This paper studies three Taiwan Mandarin films to highlight three faces and approachesto Chinese wenyi pian. The Winter (1967), Goodbye Darling (1970), and Outsidethe Window (1973) are, respectively, works of Li Han-xiang, Bai Jing-rui, and SongCun-shou. Each film at its time of release was met with lukewarm, if not “absent,” response;but today these films are considered to be classics in Taiwan cinema. This studylooks into The Winter as a wenyi melodrama to bring out its diasporic sentiments, thenplaces Goodbye Darling in the context of cinematic realism to showcase Bai Jing-rui’saesthetic efforts, and finally examines the reserved style in Outside the Window to reevaluateSong Cun-shou’s contribution to the 1970s’ Qiong Yao film genre. These films, alladapted from literary works, demonstrate the diverse styles of wenyi pian in an era whenHealthy Realism (wholesome realism) ruled supreme. |
