		Also, Red Sorghum is Gong Li first film, and it is nice to see that even at such a young age, 21, that she already possessed on screen charisma that can really grip the viewer's heart.
		Red Sorghum is at times hilarious such as when The sedan carrier, Jiang Wen, sings and cries to himself when he is in a wine pot for three days, sad, and absolutely brutal.
		Blood is red, as is the nourishment of the wine, the color of the sun's rays upon the land, the sensuousness of the silk wedding gown, etc. The entire first half of the film are celebrations of life and it is filled with basic essences of the spirit and passion.

	Imagery and Sound in Red Sorghum
		Parting the red curtain before her ever so slightly, she seems to be mesmerised by the sight of the bare, muscular back belonging to one of the sedan carriers whom we later know as Yu, the narrator's grandfather (played with finesse by Jiang Wen).
		The close-up of Nine's embroidered red shoe stepping on the pair of fl scissors and her trembling hand reaching down for it is an eloquent image of her character which is capable of intense passion and hatred.
		The red colour of the landscape, introduced through the unforgettable image of a solar eclipse, is a searing reflection of the violence and bloodshed in the struggle against the Japanese.

	Zhang Yimou
		Red sorghum was an immediate success both in China and overseas, but the latter two had been out of bounds for the Chinese for a number of years in spite of the attention and awards accorded them in the international arena.
		On the contrary, the red blood that gushes out, the red dye that splashes all over, and the red lanterns that are cruelly put out and taken down as neglect or punishment signify a life that is barbaric, menacing and savage in nature, a life that is also characteristic of primitivism.
		Red Sorghum is a product of such a roaring, optimistic time characterised by hope and national revitalisation and, in turn, promotes the prevailing spirit of the period.

	The Tech - Red Sorghum flawed despite striking imagery and cinematography
		Abruptly, a masked bandit drags Nine out of the sedan chair and is about to rape her when one of her bald-headed porters (Jiang Wen) attacks and kills the bandit.
		When Nine returns to her parents' home after being married, she passes the same sorghum fields, and this time it is the bald-headed man who masks his head and abducts her.
		Blood flows as freely as the red wine once did as the film winds to its violent conclusion, which does little to raise the film out of the hole it has dug for itself.

		In Red Sorghum, Mo Yan portrays the “brutal realities of war, which had not be portrayed before”; he “spare[s] us none of the brutalities of war, which the other writers have sanitized from their works in order to show the revolutionary ideals of a just war” (Li).
		The key characters of Red Sorghum “do not consider themselves to be part of any organized fighting force, nor do they consider themselves to be fighting on the side of righteousness.
		The “hit and miss” of guerrilla warfare fought on Gaomi sorghum fields is “quite different from the battle founds by the PLA” in earlier Communist socialist realist novels; we no longer find a “totally devoted, selfless soldier lead[ing] a heroic attackwithout suffering a wound.” Instead, Red Sorghum presents “a lot of blood and gore.

		Red Sorghum's return to grass roots seems to also be a celebration of the carnal.
		The raw masculinity portrayed in Red Sorghum is a sharp contrast to the traditional (even effeminate) Chinese image of the refined, cultivated and intellectual man that is very much associated with the Imperial Examinations of the feudal system of China.
		Red Sorghum, however, defies this tradition and is set in the rough northeast Gaomi Township, where Mo Yan, the author of the novel Red Sorghum, comes from.

		On the way home she is kidnapped by the carrier who saved her a few days before, and in a tense, sensual scene he makes a bed for them in the sorghum fields as the hot wind blows the huge grassy stems around them.
		As the story progresses Nine is kidnapped by a bandit, inherits the wine business and makes a go of it, is insulted by and eventually marries the carrier and then, nine years later, the sorghum fields are flattened by the brutal Japanese as they build a highway.
		Once the Japanese enter the picture, "Red Sorghum" switches from its lighter tone to harshly realistic, a rather jarring element, with scenes of violence that are rough, but mostly off-camera.

		Set in a region where the sorghum is grown, the tale's as much a family history as the story of a particular time and place--a place where the red sorghum, which ``forms a glittering sea of blood and is the traditional spirit of the region,'' is also a metaphor for change and loss.
