As a leading figure in contemporary Chinese film criticism,Dai Jinhua’s film criticism is solidly theoretical,informative,and full of content,and she has made great achievements in film criticism.Her ideas reflect the elite consciousness of traditional academic intellectuals and the spirit of innovation in an era of great change.Her texts of film criticism are personalized and poetic in character,and are worthy of deeper exploration.Through the collection and arrangement of documents,this paper attempts to restore the whole picture of Dai Jinhua’s film criticism from multiple perspectives,and to distill and grasp Dai’s film critical thought as a whole.At the same time,the formation process of Dai Jinhua’s film criticism is considered in the context of the development of Chinese film criticism,in an attempt to perceive the experience and methods,persistence and reference,significance and limitations of the development of Chinese film criticism,and to reflect objectively on its shortcomings.This paper focuses on four issues: the main content of Dai Jinhua’s film criticism,the technical qualities of Dai Jinhua’s film criticism,the critical path of Dai Jinhua’s film criticism,and the achievements and limitations of Dai Jinhua’s film criticism.Dai Jinhua’s film criticism,in general,is mixed.It mainly includes the interpretation of writers’ films,the delineation of female images,the interpretation of psychoanalytic perspectives,and the exploration of films and film culture.Moreover,among Dai Jinhua’s nearly 100 film reviews,these several critical methods occupy a great proportion,which shows the favor and reliance of the critics.By grasping the above critical contents in general,it is possible to sort out the writing lineage and development history of Dai Jinhua’s film criticism.Film criticism is different from literary criticism and art criticism in that film criticism is a commentary on a moving picture rather than a static text or picture scroll.Therefore,film criticism requires a high level of professionalism,which enables critics to perceive the inner meaning of a film from the panning of the camera,the changing of images,the shades of colors,and the light and darkness of light.Dai Jinhua’s film criticism texts provide an exemplary answer to the question of how to combine professional film language with the language of commentary.Dai Jinhua’s film criticism texts include a highly professional commentary on the film text,but also a moderate mix of the critic’s own opinion;her can interpret the potential language of the film in detail,but also express her own unique viewpoint appropriately.In the process of writing film criticism,she deeply integrates film criticism theory with film text,making the text appear highly professional without feeling difficult and stagnant,showing the critic’s theoretical skills and writing level,which is a model of criticism and technologyDai Jinhua’s film criticism has a strong personal style.First,is the unique naming of the objects of criticism,such as the naming of Chinese directors between generations and the naming of the development of Chinese cinema,which is common in Dai Jinhua’s film criticism.Second,it is her literary style of discourse.Her film criticism texts are unique among other film criticism texts because of their gorgeous language,complex imagery,and sophisticated rhetoric.Third,it is her paradoxical expressions full of contradictions,doubts and hesitations.The uncertain expression brings about the blurring of the expositor’s position.Through an in-depth study of Dai Jinhua’s film criticism style,the charm and depth of her critical texts are further perceived.As a highly acclaimed critic,Dai Jinhua’s achievements in film criticism are certainly glorious,gratifying,and thought-provoking.However,we should be sensible enough to see that there are also many flaws in her film criticism texts,and these imperfections precisely reflect the shortcomings and shortcomings of the academic intellectual film criticism represented by Dai Jinhua,which are worthy of researchers’ attention and reflection.Only through continuous reflection can Chinese film criticism find inspiration,get inspired,get out of the dilemma and move towards the future.
