Abstract

This article sets out to argue about the film Green Field directed by E. G. Ulmer in the yiddish period, from a viewpoint of the dissonance between the yiddish culture and the film text. This film is not just an attempt to reinforce the cultural community of the ethnic minorities. It should be seen as a landmark film for Ulmer with a whole array of cinematic memories behind it. First we survey the yiddish film, E. G. Ulmer and his yiddish period to examine his films in the yiddish period (I).Second the making process of the film Green Field in his yiddish period is examined (II).Third we take notice of the last scene of this film (III).Finally through a close analysis of the cinematic text, we try to place Green Field in the context of Ulmer's career as well as American film history (IV).
