There are four films, The Last Night of Madame Chin, Madam Yu-Ching, Love's Lone Flower, and The Crystal boys adapted from the novels of Pai Hsien-yung in 1980s. Owing to the high reputations of the novels as well as of film directors, prestigious for its social concern of the minority groups, the four films, including its production and casting, and the representation of homosexuality have gained intense attention. The numerous lectures and newspaper reports and interviews all become part of the “Literature and Film” phenomena in 1980s. By comparing and contrasting the four films and Pai Hsien-yung's novels, this thesis explores how the concept of gender and homosexuality are reconfigured and represented in the mass media. |
