made breakthroughs in the development process.At the same time,the crime movies in the Chinese mainland learned and borrowed from the experience of American Hollywood crime movies and Korean crime movies,and gradually showed characteristics in criminal psychology types,character psychological representations,and audiovisual language expressions.Christian Metz,the founder of film semiotics,inherited and carried forward Sigmund Freud's views.He believed that film is a reflection of dreams,and the pressure in real life can be released by watching movies.In the crime movies in

things.Abraham H.Maslow believes that when the minimum needs of human beings are not met,the brain will generate driving force that drives people to meet their own needs at all costs.The exogenous criminal incentives is reflected in the psychological impact of the environment.For example,a long-term depressive work environment,a violent family environment,a campus environment that condones bullying,and certain special environments that incite crime.Such an environment will arouse and awaken people's criminal psychology and encourage them to commit crimes.In general,the criminal's
