Synopsis:


The Blue Kite is a film directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang in 1993.Though banned by the Chinese government upon its completion (along with a ten year ban on filmmaking imposed on Tian)[1], the film soon found a receptive international audience. Along with Zhang Yimou's To Live and Chen Kaige's Farewell My Concubine, The Blue Kite serves as one of the quintessential examples of China's Fifth Generation filmmaking, and in particular reveals the impact the various political movements, including Anti-Rightist Movement and Cultural Revolution, had upon directors who grew up in the 1950s and 1960s.
The film won the Grand Prix at the Tokyo International Film Festival, and Best Film at the Hawaii International Film Festival, both in 1993.
The story is told from the perspective of a young boy (Tietou) growing up in the 1950s and 1960s in Beijing. Three episodes - Hundred Flowers Campaign, the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution - show the family members evolving, e.g. from the real father, the "loving patriarch," to the protective but unemotional stepfather.
On Dry Well Lane in Beijing in 1953, Chen Shujuan and Lin Shaolong marry. A year later their son, nicknamed Tietou (Iron Head), is born. The Party is everywhere: Mao's photograph, loud-speaker announcements, visits from the neighborhood committee. Shaolong dies in a reform camp; a close family friend, who protects Shujuan and her son partly out of guilt for lying to authorities about Shaolong, succumbs to malnutrition; a confrontation with the Red Guard leads to injury, imprisonment and death. Shujuan's love for Tietou sustains her, and the child's blue kite embodies hope: "I can make another for you," says Tietou's dad; by the end, Tietou promises this to a small child.

Inhoud:

De vader van Tietou komt om in een heropvoedingskamp en zijn moeder belandt, na in aanraking te zijn gekomen met het rode leger, in de gevangenis. De blauwe vlieger van Tietou is een symbool van hoop voor het jonge gezin.
