【禁聞】北美映《建党伟业》降价优惠难揽客

【新唐人2011年7月2日訊】《建黨偉業》6月24號在北美公映。有留學生透露,由中領館資助的「中國學生學者聯誼會」發出通知,為學生提供影片優惠券,但是觀者寥寥。留學生表示,新一代青年人已經逐漸從十幾年灌輸的謊言中覺醒。

《建黨偉業》北美首映禮6月20號晚,在洛杉磯蒙特利公園市AMC影院舉行。影片24號開始在美國洛杉磯、舊金山、紐約、華盛頓、加拿大多倫多等北美十個城市的30家影院公映。

據在美國的留學生透露,由中領館資助的「中國學生會」發出通知,給學生提供影片優惠券。

佐治亞大學孫同學:「他們說我們這裡有優惠券,七塊五可以看這個電影。有願意看的來找我們。我是沒有去找他們。然後也沒有聽說周圍的人有誰去看過。」

華盛頓DC地區王同學:「我們收到一個Email,就是每個學校都有這個『中國學生學者聯誼會』,支持大家去看。說如果學生要看的話,請聯繫《建黨偉業》這邊有個連絡人,如果是中國學生要去看的話,可以優惠之類的。」

曾任《中國改革雜誌社》新聞部主任以及《紐約時報》新聞助理,現居紐約的趙岩表示,這樣一部共產黨的獻禮片在北美放映是一件滑稽的事情。如果是好電影就用不著送票。如果是政治宣傳片,那就不應該收費。

趙岩:「讓我們看《建黨偉業》不允許我們建黨,讓我們『唱紅歌』又不允許革命,這就是一個荒唐的事。嚴格一點講它不是一部電影,是一部宣傳廣告片,政治宣傳廣告片,那你還收甚麼錢呢?給優惠券就更滑稽了,本身這部電影拿到這兒來演就滑稽的事,你給大家優惠才讓大家去看就更滑稽一個事兒。 」

一名紐約的留學生施毅表示,在美國一些流行影評網站上,《建黨偉業》在10分制的評分只有2-3分。他們年輕人紛紛把這部影片當成惡搞的對像。他認為,從影片收到的社會反響來說,應該是和北京當局的初衷南轅北轍。

施毅紐約留學生:「比如說有些評論出來說,這不是在手把手教我們鬧革命嗎?大部分的社會反映絕對是共產黨不想看到的。他們又是做了一件搧自己耳光的事情。現在可見民間的怨氣有多大,可見這些新一代的青年人,他們的想法慢慢會變得成熟,慢慢變得更加客觀,也慢慢從他們十幾年灌輸的謊言中覺醒過來。可以說星星之火已經燎原了。」

趙岩還表示,就如同八九年拍攝的“開國大典”一樣,這是一部政治廣告宣傳片,在電影史上不會有地位。當時他面對全國13家電影廠的廠長,炮轟中共的獻禮片“開國大典”。

趙岩:「就拍了一個1949年這麼一段開國大典,你1949年到1978年這一段歷史定位怎麼定還沒有搞清楚呢。你總要由後人來說前人的歷史到底是怎麼樣。你不能由當代人來說我們自己是怎麼樣。」

而《美國之音》的報導說,1949年之前,中共所宣傳的:中共將給人民帶來民主、自由和政府廉潔的口號,打動了許多中國人,促成了國民黨在大陸的政權倒臺。如今很多中國人卻抱怨:當今中國比國民黨時代還缺乏自由民主,中共政權比國民黨政權還腐敗。

報導還說,成立中國共產黨到底是「偉業」還是「罪孽」?成為重大的哲學、歷史和現實問題。

Few Students Watched It

The Chinese film 『Beginning of the Great Revival』

opened for public viewing in N. America on June 24.

Chinese embassies supported student associations

to notify students of discounts to watch the film,

but few students actually went to see it,

signifying the new generation』 awakening

from the CCP』s (Chinese Communist Party) lies.

The North America premiere of the film was held

in the AMC Cinema in Los Angeles on June 20.

The film went public on June 24 in 10+ cinemas

in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York,

Washington DC and Toronto.

According to some Chinese students in the U.S.,

the Chinese Students and Scholars Association

(CSSA) offered them discounts to watch the film.

Student Sun at UGA: “They told us we could watch

the film for a discounted price of $7.5.

We did not reply to them.

Nobody around us seems to watch the film either.”

Student Wang from DC: “We received an email

from the CSSA motivating us to watch the film.

It said we could contact them to receive discounts

if Chinese students would like to watch the film.”

Zhao Yan, former news director of 『China Reform』

magazine and news assistant to New York Times,

now living in New York, said that it is ridiculous

to show such a communist film in North America.

It is only propaganda and shouldn』t charge a dim.

Zhao Yan: “You ask us to watch party-founding film,

but prohibit us from founding a party;

you want us to sing revolutionary songs,

but disallow us to engage in revolution.

How absurd this is! Strictly speaking it is not a film

but propaganda, or is it a political advertisement?

It is ridiculous to bring this film to the U.S.

and allure people to watch it by discounts.”

Shi Yi, Chinese student in NY said, this film gets

only 2-3/10 on popular U.S. film rating websites.

Many youngsters tease and goof the film.

They believe Beijing did not achieve its original goal

for the film based on the negative public responses.

Shi Yi: “Some comments indicate that this film

actually is to teach people how to make revolution.

Most public responses are a surprise to the regime.

The communist regime is slapping its own face.

You can see how much grievances people have.

The new generation is getting more mature

and rational. They are awakening from the lies

imposed on them over the past decades.”

Zhao Yan said, just like the 1989 film on PRC』s

founding ceremony, this is also a film of political

propaganda which will not go down in history.

Zhao once criticized the 1989 film on PRC』s

founding ceremony before 13 Chinese film makers.

Zhao Yan: “That film was only about the 1949

founding ceremony, but from 1949 to 1978,

there is no clear appraisal of the history yet.

History can only be evaluated by new generations,

not determined by this generation.”

VOA said, before 1949 the CCP claimed

that it would bring democracy, freedom

and uncorrupt government to people,

which touched many Chinese and contributed

to the overthrow of KMT government in China.

Yet many people in China today complain,

the communist regime gave even less freedom

and democracy to people and it is actually

more corrupt than the KMT government.

VOA asks is it an accomplishment or sin

to found the Chinese Communist Party?

This is a serious question with philosophical,

historical and practical importance.
