Hollywood documentary brings Diaoyu Islands truth to new audience
2014-03-12 21:44XinhuaWeb Editor: Wang Fan
Hollywood writer and director Chris D. Nebe screened a new documentary about the Diaoyu Islands at the REAL D Theater on Tuesday, saying he hopes to show Americans the truth about the territory.
"Diaoyu Islands, The Truth" is produced by Monarex Hollywood Corporation and is one of twelve documentaries in Nebe's "Mysterious China" series introducing Chinese history, culture and rapid development to the world.
The debut attracted nearly 100 viewers, who learned from the 40-minute film that the Diaoyu Islands have been Chinese territory since ancient times, and that Imperial Japan annexed the Diaoyu Islands from China in 1895 after the First Sino-Japanese War.
The short feature holds the view that "the real Diaoyu Islands conflict goes from the so-called administrative rights of the United States. After the Second World War, instead of returning the islands to China, the United States claimed 'administrative rights.' In 1971, America gave the islands back to Japan, ignoring China's long-standing claim."
In the last part of the film, Nebe asserts that "America can quell the tension by encouraging his Japanese ally to return the Diaoyu Islands to China and apologize to Chinese people for the war crimes of Imperial Japan."
"My view point is that... the truth about Diaoyu Islands issues are completely wrong told by Western media. I hope the movie will change it. We are pushing to help Americans know the truth of Diaoyu Islands," Nebe said.
Japan should do the right thing and give the islands back to China, while Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe should go to Nanjing to apologize to China for the war crimes of Imperial Japan. These islands should not be a case for disrupting peace and harmony between China and Japan, he added.
Klaus Schmitt came to see the film with his wife. "Very little of my friends know Diaoyu Islands, only if you who are politically active or interested in history, but most people don't know it," he said.
He believed that the film gave him a neutral overall view on the issue.
Audience member Lynn Crandall, who works at the University of Southern California, said the documentary encouraged peace. "The film is a strong statement for us to try to find peace, we must find a way to share the world in brotherhood. I believe we should be neutral. I think we are too much on the side of Japan, I think we should work for peace, not for divide."
Anthony D. Ross, a lawyer who said he did not previously know about the conflict between China and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands, told Xinhua, "It tells a lot that I did not know."
"Diaoyu Islands, The Truth" will be broadcast on American public television and is also available on the Internet, according to Monarex.
以下是2013年的报道:
【美国《中华商报》記者陳杰豪好萊塢報導】近年來以拍攝中國系列文化紀錄片而享譽世界的好萊塢著名導演克里斯蒂•里比（Chris D. Nebe）日前向本報記者透露，2013 年的重點拍攝計劃是高清晰度（HD）紀錄片《釣魚島- 事實真相》，片長約30 分鐘，預計總投資30 萬美元，目前正處於籌劃階段，美國中華商報將提供大力協助。
里比作為一名德裔好萊塢導演，擁有30 多年在好萊塢的工作經驗，是蒙納瑞克斯好萊塢電影公司（Monarex HollywoodCorporation）的創立者，製作發行了大量故事片和紀錄片，並多次獲得國際大獎。
他1985 年拍攝的紀錄片《繼承者》在戛納電影節獲獎。 1994 年拍攝的紀錄片《最後的商隊》獲得美國CINE 獎。
1995 年，里比首次來到中國後，就不斷用鏡頭記錄中國。 2007 年在中國拍攝的專題紀錄片《馬可波羅的香格里拉》、《馬可波羅的世界屋脊》榮獲美國第28屆電視獎銅獎。其係列紀錄片《神秘中國》以中國風光、歷史、文化為主題，之前8 部紀錄片已經被亞洲博物館收藏。《神秘中國》系列紀錄片於2011 年8月28 日在好萊塢舉行世界首映式，來自中國少數民族地區的大理白族自治州副州長蔡春生也參加了首映式。該系列包含了10 部介紹中國地方少數民族地區自然風光和風土人情紀錄片。據里比介紹說，拍攝每部紀錄片時，他需要到當地進行30 天到40 天的實地拍攝，然後回到好萊塢進行剪輯，每部片的拍攝成本約50 萬美元。這些紀錄片分別是《香格里拉》、《大理•一見鍾情》、《世界屋脊》、《功夫在中國》、《聖山》、《傳奇中國》、《西藏•真相》和《絲綢之路》，其中一些紀錄片已經在美國多個電影節上獲獎。
作為第一個拍攝中國系列文化紀錄片的外國導演，里比拍攝的帶有獨特西方視角的紀錄片在形式上和文化上更容易讓海外觀眾接受。里比的紀錄片不僅展示了中國的優美自然風光、風土人情以及文化教育，還展示了少數民族、邊遠山區人們的真實生活。
里比表示，對亞洲的興趣由來已久，幾乎走遍了這塊土地，最後才來到中國。他強調自己對整個中國都非常感興趣。里比拍攝的中國系列紀錄片是站在一個外國人的視角，他眼中看到的最美的部分是那些中國具有傳統和歷史特色的地方以及當地的中國人。
為了拍攝一些他想要的紀錄片素材，里比有時還會和一些當地協助拍攝的中國工作人員產生不同意見，他希望今後多帶一些海外的工作人員一起拍攝，這樣可加入更多的西方視角，他認為這樣拍出來的電影更好看，更能吸引海外觀眾。
由於作品風格獨特，又以積極正面的視角拍出了各地美麗的風光和風土人情，而這也讓他的作品在中國國內獲得了好評，因此他獲得了更多中國地方政府的拍片邀約。2012 年8 月，由里比執導、反映江蘇悠久歷史和現代化進程的大型紀錄片《江蘇形象》在江蘇開機拍攝。這部長達90 分鐘的紀錄片，是《神秘中國》系列紀錄片的第十部。
現年76 歲的里比， 曾於1999 年拍攝過紀錄片《南京大屠殺》，但那時他並沒有來南京，只是根據從各種渠道蒐集來的資料拍攝而成。 2011 年年底，為了商談拍攝《江蘇形象》事宜，他才首次來到南京。
里比說，為了拍攝《江蘇形象》，他做了很多的資料蒐集和研究工作。他想通過這部片子，告訴那些沒來過江蘇的外國人一個真實、美麗、現代化的江蘇，吸引他們來江蘇旅遊、投資。
