Scientific knowledge is a whole,which refers to the physical knowledge and also includes sociocultural connotation.The current narrative paradigm of Hollywood science fiction films is gradually showing a new trend,which contains the connotation of physical science.It can also be regarded as a match of lifestyle and truth,and as a reward for life by art.The subject of Science(quantum mechanics),mapped by many films,is one of the pillars of the Natural Science Development in twentieth Century.Quantum mechanics and classical relativity constitute the two theoretical bases for understanding the world,and the narrative factors of Hollywood science fiction movies as well.Hence,it is very important to value and analyze it.And This leads to the following questions:''If quantum mechanics is placed in the field of literary research,how to connect it with related theoris?How to apply it to visual encoding and interpret it? Does it affect the mainstream values and contemporary epistemologies ?".This article uses the large perspective of post-classical narratology,selects two high-score Hollywood sci-fi films as the research objects to make a interdiscipliary cultural analysis of it from three dimensions:theroy,text and audience.When quantum mechanics comes into narratology,it reveals that the cognitive view is quite different from classical narration,and constructs the theoretical foundation of science fiction narration.The important ideologies of inverted causality,multi-world possibilities,possible cross-reality,and other awakened the narrators of inherent logic,causing audiences to excite the writers' bugs in their brains.However,all these are not imaginary fantasies,but are the magic power of the creator's own knowledge,which leads to a shift in narrative time,narrative space,narrative viewpoint,and narrative structure,then gradually forms a brand-new quantum narrative model.The current study of film narratology has broken away from the stereotype of form research,and begins to consider the ethical dimensions beyond narrative,such as history,consciousness and value.This inevitably draws attention to the fact that core thematic films for instance "future ","science and technology ",and "ecology",in Hollywood science fiction movies try to combine humanistic perspectives with scientific ideas,bring impacts on the audience's existing valued thinking,and give enlightment to the fate of human beings.In addition,the new science fiction films usually combine a large number of scientific and technological means,the virtual reality experience impacts the individual feelings of "existence",and the increasingly stereoscopic and intuitive world is recognized.The influence of these narratives is also to be considered in this narrative research.The science fiction films in the post-modern context are shaped by a "real and virtual at the same time" world,providing a source of imagination and relief for the multiple desires of the masses.The theme thought conveyed by these films may bring positive effects: enriching cognitive tomography and improving aesthetic appreciation;however,it may also bring negative effects: the birth of technological hegemony and nihilism.The success of Hollywood science fiction movies benefits from its true grasp and reflection of science and human nature.With the help of the charm of quantum narration,it is writing a variety of possibilities in the symbolic world.Due to the practical limitation of the author's academic level,this paper analyzes the quantum narrative mode based on the formal level of classical narratology,and systematically explains that quantum narration is the internal frame and mechanism that affects the success or failure of the sci-fi film narrative.Secondly,from the perspective of post-classical narration,we think about the embodiment of narrative ethics and the consequences of film and video communication from the perspective of scientific philosophy and cultural research criticism.
