The Image Expression Of Feminine Consciousness

This paper, with its main research object of Li Yu’s film works, has a deeper research and analysis on female films by the use of its theory, and tries to distil the values and problems that Li Yu possesses and exits in his creation on female films. Based on the limited exploration and attempt, I hope this paper could bring a benefit on Chinese female films.The development of female film adds brand new scenery in the field of Chinese film markets, also brings a stream of fresh air in film creation, whose commercial market atmosphere ever stronger. In the tide of film creation that rapids enter bravely, Li Yu, holding fast to art-driven direction, gradually craves a path of female creation coexisted by roughs and sparkles. With the female’s unique perspectives and subtle sentiments, she captures their ups and downs in their lives. As a result, the alternative concern on female’s survival present situation becomes her outstanding artistic feature in creating feature films. Those vivid female images she shapes for the masses compose a microcosm of current female’s survival present situation, and the expression of female theme spills into indictments and critiques for patriarchal culture system. The female’s soundless lamentation and scream has become a powerful sound in realistic social environment.
