Character evaluation

Taking the camera as a pen with expressive and subtle expression, pointing directly at the arbitrary rule and the dark reality, is the consistent theme of the early films of Shen Fu. It is in the process of pursuing the bright with light and shadow that Shen Fu successfully connects the artistic exploration of Chinese films with the humanistic care of the director, and leaves a rare personality and classic discourse for the early Chinese films. Shen Fu's films depict the human relationship with infinite compassion and the worries of the floating world with broad mindedness, deeply explain the realistic situation and historical achievements of the "new realism" films in China, and strive to highlight the spiritual trend and cultural meaning of Shen Fu's early films. It is not only the only way to rewrite the history of Chinese films, but also the important way to promote Chinese film culture to a deeper and broader realm It's a key link. Based on the analysis of most films written, directed or directed by Shen Fu, the dualistic mode of thinking and the creative motivation of "breaking the darkness and pursuing the light" always restrict the creator's narrative structure, lens scheduling, light and shadow design and emotional score. Pursuing the light with light and shadow, the early films of Shen Fu had a broad mind and infinite compassion, and on this basis, they devoted themselves to depicting the worries of the floating world and depicting human relations (review of contemporary films).
