Reflections on 600-character serfs

The film "serf" tells: Qiangba is a serf. His father died, and his grandmother raised him and later died. When the master treated him as a domestic slave, he stopped talking, like a mute. One day, Qiangbalando told him that the PLA had entered Tibet. The next day, Lang Jie went to see the PLA. Lang Jie forced him to back. He threw Lang Jie. Lang Jie hates the PLA. Langer was afraid that Jamba would wake up and let the housekeeper drag him to death. At this moment, Ge Sang came and saved Jamba. They are going to find the People's Liberation Army. Jamba and Lando met Langer when they escaped. They jumped off the cliff, but they didn't die. Lando was saved and became a new man. Jamba was caught back. When Lang Jie fled abroad, he made a big bet. When a PLA man saved Jamba with his own life, Jamba was very angry and got into a fight with Lang Jie. Jamba woke up. He gave Tudengzang's weapons to the People's Liberation Army. Tudeng set fire to the temple, trying to frame the PLA. Jamba exposed Tuden's plot. The serfs were liberated, and Qiangba could speak. This film shows the sharp contradiction between the cruel serfdom and the serf's demand for complete liberation. Wang Dun, a Tibetan actor, accurately showed the deep and complicated inner world of the characters and created a serf image brilliantly. The film integrates records and stories, poetry and drama, and its style is dignified, concise and profound. The use of long shots, symbolic modeling of light and shadow and special effects make the film have strong artistic expression. The film won the Golden Eagle Award at Manila International Film Festival in the Philippines on 198 1. This film is the product of a typical new China literary thinking mode. The novelty of the film lies in that it tells the story of Tibet for the first time on the movie screen and shapes the typical image of Qiangba. Through the plot of "Three Falls, Wandering" by Qiangba, this paper describes Qiangba's personality and the process of his awakening. In particular, the symbolic clues that pretend to be deaf and dumb and finally open their mouths have a strong emotional impact. It is particularly worth pointing out that all the main characters in the film use Tibetan actors. They are not only lifelike, but also have a profound experience of the life of serfs, so they are very real and make the film have a shocking artistic appeal. Of course, the most commendable thing is the character modeling of the film and the sense of sculpture in its picture. It is no exaggeration to say that the director and photographer of the film are "carving serfs": the portraits of the two main characters in the film, Jamba and Ge Sang, are sparkling, with rough lines and strong highlights, just like bronze statues. In short, the film is an excellent example of "photography participating in drama" with its rough and powerful light and shadow treatment of prints. Serfs are agricultural laborers belonging to serf owners or feudal owners in feudal society. He is economically exploited, has no personal freedom and no political rights!
