The study is based on the perspective of narratology and space theory,and discusses Tsai Ming-liang's space narrative practice and the characteristics of his narrative space from the construction of narrative space,the representation of narrative space and the reorganization of narrative space,nine works directed by Tsai Ming-liang's as research samples,the narrative space in his works as the research object,by using content analysis method and case study method and documentary research method.Then,the study summarizes his narrative themes to respond to the characteristics of narrative space.At last,the study analyzes the reasons for this style formation and the significance of this style to film art,etc.The study is divided into five parts in total,the theoretical interpretation of space narrative,the space narrative practice of Tsai Ming-liang's films,the space narrative features of Tsai Ming-liang's films,and the formation reasons and significance of Tsai Ming-liang's space narrative style included.To answer these questions:How Tsai Ming-liang's films narration is completed by shaping the narrative space?What are the characteristics of this narrative space?Does this feature have a certain relationship with movie expression?What are the reasons and significance of this space narrative style?The study finds that Tsai Ming-liang has constructed a large number of urban spaces for narratives to start urban narratives,has used a large number of long shots and effect sounds to show a more realistic image world and richer character emotions,has used parallel montage means to reorganize the narrative space and gain stronger appeal and expressive power.The study also founds that Tsai Ming-liang paid great attention to the closedness of space when he constructed the narrative space.In his performance of the narrative space,the use of a fixed long lens makes the space dull,the use of a long lens in the depth of field makes the space feel layered,in addition,the voice space has the characteristics of basically eliminating dialogue and highlighting the effects,the singing and dancing space presents a strong contrast.The characteristics of the narrative space formed by these practices are conducive to expressing the two narrative themes of loneliness and desire.In the end,the author holds the opinion that the formation of this space narrative style has a certain relationship with the director's own growth experience and the social environment in which he was at that time.Although this narrative style is not necessarily universal,it still enriches the film art expression.
