Watch: 站台 2000 123movies, Full Movie Online – Set in Fenyang, Shanxi Province, the film focuses on a group of amateur theatre troupe performers whose fate mirrors that of the general population in China as massive socio-economic changes sweep across the mainland. The film commences in 1979 with the troupe performing numbers idolizing Mao Zedong, ending in the ’80s when the shows reflect the strong Western influences pervading China, covering a decade in which China saw tremendous changes..
Plot: The movie is set in the remote Chinese province of Fenyang, and spans the turbulent 1980s by following four performers in the state-run Peasant Culture Group. We see the group evolve from workers that are restricted to approved revolutionary classics that praise Chairman Mao, through performance of Western classics, after China adopts an ‘open door’ policy, and the effects on their lives.

Reviews:

“We’re standing on a platform and we’re waiting.”
It’s an epical, relaxed, meandering, beautiful, rich, etc. laconic time portrayal of China’s cultural history in the 80s, based on the fate of a theatre company. The protagonists are mostly “twen slackers” who wait for the artistic breakthrough, and director Jia follows their lives in mostly aloof, breathing tableaux. What in today’s cinema Hou Hsiao-hsien achieves for space and Béla Tarr for time, is combined in here, without directly referring to both of them. Here, horrible tragedies (a divorce lacking any emotions) take place as well as not less horrible comedies (the mine workers contract: “Death and accident are acts of destiny. The firm will not take any responsibility.”), but everything seems to be straightly taken from real life. The title ‘Platform’ alone already indicates the oddly depressing tone of the film. The desperate waiting, eternally postponed by short changes of perspective as a fundamental experience of a whole era. “We’re standing on the platform and we’re still waiting, waiting.” Although, the film is set in the 80s, ‘Platform’ also brilliantly and perfectly captures the mood at the end of the 20th century: a rampant epos of never realised chances and daily travail. The film of the new millennium.

Excelent
I am from Argentina, so is difficult to me to express, but the film is a beautiful master piece about the history of China. The view of a group of a cultural actors is perfect, because they first work as actors that like Mao, but then they make breakdance…
