- Title
"Family" in Li Yang's Blind Shaft and Blind Mountain.
- Authors
Weiss, Amanda
- Abstract
The article criticizes the 2003 film "Blind Shaft" and the 2007 film "Blind Mountain," both directed by Li Yang. Topics discussed include migrant narratives' depiction of the human cost of China's globalization process, family's relation to globalization's uprooting process, and metaphors for failures of Chinese modernization in the perversion of the migrant, worker or peasant family. Also mentioned are warm sentimentalism in family narratives and the victimization of women in the films.
