''A Spray of Plum Blossoms'' () is a 1931 silent Chinese film directed by Bu Wancang and starring Ruan Lingyu, Wang Cilong and Jin Yan. It is a loose adaptation of William Shakespeare's ''The Two Gentlemen of Verona''. The film is one of several collaborations between Bu Wancang and two of the top Chinese movie stars of the day Ruan Lingyu and the Korean-born Jin Yan and was produced by the Lianhua Film Company. The film is noted for its attempted "Westernized stylings" including its surreal use of decor, women-soldiers with long hair, etc. The film also had English-subtitles, but as some scholars have noted, since few foreigners watched these films, the subtitles were more to give off an air of the West rather than to serve any real purpose.〔Pang, Laikwan, ''Building a New China in Cinema: The Chinese Left-Wing Cinema Movement'', (New York: Rowman & Littlefield, 2002), 26.〕〔Bi-qi Beatrice Lei, "Paradox of Chinese Nationalism: ''Two Gentlemen of Verona'' in Silent Film", in Bi-qi Beatrice Lei and Ching-Hsi Perng (eds.), ''Shakespeare in Culture'' (Taiwan: NTU Press, 2012), 251-284〕 ==Cast== *Ruan Lingyu as Hu Zhilu (Julia) *Jin Yan as Hu Luting (Valentine) *Wang Cilong as Bai Lede (Proteus) *Lin Chuchu as Shi Luohua (Silvia) *Gao Zhanfei as Liao Di'ao (Tiburio) *Chen Yanyan as A Qiao (Lucetta) *Liu Jiqun as Fatty Liu *Wang Guilin as General Shi *Shi Juefei as Li Yi, the chief bandit 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Spray of Plum Blossoms」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
