ELIZABETH JACKSON: In two weeks time China will use a massive military parade to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Communist victory which led to the founding of the People's Republic of China.

An epic movie has also been released based on the struggle between Communists and Nationalists for control of the country and it features just about every famous Chinese actor you can think of. Most of China's movie stars appeared in the movie for free.

But, as well as packing out cinema's in China, the movie called "The Founding of a Republic" has been criticized as a throw-back to the old-style propaganda.

Our China correspondent Stephen McDonell reports.

(Excerpt from movie)

STEPHEN MCDONELL: The movie entitled "The Founding of a Republic" is a beautifully shot epic about the titanic struggle for control of China which unfolded here in the 1940s and culminated in the eventual victory of the Communist Party.

The messages from this film are pretty heavy-handed. The Communists gave the Nationalists every chance for peace but the Nationalists tore up every peace deal, leaving the Communists little choice but to follow war hero Marshal Zhu De into battle.

Chairman Mao is portrayed as a caring uncle type who's constantly touched by the adoration of his people. He listens, he cries, he dances with children and takes time out to talk to even the lowliest peasant.

The once hated cold war enemies, the Guomindang, actually don't come out of it too badly. They're portrayed as sometimes ruthless, misplaced nationalists who just couldn't get their act together.

Because this is a patriotic, nationalist movie, Guomindang leader Chang Kai-shek is shown favourably for not wanting to split up the motherland. Both he and Mao would rather lose the lot than win only half and divide the nation.

The timing of this movie is crucial. China is gearing up to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Communist victory which on the 1st of October 1949 led Mao Zedong to declare the formation of the People's Republic of China.

So China's cinemas are running The Founding of a Republic on high turnaround. In the big multi-cinema complexes it starts every half an hour.

One of the reasons for the mass appeal of this film is that it has just about every famous Chinese actor in it. Jacky Chan, Jet Li, Zhang Ziyi, Ge You, Zhao Wei and on and on the list goes.

The reason the movie's directors could afford to have them all in one film is that the stars lined up to do it for free as a kind of gift to their country.

Chen Shu is one of these stars. She spoke to the ABC from her home in Beijing.

CHEN SHU (translated): This year marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of China. As an actress I can express my feelings using my acting skills in this movie. By participating I can show my love for my motherland.

STEPHEN MCDONELL: There are said to be over 170 recognised actors in this movie. For most of them it was just a cameo apperance. Chen Shu says only three words in the film.

CHEN SHU (translated): I've never played such a trivial character with so few lines. But many other actors have had the same experience in this movie; some don't have any lines at all and just appear.

STEPHEN MCDONELL: I asked her what she thought about appearing in a movie with just about every famous Chinese actor who is still alive.

CHEN SHU (translated): This is the first time this has happened in Chinese film history. I don't know if it will be the last, but the 60th anniversary of the founding of China is the main reason which has brought all these people together. This film will definitely go down in history.

STEPHEN MCDONELL: Some have criticised this movie as nothing but basic propaganda which white washes history.

And certainly when I saw it, the brief appearance of mega-famous stars playing simple roles did cause a fair bit of laughter inside the cinema.

STEPHEN MCDONELL: But people are rushing to go and see it because of these names. We spoke to the mostly-young cinema goers at Beijing's Wanda cinema about the film.

Why did you want to see this movie? I asked one woman.

(Female cinema patrons speaking)

"Why? Because there are so many movie stars in the film. Of course loving history has got nothing to do with it", she said.

"Because we care about our country. We love our motherland!" says another woman.

(Male cinema patron speaking)

"China has experienced so much," one man said. "No matter whether it's hardship or prosperity. I have great respect for those great men; Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Zhu De. They've brought pride to our nation. That's why I like it".

(Female cinema patron speaking)

"The movie describes the birth of the new China," another woman says. "So we can look back in time. The 60th anniversary is coming and this film has given us an education. Besides, there are so many stars in it. We love it!"

China is playing an ever more important role on the world stage and visitors to Beijing or Shanghai might think they're in North America or Europe if they look around quickly.

But if they've come to Beijing this weekend they can see tanks rolling past the Armani and Gucci shops in the city's central business district.

The Chinese capital is holding another practice run for the mass military parade which will be beamed around the World on the 1st of October. Time and again China reminds you that it is not like other major industrialised countries.

And this movie probably falls into the same category. Oh but hang on, I forgot, the United States can also produce gushing nationalist propaganda movies as well. Maybe China is not so unique after all.

原创版那边有FF说起这个,我就找了找,而且看了一下,我没有看见人家ABC说什么洗脑的,反而说了一些爱党爱国人士爱听的话,如 “visitors to Beijing or Shanghai might think they're in North America or Europe if they look around quickly."  “tanks rolling past the Armani and Gucci shops in the city's central business district”
但是我想请问,汤唯小姐现在会怎么想呢?她还能在中国发展吗?
说毛泽东和老蒋那块有点酸....

其他的说的挺好的呀....

可能笔调和国内的不同,让人读起来心理挺别扭的~~

这段你认为没什么?这是西方人一根弦,到时候就铮铮作响的“阶级斗争”的一根弦,月经也似,动不动要拿某张照片出来YY一番的,海外住过的中国人都知道。
那段影像是进入中小学必修课堂的,你说是洗脑也好,那是那个时代的烙印,是一个事实。已经给老外的固定印象。有些人可以当鸵鸟假装不知道,
很烦动辄 以F F之的人。
10月1日,澳洲上映"建国大业",估计是事先发表一些言论罢了.
会不会是炒作呢?
