20世纪八十年代中期,中国文坛上兴起了一股“文化寻根”的热潮,《黄土地》就是顺历史思潮应运而生的第五代导演的奠基之作。现实主义恢宏的壮美与浪漫主义色彩的柔美相得益彰,揭示中华民族这块古老的黄土地与其古老民族民俗难舍难分的依存关系,导演以悲天悯人的视角,于天与地的张力构图,深刻再现历史的昨天。 In the mid-1980s, an upsurge of “cultural roots” emerged in the Chinese literary world. “Yellow Earth” was the founding work of the fifth generation directors which came into being in line with the historical trend of thought. The magnificence of realism and the softness of romanticism complement each other, revealing the dependence of this ancient yellow land of the Chinese nation on the part of its ancient national folk. The director reconstructs the tension between heaven and earth with a compassionate and compassionate perspective History of yesterday.
