Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南藝術大學 === 動畫藝術與影像美學研究所 === 107 === Back in 1980s in Taiwan, it was recorded the period of “Taiwan New Cinema”. There were a lot of studies about Taiwan New Cinema. For those who were not part of them, lots of Taiwanese directors were ignored. Lin Chin-Jie, a Taiwanese director, is an example. Therefore, four of Lin Chin-Jie’s films were chosen in this paper: The Crazy Lottery City (1986), The Missing People (1987)、The Heroes and the Bear (1989) and Sons of the Sea (1987). The characters in these movies were from the lower level in society, including whores, taxi drivers, human traffickers, procuress and so on. Lin Chin-Jie has been ignored for a long time because the negative scenes in his movies, such as taking drugs, crimes and prostitions. Some scenes were seen as comsuming women when some movies talked about the lottery cult or the death penalty issues. However, these movies were based on the real events happened in Taiwan, they showed how 1980s Taiwan looked like, including human activities, buildings, vehicles and so on. These elements were connected to the place and made the place meaningful. According to these “places”, the folk elements were revealed. There are some features of the movies: 1. Literatural description 2. Rich tempos and colors. 3. The actors were talking with their real voices. These features made Lin Chin-Jie unique. When most reserches marked Taiwan New Cinema as realism, Lin Chin-Jie’s films were right the reality of 1980s Taiwan. Lin Chin-Jie cares everyhitng happened in Taiwan. Through his films, the reality in 1980s Taiwan could be seen clearly. Moreover, some opinions are suggested: 1. People should pay more attention on some Taiwanese directors and films that are not in the pop trends. 2. More references should be established. 2. Governments should put more concentrations on the art cultures.
