The summer palace group presented twice. First, we decided to run over some clips of the movie to provide a better discussion in class. A lot of people in class has never seen Summer Palace, that was one of the issue we had a problem with.
The second presentation was mainly a discussion including a powerpoint presentation, a historical background and youth rebellion.
My contribution for the project was in the historical background. Summer Palace features youth rebellion including the Tiananmen Square Protest in Beijing and the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Tiananmen Square Protest in Beijing followed the fall of Mao. While the fall of the Berlin Wall, in relation to the movie, is a similar type of youth rebellion.
Summer Palace emphasizes on romance, sexuality, and youth. The movie expresses how one matures when placed between hardships of life. It also portrays how love is understood by individuals and how the youth always has a voice.
