三、阅读理解
The Chinese director Feng Xiaogang is not quite the Asian Steven Allan Spielberg but like the American director, he’s achieved blockbusting (轰动的) successes in a number of movies.
His new film Youth based on the novel by Yan Geling, is about a People’s Liberation Army dance troupe (人民解放军歌舞团) in the early 1970s. It’s a film about the youth of our parents’ generation (一代) .
Set in the 1970s, the story begins in a military arts troupe (部队文工团) , in which the soldiers’ duties are to sing, dance and promote culture. He Xiaoping is a newcomer and a talented dancer. With a painful childhood, she wants to make a fresh start in the troupe, yet her background makes her the laughing stock (笑柄) among the other girls. The only person who’s nice to her is Liu Feng, a kind and selfless man.
In most youth films, the characters’ life paths are only influenced by their personal choices. However, the young people in Youth are also part of "the whirlwind (旋风) of historical change", as film critic Justin Chang wrote in Los Angeles Times (《洛杉矶时报》) . In a time span (时段) of more than 30 years, they have to experience a lot. They all have to learn to "make peace with the past and make the most of the present", wrote reporter Giovanna Fulvi on the website .
But there’s still something that never changes about youth. No matter what time of history it is, people share the same longing for love and beauty. Sunshine, laughter and swimming pools-these special images of youth are all well kept by Feng in his new film.
According to Ifeng News (凤凰新闻) , Youth is actually a nostalgic (怀旧的) and personal work in which Feng wants to show his own experiences of working in a troupe.
"When I look back in time, everything else in my life seems to be black and white, " he said. "The days in the troupe are the only part of my memory that always remains colourful. "
