMULACRA • Literature: (creation myth) - Ovid’s Metamorphosis Galatée (ivory statue) - Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein the monster • Magazines photo of models touched up by computer • Film (3-D animation) - Jurassic Park dinosaurs - Superman super-powered hero - 300 entire film shot in front of a blue screen • TV: - Reality shows world of fantasy that viewers tend to be engaged in Group 4, 2010 Reference: Simulacra: Examples A. the biological and scientific – 1. simulation of symptoms; 10. DNA model reproduction; 11. Nuclear deterrence B. the religious -- 2. the simulacrum of divinity C. museumification of culture -- 3. the return of the Tasaday; 4. the salvage of Rameses' mummy, 5. return of part of a Cloister to its origin, D. popular culture -- 6.

There is no longer any medium in the literal sense: it is now intangible, diffuse, and diffracted in the real, and it can no longer even be said that the latter is distorted by it. …the event filtered by the medium the dissolution of TV into life, the dissolution of life into TV — an indiscernible chemical solution: we are all Louds [read: Kardashians], doomed not to invasion…but...to their infiltration.” Jia Zhangke 賈樟柯 vs. The 5th Generation NEW WAVE (6TH GENERATION) THE FIFTH GENERATION The 賈樟柯 Jia Zhangke 張藝謀 Yimou Zhang Past Red Sorghum 《紅高粱》(1988年) House of Flying Daggers 《十面埋伏 》 北漂(Floating Generation) , (2004 年) chronicling post-socialist China’s Raise the Red Lantern 《大紅燈籠高高掛》 changes (1991 年) 1) Hometown Trilogy Shan-xi 山 The Flowers Of War 《金陵十三釵》 (2011 西汾陽 年) 2) The World《世界》 陳凱歌 Kaige Chen 3) A Touch Of Sin《天注定》 Farewell My Concubine 《霸王別姬》 (1993 年) Yellow Earth《黃土地》 (1984 年) Jia Zhangke 賈樟柯 vs. The 5th Generation 1) claims that he wanted to produce films after seeing Yellow Earth (黃土地） 2) While in Beijing Film Academy, “…after four years of watching Chinese films, I still hadn't seen a single one that had anything to do with the Chinese reality that I knew” (qtd in Tweedie 284 ).

  • Redirected from Films Considered the Greatest Ever) Page Semi-Protected This List Needs Additional Citations for Verification
    List of films considered the best From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Films considered the greatest ever) Page semi-protected This list needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be chall enged and removed. (November 2008) While there is no general agreement upon the greatest film, many publications an d organizations have tried to determine the films considered the best. Each film listed here has been mentioned in a notable survey, whether a popular poll, or a poll among film reviewers. Many of these sources focus on American films or we re polls of English-speaking film-goers, but those considered the greatest withi n their respective countries are also included here. Many films are widely consi dered among the best ever made, whether they appear at number one on each list o r not. For example, many believe that Orson Welles' Citizen Kane is the best mov ie ever made, and it appears as #1 on AFI's Best Movies list, whereas The Shawsh ank Redemption is #1 on the IMDB Top 250, whilst Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is #1 on the Empire magazine's Top 301 List. None of the surveys that produced these citations should be viewed as a scientif ic measure of the film-watching world. Each may suffer the effects of vote stack ing or skewed demographics. Internet-based surveys have a self-selected audience of unknown participants. The methodology of some surveys may be questionable. S ometimes (as in the case of the American Film Institute) voters were asked to se lect films from a limited list of entries.

  • Discussing Zhang Yimou's Use of Colour in 'Hero'
    Discussing Zhang Yimou’s use of colour in ‘Hero’ in a historical and cultural context, and assessing the domestic and international response to his work. As a student and admirer of all different sorts of filmmaking, I have developed particular interest in certain aspects of the craft, with one particular being an inventive use of colour within films. When a filmmaker pushes past the idea of colour simply just ‘being there’ and actually makes use of it in a particular way I always find it elevates my emotional response to the piece. However, when I began to research for this essay I found a surprising lack of material on the different uses of colour in film. Whilst explaining this mystery, Dalle Vacche and Price (2006) wrote ‘unlike the major areas of investigation within film studies – genre, auteurism, national cinema – to name but a few, colour remains an area of inquiry significantly less well heeled’. Therefore I wanted to use this essay to investigate one of my favourite directors, Zhang Yimou, and pull apart all the reasons why he pushed colour to its limit in his signature film Hero (2002). I will be looking at the different readings of his expressive use of colour in this film, as well as the critical and commercial response to it around the world, and also explaining how the use of colour has been an artistic choice throughout film history. When taking a broader look at the use of colour throughout film history, one point immediately becomes apparent: colour wasn’t always an option for the filmmaking community.

  • Cinematic Reconstruction of Historical Trauma in Twenty-First Century China

This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Does Time Heal?: Cinematic Reconstruction of Historical Trauma in Twenty-first Century China By Shiya Zhang Bachelor of Arts., Jilin University, 2004 Supervisory Committee Dr. Richard King, Supervisor (Department of Pacific and Asian Studies) Dr. Katsuhiko Endo, Departmental Member (Department of Pacific and Asian Studies) iii Supervisory Committee Dr. Richard King, Supervisor (Department of Pacific and Asian Studies) Dr. Katsuhiko Endo, Departmental Member (Department of Pacific and Asian Studies) Abstract While the whole world is talking about China’s rise in wealth and power, most focus has been placed on understanding China’s present policies and future orientations. However, very little attention is devoted to examining how historical consciousness affects present China. People take for granted that the past—particularly the landmark traumas of the communist decades— is a far-reaching historical discontinuity, and that China’s profound changes in every aspect of society have rendered the past increasingly irrelevant. However, this thesis argues that this assumption is wrong. This thesis explores the ways that Chinese filmmakers rearticulate the historical traumas which continue to affect Chinese society in the post-WTO era.
