【新唐人2011年7月2日讯】《建党伟业》6月24号在北美公映。有留学生透露，由中领馆资助的“中国学生学者联谊会”发出通知，为学生提供影片优惠券，但是观者寥寥。留学生表示，新一代青年人已经逐渐从十几年灌输的谎言中觉醒。
《建党伟业》北美首映礼6月20号晚，在洛杉矶蒙特利公园市AMC影院举行。影片24号开始在美国洛杉矶、旧金山、纽约、华盛顿、加拿大多伦多等北美十个城市的30家影院公映。
据在美国的留学生透露，由中领馆资助的“中国学生会”发出通知，给学生提供影片优惠券。
佐治亚大学孙同学：“他们说我们这里有优惠券，七块五可以看这个电影。有愿意看的来找我们。我是没有去找他们。然后也没有听说周围的人有谁去看过。”
华盛顿DC地区王同学：“我们收到一个Email，就是每个学校都有这个‘中国学生学者联谊会’，支持大家去看。说如果学生要看的话，请联系《建党伟业》这边有个连络人，如果是中国学生要去看的话，可以优惠之类的。”
曾任《中国改革杂志社》新闻部主任以及《纽约时报》新闻助理，现居纽约的赵岩表示，这样一部共产党的献礼片在北美放映是一件滑稽的事情。如果是好电影就用不着送票。如果是政治宣传片，那就不应该收费。
赵岩：“让我们看《建党伟业》不允许我们建党，让我们‘唱红歌’又不允许革命，这就是一个荒唐的事。严格一点讲它不是一部电影，是一部宣传广告片，政治宣传广告片，那你还收什么钱呢？给优惠券就更滑稽了，本身这部电影拿到这儿来演就滑稽的事，你给大家优惠才让大家去看就更滑稽一个事儿。 ”
一名纽约的留学生施毅表示，在美国一些流行影评网站上，《建党伟业》在10分制的评分只有2-3分。他们年轻人纷纷把这部影片当成恶搞的对像。他认为，从影片收到的社会反响来说，应该是和北京当局的初衷南辕北辙。
施毅纽约留学生：“比如说有些评论出来说，这不是在手把手教我们闹革命吗？大部分的社会反映绝对是共产党不想看到的。他们又是做了一件搧自己耳光的事情。现在可见民间的怨气有多大，可见这些新一代的青年人，他们的想法慢慢会变得成熟，慢慢变得更加客观，也慢慢从他们十几年灌输的谎言中觉醒过来。可以说星星之火已经燎原了。”
赵岩还表示，就如同八九年拍摄的“开国大典”一样，这是一部政治广告宣传片，在电影史上不会有地位。当时他面对全国13家电影厂的厂长，炮轰中共的献礼片“开国大典”。
赵岩：“就拍了一个1949年这么一段开国大典，你1949年到1978年这一段历史定位怎么定还没有搞清楚呢。你总要由后人来说前人的历史到底是怎么样。你不能由当代人来说我们自己是怎么样。”
而《美国之音》的报导说，1949年之前，中共所宣传的：中共将给人民带来民主、自由和政府廉洁的口号，打动了许多中国人，促成了国民党在大陆的政权倒台。如今很多中国人却抱怨：当今中国比国民党时代还缺乏自由民主，中共政权比国民党政权还腐败。
报导还说，成立中国共产党到底是“伟业”还是“罪孽”？成为重大的哲学、历史和现实问题。

Few Students Watched It
The Chinese film ‘Beginning of the Great Revival’
opened for public viewing in N. America on June 24.
Chinese embassies supported student associations
to notify students of discounts to watch the film,
but few students actually went to see it,
signifying the new generation’ awakening
from the CCP’s (Chinese Communist Party) lies.
The North America premiere of the film was held
in the AMC Cinema in Los Angeles on June 20.
The film went public on June 24 in 10+ cinemas
in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York,
Washington DC and Toronto.
According to some Chinese students in the U.S.,
the Chinese Students and Scholars Association
(CSSA) offered them discounts to watch the film.
Student Sun at UGA: “They told us we could watch
the film for a discounted price of $7.5.
We did not reply to them.
Nobody around us seems to watch the film either.”
Student Wang from DC: “We received an email
from the CSSA motivating us to watch the film.
It said we could contact them to receive discounts
if Chinese students would like to watch the film.”
Zhao Yan, former news director of ‘China Reform’
magazine and news assistant to New York Times,
now living in New York, said that it is ridiculous
to show such a communist film in North America.
It is only propaganda and shouldn’t charge a dim.
Zhao Yan: “You ask us to watch party-founding film,
but prohibit us from founding a party;
you want us to sing revolutionary songs,
but disallow us to engage in revolution.
How absurd this is! Strictly speaking it is not a film
but propaganda, or is it a political advertisement?
It is ridiculous to bring this film to the U.S.
and allure people to watch it by discounts.”
Shi Yi, Chinese student in NY said, this film gets
only 2-3/10 on popular U.S. film rating websites.
Many youngsters tease and goof the film.
They believe Beijing did not achieve its original goal
for the film based on the negative public responses.
Shi Yi: “Some comments indicate that this film
actually is to teach people how to make revolution.
Most public responses are a surprise to the regime.
The communist regime is slapping its own face.
You can see how much grievances people have.
The new generation is getting more mature
and rational. They are awakening from the lies
imposed on them over the past decades.”
Zhao Yan said, just like the 1989 film on PRC’s
founding ceremony, this is also a film of political
propaganda which will not go down in history.
Zhao once criticized the 1989 film on PRC’s
founding ceremony before 13 Chinese film makers.
Zhao Yan: “That film was only about the 1949
founding ceremony, but from 1949 to 1978,
there is no clear appraisal of the history yet.
History can only be evaluated by new generations,
not determined by this generation.”
VOA said, before 1949 the CCP claimed
that it would bring democracy, freedom
and uncorrupt government to people,
which touched many Chinese and contributed
to the overthrow of KMT government in China.
Yet many people in China today complain,
the communist regime gave even less freedom
and democracy to people and it is actually
more corrupt than the KMT government.
VOA asks is it an accomplishment or sin
to found the Chinese Communist Party?
This is a serious question with philosophical,
historical and practical importance.
