A Study On The Causal Linear Structure Of Family Dramas

Family dramas are dramas based on family stories.The causal linear structure is a kind of film and television narrative structure.This paper studies the causal linear structure in family dramas and explores the deep influence of causal linear structure in family dramas by combining with the constituent system of causal linear structure.The causal linear structure is a very attractive narrative structure.The plot contains causal design,causal contradiction,causal logic,causal correlation,and temporal causality,which reflects the characteristics of the linear narrative structure focusing on plot causality.The creation of Toward the Sun uses a causal linear narrative structure to tell a fatherly love story mixed with strong contradictions and tangled emotions.Against the backdrop of a large number of "maternal love" films at home and abroad,there are not many family films about "fatherly love".The affection between father and daughter is not as outwardly expressive as the relationship between mother and daughter,and there are many hidden undercurrents that cannot be expressed in words.Therefore,fatherly love family films can also be a research direction for family story films,to explore the deep love in them.Toward the Sun was created in this context,Tells about as the adoptive father of the item forward put up with hardships to raise a daughter,biological father but into their plain life.The daughter faces the dilemma of how to choose between two fathers,one is the grace of upbringing,and the other is blood.The repeated entanglements and troubles also triggered our deep thinking about the definition of family affection.Family affection may be a special emotion defined by blood relationship,but it can also be a kind of boundless love or a selfless dedication of some people to others.This type of emotion transcends all barriers and is unconditional.It can be family affection,but it can also go beyond that.In terms of theory,this paper systematically and specifically investigates the causality-based linear structure.By integrating the causality-based linear structure with family drama films and analyzing the film Toward the Sun,this paper investigates the expression of familial emotions within causality-based linear structures in family drama films,as well as the artistic presentation of the structure in Toward the Sun.
