Despite the break from Maoism following the fall of the Gang of Four and Deng Xiaoping’s movement towards capitalist modernization, the brutal events of Tiananmen Square caused great concern for a territory facing many changes in the near future. Even before these disturbing events Hong Kong’s imminent return to a motherland with a different dialect and social customs evoked insecurity on the part of a population still remembering the violent events of the Cultural Revolution as well as the Maoist- inspired riots that affected the colony in 1967.

Cette grande première cannoise répondait alors à une certaine nécessité, celle de prouver que, contrairement à la rumeur, le film n'était pas un gigantesque ratage. Coppola se trouve donc sur la Croisette pour montrer qu'il a une véritable production sous la main, et ne la quittera qu'après avoir empoché ex-aequo la Palme d'or avec le Tambour de Volker Schlôndorff.

  • Changing Attitudes Toward War and Women in Twentieth Century Film
    Changing Attitudes Toward War and Women in Twentieth Century Film Mary Ann T. Natunewicz INTRODUCTION This unit has been written for use in two eleventh grade United States History courses. One course covers the period from 1865 to the present, while the second course, an Advanced Placement program, begins at the period of colonization. This unit will be used over a semester in sections that deal with World Wars I and II, the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War. Most of the curriculum here could also be adapted for ninth grade courses. Each section of the lesson plans is designed for one or two 45- minute periods. The school in which this will be taught is an urban high school with 2500 students, a significant number of whom are refugees who have had first hand experience with war. Students who are still learning English will find films that use dialects and non-standard English especially challenging. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF UNIT It is the purpose of this unit to show students that war films do more than tell stories and provide catharses for viewers. Each film also conveys the social values and the mores of the period in which it was produced and addresses attitudes not only toward war, but also toward topics closely associated with war, such as the morality of fighting, the causes for which it is moral and just to fight, the definition of heroism and the responsibility of the individual to exhibit ethical behavior. Frequently, the causes worth fighting for are such things as political systems, home and family.

    In Memory of the Star-Studded MP & GI In 1956, Loke Wan-tho of Singapore's Cathay Organisation established in Hong Kong Motion Picture & General Investment Co Ltd (MP & GI) which thrived in just a few years. Loke Wan-tho, the life and soul of star-studded MP & GI, is himself the brightest star. MP & GI was famed for its Mandarin comedies and musicals. In fact, its Cantonese unit was set up before the Mandarin unit, producing box office successes such as The Romance of Jade Hall (1957) and Bitter Lotus (1960), though it was those middlebrow and westernised features which became MP & GI's trade mark. MP & GI's Cantonese features thus provide useful yardsticks against which their origin and interrelationship with the Mandarin ones are measured. What connections and conflicts do these Cantonese films have with the rest of the Cantonese film world? The two units converged, at the release of The Greatest Civil War on Earth (1961), breaking the deadlock reached by the segregated Mandarin and Cantonese worlds. The world of homeland sentiments and classy Shanghai school so frequently portrayed in Mandarin contemporaries is slowly fading away, pulling itself closer to the Hong Kong society. The focus on Cathay/MP & GI in this issue allows us to share with the writers opinions, first-hand experience, and research that they have of the company, apart from supplying us with the tracks left behind by those involved in the preparation of the film retrospective to be launched between March and June. Despite the vanishing of the MP & GI myth, we still remember fondly the orbit once frequented by the galaxy of stars and how precious it was to have these stars, both on and off the screen, gathered together for a united goal.
