During the process of contemporary Chinese film creation and production, the number of films with themes of significant revolutions and historical events is considerable and their influence is enormous. As a paradigm of reconstructing history, creations of films featuring significant revolutions and historical events emerge and boom in response to the new period, which have been closely related to and of great importance in China’s realistic politics, historical memories and national recognition over the past 30 years. Those films, through excavation and presentation of an important page in Chinese national history, at times appear as the carrier of shared imagination of Chinese nation, and at other times enhance the mainstream ideology. However，in the current audiencedominated era featuring media integration and rising marketization, it is far from enough to take account of such factors as correct political stand, mainstream ideology and commercial value to prevent revolutionary language from elapsing or vanishing from the public view. To tackle the transitional problem confronted by significant historical themes and their revolutionary language, we must add modernity construction and introspection while absorbing confidence and belief conducive to historical rationality and universal applicability.
