Well-made films, with both work and entertainment, are part of a widespread cultural representation system. It creates a sense of common sense that maintains the psychological tendencies or social institutions that form a particular direction of social reality. Movies with a harmonious blend of artistic script, stable performance, and persuasive acting are stronger than any other genre. Films that combine well-structured screenplay, stable production performance, and persuasive acting are more Cultural Reproduction Ability than other genres. Nevertheless the completeness of the film itself does not lead to broad public attention. When a movie meets the world outside the film, it gains greater power. In order to provide the Movie audience with an interest, we must first meet with the times. The film must face what the audience of this age dreams about, what they miss, and what anger they get. And the movie has to put something more then on the screen. It is called the "spirit of the times" of the movie. If the film responds to the ideology or the orientation of the nation, it will fall into the nationalism and lose the value of the film. Excessive propaganda and propaganda films are likely to unilaterally instill false cultural perceptions by encouraging the collectivism of a nation or nation. So, unintentionally, it causes collective intellectual loss and paralysis.
As for the various pathological phenomena of the society which is getting worse without any improvement, the film paints the phenomenon nakedly with the cold and cynical gaze on the basis of realism. These attempts originated in the Chinese art world, and they cynically sketched a Chinese society that lost hope after 6·4. The cynicism of the art world contains meanings such as instruction, meanness, passion, indifference, and mockery. In particular, the distrust of the social system after 6·4 and the collapse of the Soviet and Eastern European socialist nations gave the Chinese people a skeptical view of socialism. This situation of the times has a cynical viewpoint to face as it is instead of prudent criticism. This cynical view was embraced by filmmakers who were not silent on The pathological phenomenon of society, and they were directed to films. Cynicism starts with simply putting the will of stronger improvement beyond the step of resignation. It tells us that we need something entirely different from the Enlightenment. Uncomfortable phenomena are not enlightened, there is no possibility of enlightenment, but there is a cynicism under a situation in which there is a willingness to improve even a little.

These films completely excluded the subjectivity of the artist, and presented uncomfortable realistic problems. The ending point of this study is to understand what is the final point of cynicism which expresses the fact exactly. Although the present continuous, Analyzing these cynical movies will be a chance to look into the solution of the current issues in China in the 21st century.
