Talk about Douban's cult Movie Book: the "ambition" hidden behind

it was the Global screen that first began to translate the Chinese name of Cult Movie into a "cult movie", introducing this word, which was not clearly defined in the first place, to Chinese moviegoers. Later, the word spread among movie fans through different channels and media. according to the common characteristics of some films, with some guesses and their interpretations, the meaning of the Chinese "cult movie" and the original "Cult Movie" slowly became different and became a word with regional characteristics: marked by violent plasma and curiosity elements, vague and B-rated exploitative films and other concepts mixed. It is associated with names such as Chongshi Miike, Quentin Tarantino, and so on.

"vulgar novel"   "vulgar novel"   In the past, it was easy to name a few typical features and specifications of Cult films, because there were not many materials and books that I used as standards. But in the last two years, I have found that the more I know, the more difficult it seems to be to explain.

the reason is that cult movies have been defined too many times by too many people and too many groups, and not only Chinese fans have their interpretation of the word. The definition of it always changes more or less among different film experts, different media organizations, in different regions, or at different times. I can no longer find a very accurate definition to describe what a cult movie is.

No matter how the definition changes, "the Rocky Horror Show" will always be the representative of cult movies.

some people think that commercial blockbusters can only be independently produced at a small cost; some people think that only works worshipped by minority fanatic fans can be qualified; others think that the element of bloody and violent curiosity is the criterion of judgment. Some people think that as long as a film deliberately rejects and rejects the mainstream, it can be called a cult movie and so on.

but what kind of cost can be excluded? How many minorities or fanatical fans can do the job? What is the degree and standard of the novelty-seeking elements in the film? What is the difference between the mainstream and the mainstream to find another way? Not only are there a variety of standards, but all of these standards are not a clear line. These standards are so hazy that they are indescribable, but everyone seems to know them. "Evil Code" is a word to describe the temperament of a movie. Most people can probably understand what it means, but it is not clear.

Cult Films by Will Dodson opposes critics' definition of a "vulgar novel" as a cult movie. Because this film has too many audiences and too much influence on the mainstream, it can not be included in the ranks of cult films.

so when Douban first found me for the cult Movie Book, apart from being Shocked by the professional background of the author group, I was confused when showing me the film list. Because although I can find out where the cult "temperament" of the film is, I don't see a clear line that runs through it. Until the end of this article, "apart from having fun, why do we love watching cult movies?" It was only when the article was given to me that they knew the ambition of this column: they did not want to select one or more specific criteria to define cult movies but hoped to consider all the existing definitions as a whole. through the widest possible selection of examples of films, readers can understand cult movies as a whole from different angles.

what Douban must admit is that this "purpose" actually needs to be placed at the beginning of the topic, not hidden in the fourth article. I got some feedback in private, and I learned that many fans wondered, "Why are XX films selected?" It is probably the question raised by most people because many of the selected works are not quite consistent with their standards. But, after understanding the purpose of the column and the criteria for film selection, you can make clear the original intention of the creators-- "tell the history and recent situation of 'cult movies', the disenchantment of this term, and make it a kind of film common sense." to open up a new field of vision. "

therefore, I hope that this article will not only explain the "Book of cult movies" which has been misunderstood by some friends but also remind friends who like cult movies that they are not confined to their inherent way of looking at cult movies in a certain way. And the spirit of breakthrough and challenge, questioning and exploration, are the core things of cult movies.
