As an emerging art category,film is a comprehensive art combining picture and sound,time and space.In its narrative process,it not only possesses a time dimension,but also has a spatial dimension.With the rise of spatial narrative theory in the field of humanities and social sciences,researchers not only focus on the use and analyses of literary text space narrative,but also project their research into the spatial narrative problem domain of film text.Exploring the "space" of the scene as the fundamental premise is the core of spatial narrative.Furthermore,as a national film genre with world reputation,its important artistic charm lies in the director's “western narrative space”.The grasp and application of this provides a natural basis for the introduction of spatial narrative theory into the study of western Chinese film.Specifically,the spatial narrative of the western film refers to how the film artist chooses,processes and creates the narrative space in the west,and then uses the western narrative space as an important means to advance the narrative process and narrative expression,and finally constructs the method with strong spatial narrative attributes of artistic works.Of course,the content of the western film space narrative is rich and complicated.This thesis focuses on the western narrative space,which is because the narrative meaning and structure of the western space is not only an important part of the western film space narrative,but also The important value and significance of western movies.In the meantime,how does the "Western Narrative Space" change its narrative connotation in the development of western movies? How does the "Western Narrative Space" carry out its narrative and ideographic functions? What kind of narrative skills do the “Western Narrative Spaces” need to accomplish their narratives and expressions? These are all important propositions proposed and addressed in this paper.In traditional narratological research,researchers tend to pay attention to the study of time and ignore the spatial role of narrative.As a combination of time and space,film has its spatial consciousness and spatial structure innate.This thesis will first analyze the relationship between space and time,space and narrative,and then explore the relationship between spatial narrative and literature,spatial narrative and film,and its role and function in the two,to apply and implement to the western movie.Research.The cultural connotation and narrative connotation of the "Western Narrative Space" is the main aspect of the western film space narrative.This construction is closely related to the spatial narrative discourse of the western film in different development periods.In the 1980 s,the spatial narrative discourse of the "Classic Western Film" was mainly expressed as an enlightenment /root-seeking/ reflective discourse.The discourse system of this period constructed the culture and poetic imagination of the "Western Narrative Space";with the trend of the times Evolution,the early enlightenment/root-seeking discourse changed to new reflection/consumption/mainstream discourse in the 1990 s.This change made the cultural connotation of the “Western Narrative Space” constantly obscured;and after the new century,the space of western cinema narrative discourse is characterized by the coexistence of new mainstream/new consumption/ecological discourse.While continuing to disintegrate and hollow out the culture and significance of the “Western Narrative Space”,it also reconstructs the past image of the “Western Narrative Space”.Except that analyzing the cultural significance of the "Western Narrative Space" in western movies,the important aspect of the western film space narrative is also the exploration of the narrative and ideographic functions of the "Western Narrative Space".This kind of inquiry is inseparable from the strong support of spatial narrative types and spatial narrative images.Whether it is the geographical space,social space,cultural space in the spatial narrative type,or the natural scene imagery,natural animal imagery,folk ritual imagery,etc.In the spatial narrative type,they are all the specific content of the "western narrative space".The space field is nurtured and produced,and they jointly build the meaning and meaning of the narrative and ideology of the western movie "Western Narrative Space".Of course,it is necessary to resort to certain spatial narrative techniques to fully realize this meaning and fingering.The space of the film space will produce different spatial relationships through different spatial narrative techniques.The spatial narrative techniques of western movies can be roughly divided into spatial juxtaposition,spatial metaphor,and spatial intertextuality.The juxtaposition of narrative clues,the intertextuality of narrative scenes,the metaphor of narrative landscape,weaving and strengthening the narrative intrinsic content of the western movie "Western Narrative Space".The spatial narrative technique is not only reflected in the content level of the Western movie text,but also in the use of the lens on the image ontology level,the use of color,the use of music and sound.In short,the discourse rhetoric of the western film space narrative,the manifestation of the spatial narrative type,the setting of the space image,and the unique use of the spatial narrative technique make the "western narrative space" in the western film present its unique connotation and charm;It is an important factor which distinguishes western movies as a regional film genre from other film genres.The research in this thesis will further enrich and expand the field of western film narratology research and even the study of Chinese film narratology,and will also provide a better theoretical basis and realistic reference for the current western film practice creation.
