In other words, this subject is not only to comb and construct the history of Chinese western movie, but detailed explain the recent thirty years western movie texts, connect the complicated cultural appearance and all the culture phenomenon derived by the film art--such as the movie music, the theme songs, the soundtracks, the ballads, pop music, the clothing, the characters, spatial modeling and the props--will be included in the study of wide view. The study widely borrows the research techniques of cultural anthropology, cultural poetics, aesthetics, semantics, historiography and so on, shows a thirty-year transmutation track, builds the macro-theory framework according to the evolution of the Chinese western culture in the past thirty years, investigates the three phases of division basis, creation regulation, transmutation motivation and features.Phase ?:Classic period of aesthetic culture transmutation of Chinese western movie (1984--1989). During this period, after experienced the process of theoretical denomination, written practice, discovery of aesthetics ontology and typed try, the impressive art brand and aesthetics style of Chinese western movie had been achieved and founded, greatly impacted the type-construction and discourse system of the Chinese western movie ninety years late.

The western movies during the classic period is presented outstandingly as the self-awareness of the movie ontological consciousness, breed a series of movies deeply filled with artistic charm and aesthetic depth. The movie directors, photographers, artists, screenwriters and stylists of that period were in a passion and burning time, the spouting artistic talent went away along with the waves of the time and created the movies and arts that were worthy of the period, groped forward in the discovery of movie artistic noumenon, established the general pattern and situation of China film art and aesthetics.Phase ?:Transition period of aesthetic culture transmutation of Chinese western movie(1990-1999). During this period, the directors of Chinese western movie went up north to find a new way for movie reform. In 1990s, the western movies were squeezed by the market economic and political discourse. Along with the digestion of literary sensation and the collapse of enlightenment rationality, the creators began to consciously follow the steps of the time, keeping one's trap shut or spinning a cocoon around oneself, or retiring from active life, or becoming secularization. Disintegration of social culture prompted the filmmakers to rethink about their destiny and the survival way of films. The western film creation of this period turned to the development of typed direction gradually. There came various types movies of western theme, western humanity, western swordplay, western fantasy and western minority etc.. Chinese movies appeared creation style of symptomatic:the creation wave of theme movies and great history subject movies.
