Personality assessment

Zhang Yimou is one of the representatives of the "fifth generation directors", and his films occupy an important position in the history of China films. His films combine national culture, social thinking, cultural roots and film innovation. He persistently explores the potential of film language, pursues the strength of composition, the richness of ideas and the fullness of colors, and gives people a strong visual impact through unconventional picture modeling, reaching a unique artistic realm.

Zhang Yimou was famous for directing artistic films full of China traditional culture in his early days. His artistic features are realistic details and romantic themes. He is good at the color of movies and the delicate and touching things that capture the inner world of characters. The outstanding feature of Zhang Yimou's works is his profound understanding of China's traditional feudal consciousness and strong critical spirit, which is a strong sense of history and life, a strange landscape of ancient folk customs, and a full praise and praise for women's rebellious spirit.
