Taiyu Pian (Taiwanese-language film, Taiwanese-dialect film) is a vibrant part of Taiwan's cinema. This paper examines three taiyu pian of the 1960s to trace how their suffering male and female protagonists evolve over a decade of Taiwanese melodrama. The article focuses especially on the weak men in the three films to bring out the distinctive qualities of taiyu pian. The essay studies Lin Tuan-qiu's Misplaced Love (a.k.a. The Husband's Secret, 1960), Liang Zhe-fu's The Early Train from Taipei (1964), and Xin Qi's Dangerous Youth (1969). Through this study, features of female friendship, urban-country dynamics, and filmic narrative style emerge as vital elements in the high-energy taiyu pian of the 1960s. |
