Study On The Thought Of Director Zhang Yimou

The special experience of growth and background of the times and the character with tenacity, sensitiveness, silence and elaborative faculty deeply root life consciousness in Zhang Yimou's mind, which undergone the process from publicity in Red Sorghum and moderation after Living to profundity in Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles during his directing; it's also a gradual process of maturity and profundity. Zhang Yimou's art thought of advocating life consciousness incorporates three aspects, i.e. displaying visual wonder, representing individual emotion, rebelling and reconstructing traditional movie, which created visual myth, emotion myth, ideology myth and therefore Zhang Yimou's myth. All of these indicate that Zhang Yimou stressed great concern on life consciousness, which also incarnate the thought of aesthetics of three-life consciousness on different aspects. He incorporated biologic life consciousness, spiritual life consciousness and social life consciousness into his movies organically, and considered the value and meaning of life according to the individual need of the most basic biologic life and spiritual living as well as the people as whole that ensured the absolute unification of admiration and commerce, ideology and art which provided sufficient important inspiration to other film producers.
