Lacan, the most influential thinker in the contemporary era of France, has shown extraordinary talent in psychology, medicine, philosophy, aesthetics, literary theory, art and social and political thought. He is famous as those giants of thoughts as Freud, and Nietzsche. Many people even think that the interpretation to Freud, Jung, Derrida and others must begin from Lacan. Lacan's theory includes many elements: questioning of the unconsciousness, the interpretation of the image, the refinement of the Oedipus complex, the delamination of the generation phase of the main subject, etc. However, these theories are basically carried out around the subject, so subject theory is the core and main content of Lacan's theory. Subject theory refers to the subject is deceived by the illusion during the mirror image period and he spends his lifetime on a road of no return, of which the master is the mysterious big other. The subject theory has the significance of enlightenment to those who immerse in materialistic to seek their genuine ego.As a microcosm of human society, the film allows viewers to see their own miniature through the image-based viewing and also inadvertently implies Lacan's main subject theory. Therefore, through the analysis of the film, it will help to understand the profound meaning of Lacan's theory and its enlightenment to the living of the modern people.This paper first describes philosophical sources for Lacan's main subject construction theory:Lacan's theory absorbed the spirit analysis, Surrealism, linguistics and structuralism, etc., but in this article, the author focuses on the philosophical origin of Lacan's theory, which includes Lacanian psychoanalysis of Freud, in particular the return and subversion of the unconsciousness, the absorption and reform of Keye Fu's interpretation of Hegel's dialectic of master and slave theory. Finally, Lacan also got the inspiration of anti-realism and in search of a domain of imagination. However, meanwhile, he also overthrew the theory of surrealism because he has classified everything as nothing. In the second part, the author introduces the specific content of the Lacanian theory in which it includes the presentation of the mirror theory, the interpretation to the core concepts of main subject construction theory:phallus, the other, the three orders, and alienation, etc. Also there were parsing words as his unconsciousness is the form of argument. In the third part, the author analyzes the theory of subject construction reflected in the film, which mainly discusses the implication of mirror that appears in the film, the alienation of the subject in the film collective culture through film replacement, the public recognition to the film, and explores how to find human being's way to survive through the film.
