A Study On Body Narration Of Domestic Realistic Teenage Films In Recent Five Years

In 2017,with the film Angels Wear White a turning point,domestic teenage films began to have a clear tendency toward realism.Previously the body narration of films always focused on eroticism,but then the focus has shifted to realistic dilemmas,such as Angels Wear White,Einstein and Einstein,Cry Me a Sad River,The Crossing,Better Days,A Little Red Flower,and My Sister.These films either performed well in the market or gained good reputation.The nomination of Better Days for “Best International Film” at the 93 rd Academy Awards also pushed this type of film to the peak.In these teen movies which embraced the turning of realism,the bodies of teenager protagonists become an important tool to reflect the reality of teenage dilemmas.In the first chapter of this paper uses sociological theories to study the three ways of presenting the body,as the body for capital replacement,the body being bullied,and the body being disciplined,and holds the view that these three bodies are in correspondence to the economic,social,and power dilemmas of adolescents,which become the tools for us to reflect on our society of consumerism,"social misconduct",and patriarchy.The second chapter focuses on the use of Gaze Theory and the Foucault’s theory of Power to argue that the body-related "seeing and being seen" in teenage films has constituted an important factor in the analysis of narrative texts,and the three related ways of watching-gazing,ignorance,and spying-all deconstruct adult power and become important ways to analyze power differences,which can be used to reflect on the power oppression of men over women and adults over adolescents,to study the indifference of adult society in adolescents,and to compensate for the inequality of information between adolescents and adults,respectively.Chapter 3 uses social interaction theory knots to analyze that in the three groups of family,social,and gender interactions,the first two interaction deprive the selfhood in the construction of identity and form a false selfhood,and only in the gender interaction is the selfhood established.In the adolescent-guardian interaction shows an anxious adolescent identity,in the student-peer and teacher interaction,the adolescent student presents a marginal social identity,instead,in the female-male interaction,the interaction between adolescent female and the male has established a progressive female identity.
