Abstract
Chapter 10 analyzes war memory, globalization, and cultural convergence. It seeks to map out the historical trajectory of film collaboration between the PRC and Japan from the 1980s to the present. It hopes to discover how the PRC-Japan film coproductions have evolved throughout the past two decades, and how the content, themes, and cultural essence of coproductions have developed and changed. She first traces the origin and path of PRC-Japan coproduction, followed by the analysis of film coproductions relating to cosmopolitan Shanghai. It also discusses the latest trend of purchasing and remaking Japanese IP and coproduction. The central argument is that the PRC-Japan collaboration is always characterized by a complicated love-hate relationship. While PRC’s official discourse and popular culture foreground the war memory and anti-Japanese nationalism, recent coproductions indicate the tendency of moving away from the haunting shadow of the war and embracing mutual-understanding and cosmopolitanism, which are welcomed by China’s younger generations.
