中国映画って、どうよ。　- How about the Chinese movie?

中国は、理解の彼方にある国。とはいえ我々の文化の源、批判は多かれど、一つ間違えば天に唾吐くのと同じことになりかねない。ご近所さんですから、うまく付き合っていくしかないでしょう。そんなお国、私としては映画文化には一目置きます。映画自体、どうしてもプロパガンダ利用はされがちですが、そこを差し引いても文化的に光るものがあります。Chen KaigeやZhang Yimouの北京電影学院出身第五世代。今は亡きWu Tian ming。新進気鋭のJiang WenやFeng Xiaogang。香港のAndrew LauやStephen Chow。アクションのPeter ChanやTsui Hark,。台湾のHou Hsiao HsienやJohn Woo。そしてWong Kar-wai。監督だけでも枚挙に暇がありません。ACTOR/ACTRESSにいたっては書き出したらきりがないのです。風習・文化、戦争・動乱、貧富格差や広大な自然と、中国は身近にテーマがゴロゴロしており、どの映画も夢物語とは言いがたいと思います。知り尽くせない中国を映画で覗き見るのは楽しいもので、日本とは異なる様々なものが見えてきます。

China is the country which it is hard to understand. However, it is a source of the Japanese culture. There is much criticism to China, but there may be a thing same in Japan. Because it is a country next to Japan, it is necessary to maintain future good relations. It is such a China, but I think that the Chinese movie culture is splendid. The Chinese movie has many propaganda movies, but still has unique culture generally. The fifth generation people from Beijing Film Academy which assumes “Chen Kaige” and “Zhang Yimou” a representative. “Wu Tian ming” of their senior. People who are young and spirited such as “Jiang Wen” “Feng Xiaogang.” “Andrew Lau” and “Stephen Chow” of Hong Kong. “Peter Chan” and “Tsui Hark” of the action. Taiwanese “Hou Hsiao Hsien” and “John Woo.” And the greatest director,  “Wong Kar-wai.” The famous supervisor does not have a drill if I give it. There is the world-famous actor more. In the manners and customs, the culture, the war, the disturbance, the poverty and wealth difference and very large nature and China, there are imminent place various themes. Therefore the movie is not only imagination. A movie has reality. It is pleasant to watch Chinese what’s what not to know by a movie. I am in Japan by a Chinese movie and can know various Chinese culture.そんな中国映画の中の佳作を一本紹介します。上記の監督列挙にも記したWu Tian mingの作品で「變臉」（英題：The King of Masks）。Wu Tian mingは昨年（2014年）に惜しくも亡くなってしまいましたが、北京電影学院卒で上記のChen KaigeやZhang Yimouの先輩であり指導者でもありました。手がけた作品数は少ないのですが、この作品はとてもいい作品だと思います。主演はZhu Xu、以前NHKで長編ドラマとして上川隆也が主演の「大地の子」での中国の養父役。この方、北京人民芸術劇院出身で日本に絡む映画によく出ます。ストーリーは変面役者が跡継ぎの子を人買い市場で買い求め育てていくというおはなし。場所は四川省。しきたりと人情の狭間で、最後は期待値通りには終わるんですけど、いい映画に出来てると思います。気になったら見て欲しいのですがDVDはないかもしれません。私もずいぶんと探してやっと手に入れました。何年か前にNHKでひっそりやってたのをかいま見てしまい、どうしても見たくなり探し回りました。興味ある方は探してみてください。

I introduce one my favorite Chinese movie. “It is The King of Masks” which “Wu Tian ming” made. “Wu Tian ming” died in 2014. He graduated from Beijing Film Academy. In Beijing Film Academy, he was a senior of “Chen Kaige” and “Zhang Yimou” and was a leader. There are few his movies, but I think that this movie is very good. The leading role of this movie “is Zhu Xu”. He is the person who played a Chinese step father of “Takaya Kamikawa” in NHK drama before. This person is from Beijing People’s Art Theatre and appears for a movie related to Japan well. A certain street performer looks for the child of the inheritor, and this movie is an outline bringing up. The place is Sichuan. It is a simple story, but is a good movie. I want everybody to look, but there may not be the DVD. At last I obtained it, too. I came to want DVD, and I looked for it to see what I televised in NHK several years ago by all means. The person who is interested, please look for it.
