| Summary: | Morning Sun is not a comprehensive or chronological history of the Chinese Cultural Revolution; nor is it a study of elite politics or student factionalism. It is rather a history of experiences and emotions as reflected upon by those who were at the core of the events. The director includes footage of victims and perpetrators of the period when Communist youth, inspired and encouraged by Mao Zedong, rebelled against their parents and teachers, and workers rebelled against their bosses. It is also a film about the language and style of the period— its films and plays, music and ideas, rhetoric and ideologies, frustrations and fantasies, as well as the realities and ardor, that a new revolution entailed. |
