Zhang Yimou (; born 14 November 1951)〔(Date of Birth at Britannica )〕 is a Chinese film director, producer, writer and actor, and former cinematographer.〔Tasker, Yvonne (2002). "Zhang Yimou" in (''Fifty Contemporary Filmmakers'' ). Routledge Publishing, p. 412. ISBN 0-415-18974-8. Google Book Search. Retrieved 2008-08-21.〕 He is counted amongst the Fifth Generation of Chinese filmmakers, having made his directorial debut in 1987 with ''Red Sorghum''. Zhang has won numerous awards and recognitions, with Best Foreign Film nominations for ''Ju Dou'' in 1990 and ''Raise the Red Lantern'' in 1991, Silver Lion and Golden Lion prizes at the Venice Film Festival, Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, and the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival. In 1993, he was a member of the jury at the 43rd Berlin International Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Berlinale: 1993 Juries )〕 Zhang directed the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games, which received considerable international acclaim. One of Zhang's recurrent themes is the resilience of Chinese people in the face of hardship and adversity, a theme which has been explored in such films as, for example, ''To Live'' (1994) and ''Not One Less'' (1999). His films are particularly noted for their rich use of colour, as can be seen in some of his early films, like ''Raise the Red Lantern'', and in his wuxia films like ''Hero'' and ''House of Flying Daggers''. His most recent film is a historical drama film called ''Coming Home''. ==Early life== Zhang was born in Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi province. Zhang's father, a dermatologist, had been an officer in the National Revolutionary Army under Chiang Kai-shek during the Chinese Civil War, an uncle, and an elder brother had followed the Nationalist forces to Taiwan after their 1949 defeat. As a result, Zhang faced difficulties in his early life.〔''Memoirs from the Beijing Film Academy: The Genesis of China's Fifth Generation.'' Ni Zhen, translated by Chris Berry.

Ni Zhen, translated by Chris Berry. Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2002, pp. 45-6.〕 During this time he took up painting and amateur still photography. In 1978, he went to Beijing Film Academy and majored in photography. He has an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Boston University and also one from Harvard University. 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「Zhang Yimou」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
