　　《霸王别姬》讲述的是20世纪中国政治动荡时期发生在京剧圈中的一个史诗性爱情故事。该片在1993年的戛纳电影节上摘得金棕榈奖，是获得这一奖项的首部中国影片。

　　Mr. Chen, who began his feature-film career with &aposYellow Earth&apos in 1984, has sat on the juries of some of the world&aposs biggest film festivals, including Berlin in 1989 and Cannes in 1998. In 2007, he served as jury president of the Shanghai festival.

　　陈凯歌周三在一份声明中谈到了电影制作中的哲学。

　　&aposThroughout the history of cinema, truly excellent films are rare,&apos Mr. Chen said. &aposWhen we think of film as an industry, movies that can make money are valued more highly than truly excellent films,&apos he said. &aposNevertheless, we can still find films with strong characteristics which inspire us, because life itself is an inspiration.&apos

　　陈凯歌说，整个电影史中，真正优秀的影片很少。当我们把电影作为一个产业时，能够赚钱的影片比真正优秀的影片更受重视。不管怎样，我们仍能找到给予我们灵感的具有强烈特点的影片，因为人生本身就是一个灵感来源。

　　陈凯歌去年接受本报采访时谈到了在一个喜欢监控的政治体系下拍电影所面临的挑战。

　　&aposWe still have the same problem we had three decades ago,&apos he said. &aposThere&aposs this awkward situation where it is difficult to express everything you want the way that you want.&apos

　　他说，我们仍有和30年前一样的问题。这是一种尴尬的状态，你无法用自已想用的方式来表达一切想表达的东西。

　　But he also welcomed recent changes in the industry, saying that &apos30 years ago, it would be impossible to create a private production company. No way. You could only work with state-run studios. Now it is natural, there are private producers and funds to help you make films.&apos

　　但他也对电影业最近出现的变化表示欢迎，说30年前，不可能创建一个私营电影公司。绝对不可能。你只能在国营电影厂工作。而如今，私营电影公司毫不出奇，有私人制片人和资金帮助你制作影片。
