Raise the Red Lantern was a unique movie. I had never seen a Chinese
film—the movie making was exciting to look at. It is a great looking movie,
which helps to enhance the story. It appealed to my eye initially because of
the many colors employed by the director. Reds, oranges, and yellows are
vividly and stunningly captured.
I was very interested when I
learned that the Chinese government didn’t approve of Raise the Red Lantern. The depiction of the role of women in China
heightened the emotional power of the movie. People have compared the
characters and their rules to the government and the law. We can see the closed
life of a Chinese woman in a way that illuminates a larger story.
