The profound changes in the mode of production started in the1760s, not onlychanging the relations of production, but also renewing the superstructure. For China’spublic speaking, on one hand, we have entered the modern society in the economic basis,but on the other hand, the corresponding political democracy and aesthetic culture seem tobe some lengthy. Stuck in this embarrassing situation, deep anxiety about modernityidentity of a national which is also as the psychological characteristics of the entire nationis becoming increasingly clear in the culture and art.This paper choose one kind of the anxiety about identity——the pursuit of fashion;choose one kind of the art types——film;through one perspective——aesthetics try toseek big issues through small phenomena. From the aesthetics scrutiny of the fashionelement used in Chinese movies try to make some warnings and guidance to Chinesemovie which is rushing to use fashion element and also try to gain some inspiration of themodernization of China.The front part of this article will introduce the reason for studying the topic.
