How to evaluate director Hou Xiaoxian?

The films made by Hou Xiaoxian are very literary. It can be said that he was an early representative of literature and art in Taiwan Province Province, and his films became memories of a generation of people in Taiwan Province Province. He also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director. He immigrated to Taiwan Province Province with his family when he was four months old. I didn't expect to stay in Taiwan Province Province for the rest of my life. He was born in Taiwan Province province and grew up in Taiwan Province province. Nature has deep feelings for this land. Everything he shoots has the island style of Taiwan Province Province.

Everything he shoots has a strong tropical island flavor. Moreover, he has the literary flavor of Taiwan Province literati. Probably because he read a lot of books since he was a child, all the films he made later were very literati. Hou Xiaoxian also said that if he hadn't read so many books as a child, he wouldn't have made so many good movies.

Hou Xiaoxian is also the memory of a generation of Taiwan Province people. He has worked with many stars, such as Yi Nengjing and Doze Niu in Taiwan Province, and they have all worked with Hou Xiaoxian. In addition, Hou Xiaoxian also served as the producer of "Hanging the Red Lantern High". You may be familiar with this TV series, because it was directed by Zhang Yimou. There are many beautiful elements in this movie, and the whole picture of the movie is particularly beautiful. In the past, film shooting was more particular. They will have a lot of beauty they pursue. This is not something that commercial movies can discharge now. Although the technology and equipment will be more advanced now, many people shoot soap operas. It's not classic at all

And Hou Hsiao-hsien's generation of directors is undoubtedly very serious and very pursuing. Every scene of their film has a great companion. No matter from the beauty of the lens or the narrative sense of the story, it is unique. So they can be called a generation of great directors. And this is exactly what these directors lack now. I hope more people can learn the spirit of these former directors.
