The Crack
Li Wake • 2002
The content of THE CRACK is different from other Cultural Revolution films in that it not only depicts three generations of Xiangyang's family suffering from Chinese Stockholm Syndrome as a result of political suppression and reform, but also portrays the process of "sexual perversion" and "fear of sex" in the encounters of the child Xiangyang during the "shoe-breaking fight" and "catching of hooligans". As the child Xiang Yang grew into the middle-aged Xiang Yang, his condition became more and more serious, and he finally died in a long-term "sexual fantasy self-mutilation disorder".Instead of dying of "sexual perversion", Xiang Yang died on his way to escape the Stockholm phobia.
