The event opened with clips from the films Schindler's List, Nanking, and Life is Beautiful. In the first two movies,Scenes of fascists massacring and persecuting civiliansIt looks even heavier under the rendering of black and white film effects; while "Life is Beautiful"The cruelty of war is contrasted through the innocent behavior of the protagonist trying to protect his son. And these three films all contain the brilliance of humanitarianism, showing warmth amidst cruelty, bringing the audience into the theme of this event.

Song Xiaoping then discussed the performance techniques of these films with the studentsShe pointed out that although these films are all heavy, there are differences. In "Schindler's List", when the Jews who were rescued by Schindler went to place stones on Schindler's grave one by one as a memorial, the audience's accumulated emotions were finally released, as if the sun was shining through the dark clouds. "Life is Beautiful" uses a half-joyful, half-sad approach to recreate history. Tears and laughter are entangled with each other, making the smile no longer as frivolous as in a simple comedy movie.She focused on the interpretation of the film "Nanjing Nanjing",I affirm its efforts in expression techniques, but its shortcoming is the lack of rhythm in the narrative perspective and the overall lack of emotional flexibility. Internationally, the film "Nanjing Nanjing" is titled "City of Life And Death", which did not mention Nanjing. This is an attempt for Chinese films to go global and a leap forward for Chinese anti-war films. Sharing the same heart as the people of the world is exactly what China strives to do in its anti-war films.

Song Xiaoping is explaining the movie

“In terms of historical emphasis, the emphasis and expression of each period are different.”When talking about the development of anti-war films in China, Song Xiaoping took the 1950s, 1960s and 1980s as examples: the former was rareDescribes the suffering that war brings to people, but emphasizes resistance,Emphasis on the strength and bravery of the Chinese peopleIt has a strong color of heroism; the latter's handling of the Anti-Japanese War has changed compared with before, and the portrayal of characters has returned from symbolization to reality. "Blood Evidence of Massacre" is one of the classic works.

During the period, she also talked about the need for restraint in film processing and emotional expression, leaving room for emotional sublimation. Once a relationship starts from its peak, it can only go downhill. In addition, she also left questions for the students on detailed issues such as the role of black-and-white movies in performance and the role of children's images in movies, extending her thinking beyond the activity.

This event is hosted by the College Student Theoretical Academic Center.
