It is no doubt that "the movie's narrative tactics under postmodern–culture conditions "is a controversial and meaningful question for study. The narrative mode of contemporary movie has been in a special situation because of the influence of industrial cultures. The issue of movie has become more marketable, which led to the narrative mode of movie has become more marketable and the similarity of culture connotation in the movies of eastern and western world. The virtue problem in mass media era has also affect the movie's narration in many negative respects. All of these factors brought "dual crisis"in movie narrations: the crisis between authority narration and convention narration, the crisis between narrative language and narrative standards. It is in the result of "dual crisis"that the displace of authors and audience, the transform from common narration to individual narration, from complete narration to fragment and split narration, from narration follow the plot to narration opposed the plot. Irony has become the important means in movie narrative language, which replace the traditional serious and simple narrative language. The movie's narrative regulation has changed from self-discipline to recreation. Movie has basic narrative tactics in postmodern times. About the tactics of time and space, spatio-temporal coordinates gradually fade. About the tactics of visual angles, the visual spots are complicate and unreliable. In the pictures, the fixed visual spots have disappeared, the visual spots changed from a omniscient angle to a limited angle. Sometimes it is hid , which make the audience puzzled. The lying visual spot means the unreliability of the characters'statement, the logicality of the movie and the audio-visual image. In the structural tactics respects, many means have been used in the movie narrations such as repetition, fraction, mixture and stick. All of these means make a whole offensive structure mode and open structure mode. From these basic tactics, we could find the special reflect of postmodern culture's spirit. Many narrative tactics exist in modern movies, such as rhetoric, ethics, ideology. Movie is just a metaphoric art and the metaphor is the natures of it. The rhetoric of postmodern movie's narration is just like a game, which has multiple meanings. It is not so clear and understandable as classic movie and so obscure as modern movie in metaphor methods. It expressed itself in a ease and indifferent attitude. It could not clear up the meanings behind the metaphor and even don't plan to do that. The tactics of ethic in movie are coding and peering to eroticism and violence. In the ideology respects of movie's narration, the picture's ideology has appeared some new natures , which caused by the contest between movie text's suture and anti-suture, cover and uncover. The new-type ideological terms have gradually formed in the influence of these new natures. The thesis at last emphasized on the practical problems of Chinese movie's narration in postmodern times. The incurrent movies created by Chinese sixth-generation directors in the 1990s have many postmodern artistic peculiarities. The difficult existent positions of mankind and the anxious existent conditions have been showed in these pictures, which exhibited the postmodern culture's natures. They are in the edge of current cultures and insist their individual creative route and their own ideal without blind shift. It is unavoidable that they had imitated the expressive means in western pictures such as stick, deconstruction,disintegrate image,discontinuous and jumping construction. So that what they had displayed is very plane, shallow and lacking of moving effects compare to the western pictures. Then the admit to the language mode of postmodern movies in the whole world ranges could realize appropriate synthesis and new creation by combining with the nationality, region and individuality. Regardless of commercial movie, current movie or artistic movie, the most important thing is we should not soliloquize out of the world'movie circumstances. On the contrary, we should mix together and make up some Chinese movies with real world visions.
