The exploration of image body was an important aspect of western classic filmtheory, and also theoretic issues concerned by contemporary theorists like Barthes and Deleuze aswell as film phenomenon theory. However, this line of theory has been covered by Modern filmtheory. Therefore, this dissertation, based on the interpretation of film body discourse in westernclassic film theory and modern theory from the perspective of phenomenon and aesthetics, focuseson the exploration of the various body phenomena in film space, and in particular their aestheticconstruction and sense-making devices. It also points out that the construction image body is acornerstone of film creation in screen space, which is not only a base of figure creation, but also animportant factor of film story construction and narrative development. on the one hand, theconstruction of image body give expression to appeal of film creation aesthetics, film framershandle well the relations of “matching” and “alienation”; on the other hand, the construction ofimage body accord with expression of aesthetics reception, give the typicality, fashionability,immediately matching of image body, and give expression to appeal of consumption ideology. Theviewing space at cinema is a “tactile space” in a sense of body phenomenon, where image bodyowns the characteristic of “film face”, as if an “inter-face” in “inter-body”. In the system of film text,film body as a special sub-text has a feature of inter-textuality of inter-body in “inter-subjectivity”.In cinema space, it is the existence of image body that arouses a viewer's “embodied haptic”, andpromotes the sense-making of image body (film experience).
