From the late 1970 s to the present,modernization has accelerated the process of urbanization in China,with the territory of cities gradually expanding to the countryside and individuals gradually moving from the countryside to the city to make a living.The city is just the prosperity for others,and the loneliness and anxiety of modern individuals are generated.Under the impact of modernity,the secularized society gave birth to the sprout of "possessive individualism",and the morality and ethics of the traditional society have been covered by the money and power in the secular market.Modernity breaks through traditional values like a flood.Social individuals are tightly trapped in the cage of modernity,which aggravates the loneliness,confusion and anxiety of individuals,groups and even the whole society.The breakage of the continuum of the state and the world and the lack of modern individual identity have led to the crisis of political and spiritual order in modern China.This paper takes Jia Zhangke's lonely consciousness as the research perspective.Firstly,the relationship between Jia Zhangke's sense of loneliness and his sense of isolation is analyzed from four aspects: the sense of confinement caused by regional isolation,the sense of wandering brought by his study experience,the sense of freedom generated by his independent temperament,and the sense of mission extended in the dual era of "post-cultural revolution" and "reform and opening up".Secondly,this paper summarizes the specific connotation of Jia Zhangke's loneliness consciousness from the three aspects of the closed trauma of the marginal group,the loneliness and pain of the emotional world,and the wandering loneliness with suspended identity.Through the analysis of the images,this paper probes into the image style of Jia Zhangke's lonely consciousness in his films from the perspectives of documentary lens elements and nostalgic sound elements.Thirdly,it extends the deep thinking on the cause of the contemporary individual loneliness consciousness from the three aspects of the lost countryside,one-way people and the fractured culture.Finally,the creative value of Jia Zhang ke's lonely consciousness is explored from the contradiction and inheritance between the sixth generation of directors and the fifth generation of directors,the balance between artistry and commerciality and collusion.Exploring the aesthetic value of Jia Zhangke's hardcore realism from two aspects: writing history through the mirror of The Times and focusing on the bottom layer with the common people's feelings;From the perspective of cultural value of modern symptoms,this paper analyzes the crisis of political order and spiritual order referred to in Jia Zhangke's lonely consciousness in his films,so as to explore the way to construct the new order of the country and the world and rebuild the individual identity of modern China.Jia Zhangke,as the conscience of The Times,captures the alternative history covered by the social changes of contemporary China with a lens full of nostalgia,and reflects the historical and cultural symptoms of a specific era with the living conditions of the little people at the bottom and the edge.Jia Zhang ke restored "China in reality" in front of the camera by means of hard-core realism,staring at the individual confusion and social devastation under the loneliness of modernity,highlighting the excavation of the individual spiritual dilemma of life and providing a way for the reconstruction of political order and spiritual order in modern China.
