I saw a black-and-white silent film "Pan Dong Si" filmed by 1927 on the Internet, which was 59 years earlier than the 86 version of Journey to the West. I thought all the copies of this film were lost in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. 20 12 the Norwegian national library found a damaged copy of this film, which was shot by Dan Du Yu. In order to make this film, Dan Du Yu acted as an actor with his family. It is said that this film earned 50,000 yuan that year.

Almost all the shots in the film are fixed shots and a few close-ups, giving people a sense of stage play. Because the film is silent, the actor's performance relies entirely on body language and expressions to express the plot, and subtitles are inserted in the middle to explain the plot, which gives people a strange feeling. It is estimated that the camera lens used in the film at that time was still relatively simple. It took a lot of effort to dress up the characters inside, and some special effects shots were also used. For old China, where movies were still very advanced at that time, it was still fresh, and there were some "enchanting" scenes of women wearing underwear. However, the film caused an uproar at that time. In the end, the film was banned by the national government.

? When was 1927? Many people who know historical knowledge must know the historical background at that time. At that time, Shanghai was in sync with the developed cities in the world. This film is undoubtedly a witness to the development of China's films and a living fossil of China's films.
