Indigenous Connotation of the Post-New-Cinema-Movement Movies in Taiwan A Case Study on “Cape No.7”, “Din Tao: Leader of the Parade” and “Zone Pro Site” / 臺灣「後新電影」中的「本土」義蘊 — 以《海角七号》、《陣頭》、《總舖師》等三部電影為觀察對象

碩士 / 國立中正大學 / 台灣文學研究所 / 102 / The movie “Cape No.7” directed by Wei Desheng was a big hit in 2008 and won much resonance due to its theme appealing to common view and its content coinciding with local environment. Since then, its success has boosted an outstanding box-office performance for domestic movies over the past few years, with thousands of viewers speaking highly of them. Consequently, directors in Taiwan started to pay more attention to the development of local culture, trying to raise public awareness and recognition of their homeland by presenting affairs in daily life. In light of this reality, this paper focuses on domestic movies, especially on the increasingly heated rejuvenation of domestic movies since the big hit of “Cape No.7”, and further examines the so-called post-new-cinema-movement movies. This paper selects the three movies “Cape No.7”, “Din Tao: Leader of the Parade” and “Zone Pro Site” as research objects, all of which are big hits with their sales figures scoring over 100 million. Questions are discussed on how to create unique features in the post-new-cinema-movement period and how to form a new pattern for domestic movies different from traditional ones. In addition, the author attempts to draw an outline for the three movies, so as to figure out what they have in common on the indigenous basis and what elements they use as material. It also tries to explore how local culture can survive in the fast-paced, highly competitive contemporary society and regain its place in this era as well as find a common ground of coexistence through assimilation and discard despite of all the conflicts and confrontation between innovation and conservation. By analyzing these materials, the study reveals new trend in the development of domestic movies in hope of evoking the public’s concern for the land of Taiwan and their devotion to preserving precious culture.
