The Goddess - 神女

[pinnoy88]

Why do I find this much better than the films nowadays? It' really a masterpiece, given that it's a 30s film!

@pinnoy88 It's freely available on on archive dot org.

The film is public domain, the music is not.

This is one of several Chinese masterpieces of the 30's, along with films like Street Angel, Little Toys, Daybreak. Spring Silkworms is one i'd love to see too.

what a beautiful score. does anyone know who wrote it?

[p717]

That has to be a very beautiful and groundbreaking film for its time. I'd like to see if I can find the whole thing.

it's on youtube, just go to the full screen and at the end it gives you options of watching all. Well it's spilt into 3 videos.

It just got removed, it was here a few days ago, I was about to watch it. Arrgh!

[joemb1977]

I absolutely love Ruan Lingyu. She's especially beautiful in "Taohua qi xue ji"

[Rab1975bit]

How did you manage to get hold of a copy of this film? Is this available on DVD to buy?

[joemb1977]

If your ever in Shanghai you can get it at the foriegn language bookstore on Fuzhou Rd.
