Why did Red Sorghum become the first China film to win the "Three Major Film Festivals in Europe"?

Red Sorghum depicts a group of ordinary people in China, such as "my grandmother", "my grandfather" and "uncle Lohan", and praises their national spirit of daring to live and die, love and hate, and also reflects on the history, character, psychology, culture and lifestyle of the Chinese nation.

The biggest feature of this film is that it shows the heroic and frank side of China people, which is quite different from the traditional sad and heavy style of Chinese mainland films. Photographer Gu Changwei has excellent performance in framing and color application. The scene where the hero and heroine meet in the sorghum field has a rare beauty of "the combination of scenery and people" in China's films, which makes people relaxed and detached.

The whole movie seems to consist only of yellow and red. Zhang Yimou, a native of Xi, expressed his love for the yellow land by splashing ink, and those yellow lands were the objects he wanted to worship. Red is more vivid. In addition to the "red" sorghum taller than people, there are also "my grandmother's" red hijab, red sedan chair, red shoes, red window grilles on the window, red sorghum wine in the bowl, and red fire.

In the film history of China, Red Sorghum is the first film to win the highest prize in the three major film festivals, and it is also the first film directed by Zhang Yimou. The unique color and unrestrained temperament in this film make people fully feel the atmosphere in this film, and also show Zhang Yimou's infinite potential as a new director at that time.

The three major international film festivals refer to Venice International Film Festival, Cannes International Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival. These three major film festivals are the most authoritative and weighty in the film industry at present, and their highest awards are the Golden Lion Award, the Palme d 'Or Award and the Golden Bear Award, which also represent the highest glory of the world's films.

The three major international film festivals in the world are different from the voting system of thousands of people in the American Academy Awards and the British Film Academy Awards, but adopt the way of "elite politics" to award awards.

Each competition unit has an independent "jury chairman" and "jury members", who are led by the chairman and generally have no more than 10 members. Authorities in the film and literary circles are usually invited, and they will decide the ownership of the award through discussion and argumentation.
