| Puzzle films create a narrative maze full of misleading and cracks by "playing with time",unreliable narration and nonlinear structure,and increase the interest and appreciation of film narration on the basis of combining the unique narrative mode of video games,so as to attract viewers to continuously participate in puzzle solving games,it conveys the writer’s anxiety about the plight of the marginalized groups in modern society and philosophical thinking about the authenticity and polysemy of cognition.This paper is divided into four parts.The first chapter,based on the new vision of reflexivity theory,redefines the connotation and denotation,and concludes that the core feature of puzzle film is to convey diverse expressive effects and narrative tension by grasping the inherent incompleteness and fallibility of audience’s cognition.The second chapter discusses the cultural context in which puzzle films are produced,and holds that their generation and development are influenced by postmodernism,video games and psychoanalysis,catering to the aesthetic orientation of the new era.The third chapter,based on the theory of reflexivity,demonstrates that puzzle films are different from classic Hollywood films in narrative mode from the aspects of theme expression,narrative perspective and time frame,and express individual spiritual crisis and thinking about social reality in the vague and uncertain boundary of reality and illusion.Chapter 4 Puzzle film absorbs the new media discourse of video games and highlights the tendency of film and game integration in terms of time and space setting,plot structure and visual presentation.The "level-based" plot setting gives viewers the experience of changing roles from "audience" to "player".Based on the two dimensions of seeking change inwards and seeking innovation outwards,puzzle movies have formed a more open narrative meaning,changed the viewers’ long-formed watching behavior and cognitive psychology,and formed a more diversified and complex aesthetic experience with the help of reflexive cognitive logic. |
