Appropriations, Reflections, and Future Directions
Appropriations, Reflections, and Future Directions
The concluding chapter provides a detailed analysis of The Grandmaster, examining the film from the vantage point of the preceding chapters’ major emphases: music and visual style, story and narration, and genre. The chapter also considers the “uses” Wong’s films have engendered. It reflects upon Wong’s influence on local and “world” cinema, his aesthetic traits appropriated by directors such as Abbas Kiarostami, Sofia Coppola, Xavier Dolan, Stephen Chow, and Wong Jing. Also discussed is the appropriation by critics pursuing particular theoretical and/or social agendas. Finally, the chapter reviews Wong’s place in cinema today, as a Hong Kong director increasingly being absorbed into the Mainland Chinese industry, and yet for whom the international festival and art-cinema market remains of prime importance.
