What is Meant by “Community”? —Theoretical Support and Question Awareness of Chinese Film Community Aesthetics

  

  • Online:2021-03-15 Published:2021-03-31

Abstract: “Community”, a means of satisfying individual needs, aims to enhance harmony  and peace among its members and organizational stability and acquires the traits of romantic ideals. The proposal of such an inclusive concept enables people to constantly reconstruct “community” by embedding it into new contexts, which has laid basis for our attempt to build connections between “community” and film aesthetics. Meanwhile, aesthetics of traditional Chinese art, including aesthetic thoughts on Chinese film theory, has always put emphasis on the importance of image text and its relationship with art types. In addition, Chinese film aesthetics emphasizes sensual pleasure, which can hardly be detached from ethical social emotions. In fact, we have failed to apply the community nature of Chinese film aesthetics to actual film shooting. However, this is the question awareness we should hold in exploring Chinese film community aesthetics. Still more importantly, we should seek solutions to current Chinese film predicaments from Chinese film community aesthetics.
