This earned him a seatin the integral pattern of the film industry.This paper explored Tykwer’s artfrom four aspects.The first part,Tykwer’s film enlightenment and his way to fame.Adirector’s film experience and his movie conception is inextricably linked tobackground of the times,as well as personal and cultural environment.Tykwergrow in prosperity of the New German Cinema，the representative works of theNew German Cinema screened in the cinemas make Tykwer gained passion formovies and ideas about movies. In addition to the New German Cinema, Tykwer’sfilm literacy is also inseparable from the influence of Hollywood films. Thelove for movies and a series of film-related practical experience in youthhas strengthened the resolve of Tykwer to set boot in the film industry.After graduating from high school he first honed at the grassroots movie afew years, then at the encouragement and support of the famous Germanproducer Rosa von Praunheim，he began to engage in the work of director withshort films, and after a few slices of stylized minister exploration,finally with the fame of "Run Lola Run",he embarked on the internationalroad.The second part,the narrative strategy of the game era. Tykwer’s filmprofoundly reflect the narrative strategy of the game era. He almost everyfilm are subject to change and breakthroughs the structure, the structurehere in his even become a "rich meaningful form." The core concepts of thefilm that"life-Arts-Film" is nothing but a game’s and the logicalthinking of the video game has successfully deconstructed the traditionallogical thinking person of narrative, the character identity and thenarrative structure. The collage sense which comes from the cross structureof "cloud" make people gained the pleasant sensation of riddle. Even the typeof linear causal structure, he will use some clever means make it full of newpossibilities.The third part,the gamification of the audio-visual language. Corresponds to the narrative strategy,the film’s visual language is also showing thecharacteristics of gamification. This focus reflected in three aspects. Firstunder the concept which he called "liberal media" spawned the media mix andsplit screen. Second, the stylized movie shot which as representative ofrotating zoomenses and tilt shot,the shipped inside color metaphors andsurreal images. Third, the music is no longer just accessories of the screen,but become an important means of structure the film,depicting the characters,and deepening the keynote.The fourth part,the profound expression of ideology. Although Tykwer’sfilm make audience to indulge in the pleasure of narrative, but his film isreally heavy in terms of content, particularly in terms of ideology. Thecharacter of his movie can be divide into two groups:the fated subject andthe untamed traitor. But the two different character sequence will experiencethe same life path: against the ruling ideology, and then get the sameoutcome: unable to escape but arrest.
