This paper is a cultural expatiation on the film texts of the 90's. By the way of carding the films of this decade, which was at the age of social transform, and analyzing the complexity of the ideological coincidence and conflict embodied in film narratives, I try to make comments on the significance for the people's thoughts and real life, and get a general conclusion on the film culture of 90's. As a aim of the paper, I intend to further explore the possibility of the development of national movie.Ideology is indeed a practical and sensitive issue, as well as an important concept of cultural study. It is possible and necessary to break through the restricted context and carry on the research at a rational aspect. Almost any deep discussion on films will focuses on the ideology, which has variable cause. On the one hand, studied from the angle of philosophy, ideology is one of essential attribute, on the other hand, studied from the angle of practice, both the Hollywood films, known for their recreation and commerce, and European films, acknowledged to be full of humanities and reason, embody composers' values and intention to construct cultural sequence, while it has been a long tradition to treat films as a tool for ideological struggle. The realization of ideology was restricted with the continuable development, which accord to the demand of audience. As the actual editor of the discourse, both the political ideology and intellectual ideology adopt the strategy of complicity ,which result in penetration of the three type of ideology. At the same time, the conflict was inevitable because of the difference between the ideolgys. In the film text of the 90's, it took on a complexity of complicity and conflict in the ideology field.Part one: transformation of the ideology. Changing with social context, it took on an appearance of triumvirate in the ideology field. As the dominant ideology, government and political ideology adopt the way of coincidence to make be official saying be the dominant saying.

As a result, it put up the conservatism on the standpoint.Part two: historical narrative and concepts in the films of 90's. As composingmaterials history has huge space, which has three patterns, bearing different objectives in ideology. There are complicity and conflict between the text and history.l)narratives about the history of nation. The government and political ideology try to argue their validity by writing the memory of people. Complicity with folk ideology is an effective strategy to resolve the conflict between the dominating discourse and commercial. The absence of intellectual ideology in this type of film make it short of humanitarianism and leave the history in the film to the artistic degree. To make the three ideology cooperating and communicating well, we should imitate the good experience of Hollywood film.In the narrative of intellectual about the national history, the director replaces the collective memory with individual memory. In To Be Alive, the director pays more attention to the state of ordinary individuals, which show the sufferings caused by historic logos hidden in grand narratives. Jingke Assassinate the King of Qin focused on the great effect of violence promoting historical development, on adapting classical stories and on dissociation from the traditional spirit.2)writing on wound memory. Writing on wound memory caters to the nationalism in mass, while catharsis the audience's strain and anxiety. When the wound had been cured, the validity of the government and political ideology was proved. It was a good way to fulfill the dream of going center for intellectual ideology.3)narratives about the war anti-Japanese. History of war anti-Japanese has its peculiarity with two traditional trends, which tend to a property of game and amusement. The Devils Come was a new narrative with reconstructive significance, offe...
