Abstract
In the twentieth century, Chinese females' social position seems to be enhanced. In fact, because of the problem of development of Chinese history, more and more potential threats for females occur. In order to revolt against the oppression from the males and society, Chinese female directors display the description of unconventional images of female roles to the public, as in the case of the movie Buddha Mountain. By analyzing the movie Buddha Mountain created by the female director Li Yu, the author finds that Li Yu used imagery, camera language, and queer theory to show the female characters unconventional images and thereby going against the patriarchal society. From the study, the author indicates that if there will be more and more female directors like Li Yu appears, the females power in Chinese society could be equal as males in one day, as the public film communication promoted by movie of feminism.
