중국영화의 민족주의 현상에 대한 연구 -영화 <영웅>과 <집결호>를 중심으로-

Abstract

We have the necessity to consider correlations between movies and Chinese politics at the time of thinking about China. Also, considering a recent tendency that China has more effects on foreign conditions-Economy, politics and culture, we cannot pass over the enlargement of Sinocentrism out of Chinese policies. Specially, Chinese people who regard themselves superior to other people pay attention to propagating their culture by reflecting their various culture contents in their movies. For, it is possible because Chinese movies come to the spotlight. In the above situation, understanding about China through their movies means that we grasp how China copes with accidents seeming to be universally happened in the world and that we grasp Chinese features reappeared in movies getting a view of China from the external area of China as well as Chinese features reappeared in Chinese movies by paying attention to special stories of only China. Through such grasping, we should cope with Sinocentrism carefully. Two movies, <Hero> and <Assembly>, are representative works of movie directors representing China and got a great deal of box-office records within China. The narrative of Chinese various cultures and history-The past and the present- shows various things of Sinicism. We should pay attention to ‘Showing various things of Sinicism’. Chinese people will develop their cultural thesauri with every means imaginable as far as they take pride in their cultural potentiality and feel that the potentiality can become a core power of helping them lead the world in the 21st century. The above phenomenon was already proved in the two movies. And the two movie directors linked their movies with indisputability of Chinese socialism in the same context. As examined above, the movie <Hero> doesn’t justify Qin Shi Huang’s political history not showing in the movie however good he had his moral duty and indisputability. Violence in chivalric movies expresses absurdity in the society. In the movie <Hero>, Chinese people suffer from wars caused by him more and more though Qin Shi Huang attempts unifying China for Chinese people in difficulties by frequent wars. It shows contradiction with violence as it is and is another disclosure hidden in the other sideof Sinocentrism. The movie <Assembly> is a blockbuster making public relations of Chinese political ideology. Also, we can discover enough that the movie raises the common racialism and nationalism of Chinese people through Hollywood-style customary narrative. Through moving images as above, Chinese people will develop racialism more firmly to collect Chinese power in the enlargement of cultural racialism Sinocentrism regarding them superior their culture to others and in the international order system of multi-polarization in the 21st century. Therefore, we should continue to study on Sinocentrism and to check it.
