Analysis:
Literary reviews include poetry reviews, novel reviews, prose reviews, drama reviews, film and television reviews, etc. "My Father and Mother" is a movie. Film is a collective creative and comprehensive art that integrates screenwriters, directors, actors, photographers, music, artists, editors, costumes, props, makeup, lighting, special effects, etc. Film and television reviews can not only make comprehensive comments on many aspects, but also Make a key comment on a certain aspect.
Literary criticism is different from general ideological criticism. The object of ideological criticism is social life and various ideological issues that people manifest in their lives and work. The purpose is to help people improve their ideological understanding and distinguish right from wrong; it can be demonstrated through various materials from all aspects, as long as it is urgent Just focus on the point you want to make.
The object of literary criticism is literary works (novel, poetry, prose, drama, painting, film and television, etc.); the purpose of criticism is to discuss and evaluate its ideological content, creative style, artistic characteristics, etc. To improve the level of reading and appreciation, you can of course quote from various sources when making comments, but the various materials cited should be related to the literary works, and the materials used in literary criticism basically come from the literary works themselves.
In addition, literary criticism is different from general work analysis. Of course, from a certain perspective, literary criticism must first be based on the analysis of the work. Without analysis, there is no way to comment; and the analysis itself naturally includes the evaluation of the work. But there is still a difference between them. Analysis of a work focuses on talking about "how it is"; while criticism focuses on talking about "why it is like this" and "whether it is good or not".
Literary criticism must have an overall evaluation of the work, and there must be a certain demonstration process for your evaluation, but work analysis does not necessarily require an overall evaluation of the work.
In addition, when writing a literary review, do not quote large paragraphs of raw materials, which will crowd out your argument with raw materials; the review points should be focused and clear. Don’t comment too broadly. For example, if you write a review of such a grand classical masterpiece as "A Dream of Red Mansions," where would you start? It is difficult to write. If you shorten it to "commenting on the dialogue of the characters in "Dream of Red Mansions"", and then narrow the angle to "commenting on the language characteristics of Feng Lazi in "Dream of Red Mansions"", it will be easier to write.
The point of view must be clear, and the analysis of solid materials must be used to support the point of view. The material cited must first come from the work itself. Of course, you can also quote from other sources. The material analysis and point of view must always be consistent. For works that readers don't know much about, some explanation of relevant aspects should be made before commenting.
