Plot / Synopsis

The most outstanding representative film soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China is The White-Haired Girl, co-directed by Wang Bin and Shui Hua. It is based on the legend of a white-haired female immortal. It tells of Yang Bailao, a tenant farmer who shares his life with his daughter Xi'er. The despotic landlord, Huang Shiren, attempts to forcibly take Xi'er for himself. On the eve of the Chinese Spring Festival, Huang forces Yang to sell his daughter as repayment of the debt Yang owes him. Yang drinks bittern and dies. Xi'er is taken by force to Huang's house and raped by the landlord.

The girl is in love with Dachun, a young farmer in her village, who tries to help her escape but fails. He goes to find the Red Army. Xi'er runs away from Huang's house and hides herself deep in the mountains. She leads a miserable life, and her hair turns completely white. Two years later, Dachun returns to the village with the army unit he is in. He finds Xi'er and helps her get even with the hated landlord. They marry and lead a happy life after emancipation. The film shows the oppression suffered by millions upon millions of Chinese peasants in the Chinese society before 1949 by describing the fate of the leading character and showing the theme that "the old society turned a person into a ghost and the new society turns the ghost back into a person".

Xi'er was not only the sufferer of the oppression caused by the old society but also a girl who showed the resistant spirit of the laboring people. The film had a distinct national style with its integrated plot and artistic form. It combined analogue with montage and used comparison of the atmosphere and coordination of the plot to achieve a high artistic effect. The White-Haired Girl was an important effort to explore a national style in the China's films after 1949. In 1951, it won the Special Honorary Prize at the Sixth Karlovy Cary International Film Festival. More than six million people watched the film in the first round of release in China. In the 1950s, it was screened in more than 30 countries and regions. The French cinema historian Georges Sadoul set a great value on the film in his book Annals of the Cinematographic Art. ~ chinaculture.org

Synopsis

Legend has it that more than 2000 years ago, the Kingdom of Nangnang possessed a mystical Ja Myung Drum (Ja Myung Go) which will sound by itself when enemies invade. In reality, Ja Myung Go does not represent the drum but instead, is embodied by the King's daughter, Princess Ja Myung. Princess Ja Myung and Princess Nak-Rang are born on the same day and time to the same father but different mothers. It is predicted that one princess will become the nation's savior while the other will bring the entire nation down. Using her family's powerful background, Princess Nak-Rang's mother successfully establishes her daughter as the savior princess while Princess Ja Myung, who is branded the princess of destruction, escapes death with the help of her mother and grows up among the common folk. When she learns of her true identity, Princess Ja Myung returns to her Kingdom, resulting in a new wave of internal politics and power struggles. Princess Ja Myung and Prince Hodong of the rival state of Goguryeo fall in love but fate has it that they cannot be together. Princess Nak-Rang, who is also in love with the Prince, willingly gives her nation up to him by destroying her Kingdom's mystical war drum. Princess Ja Myung, fighting to save her nation, finally pierces her sword towards her beloved Prince Hodong...

Rashomon(Akira kurosawa)

Also Known As:Rashomon
Year:1950
Directed: Akira Kurosawa
Genre:Action,Adventure
Runtime:1.28.09
Country:Japan
Language:Japanese
Subtitles:English subtitle
IMDB:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashomon_(film)'

The film depicts the rape of a woman and the apparent murder of her husband through the widely differing accounts of four witnesses, including the rapist and, through a medium (Fumiko Honma), the dead man. The stories are mutually contradictory, leaving the viewer to determine which, if any, is the truth. The story unfolds in flashback as the four characters—the bandit Tajōmaru (Toshirō Mifune), the murdered samurai (Masayuki Mori), his wife (Machiko Kyō), and the nameless woodcutter (Takashi Shimura)—recount the events of one afternoon in a grove. But it is also a flashback within a flashback, because the accounts of the witnesses are being retold by a woodcutter and a priest (Minoru Chiaki) to a ribald commoner (Kichijiro Ueda) as they wait out a rainstorm in a ruined gatehouse identified by a sign as Rashōmon.

Spiritual kung fu Jackie Chan 1978

Also Known As:Half a Loaf of Kung Fu
Year:1978
Directed:Chi-Hwa Chen, Wei Lo
Genre:Action,Adventure
Runtime:1.34.15
Country:China
Language:English
Subtitles:No English subtitle
IMDB:http://www.amazon.com/Half-Loaf-Kung-Fu-Spiritual/dp/6305253501
Cast: Jackie Chan, Ching Lan Chin, Kang Chin, Sae Ok Kim, Ching Lun Li

Jackie Chan is a student at a monastery always getting in trouble, and being generally mischievous. Whilst this has happened, a ninja steals the Seven Fists booklet from the temple (so clearly Jackie dressed as a ninja!). James Tien acquires the book and is killing all the Wu-Tang warlords in order to become leader. At this point a comet hits the temple and the ghosts of the Five Animal styles appear in the scripture hall. It is probably worth mentioning that the comet is represented by a sparkler against a black cardboard back drop, with a few stars painted on it. This was in the same year as Star Wars!!

So Jackie is the only person who is not scared of ghosts so he spends some time in the temple and eventually is confronted by the ghosts = Women painted white with red wigs, each with a plastic animal on their head (Dragon, Snake, Tiger, Crane, Leopard) who teach him the five animal styles which can defeat the Seven Fists. The Wu-Tang leader visits the temple, is then killed and Jackie leaves the temple (only after taking the tests) and fights James Tien in the end fight, plus there is a small twist after that fight that I shall not spoil.
