Puzzle film,as an innovation and subversion of classic narrative,is the modernization of the film form and structure expressed by the complex modernization of narrative.As a manifestation of the modernity of Chinese cinema,contemporary Chinese puzzle films have been borrowed from the Chinese social context with the help of film creators,and have gradually taken root through the process of "localization".,Showing a typed trend with a realist tendency.While contemporary Chinese puzzle films function in narrative,they are close to the existence of multiple classes,whether it is the vulnerable groups at the bottom,criminals who want to get rich overnight,marginalized people who have lost their identity,or have been abandoned in the torrent of the times The laid-off workers in China have never given them hope,but have repeatedly crushed their dignity and stripped away the value of social existence.Demonstrating the futility of individual resistance to social systems and family relationships,deepening the understanding of the cultural ecology under power installations,it is enough to glimpse the social mentality under the great changes in the new period.The author selects contemporary Chinese mystery movies as the research object,and comprehensively uses cultural studies,sociology,narratology and other related theories to carry out a cross-disciplinary cultural thinking.Drawing on Abdose's"Symptom Reading Method",this paper explores the "symptoms" of social problems in the current context of China and the social realities of metaphors behind by carefully reading the problems of the social strata of the characters in the text.This article starts from four chapters.The first chapter proposes the research objects and research questions,makes a macro statement of the current status of the Chinese society as a whole,and puts forward the possibility of symptom reading in puzzle movies.The second part is mainly about The presentation of different class identities in specific texts shows that there is a power confrontation under the difference of social classes;the third part studies the stylized construction of class identities under the complex narrative skills of contemporary Chinese puzzle films;the fourth part discusses Through the study of class issues in film texts,the social issues such as social class differentiation,the gap between the rich and the poor,and social values are revealed.Finally,in the concluding part,the author returns his vision to the localized creation of the puzzle film,expressing Prospects and Prospects of Contemporary Chinese Puzzle Movies.It can be seen that behind the narrative of the puzzle is the construction of a new puzzle landscape.The stylized construction of the puzzle landscape in Chinese film creation can be regarded as a breakthrough attempt in business and art with solid results in recent years.The film market has gradually gained creative context and breakthrough opportunities.In the current process of Chinese society's integration into the global economic structure,film creators have strengthened their investigation of social phenomena.Through the world of video,it is revealed that the current society still has backward production relations,unstable construction foundations,and large gaps between the rich and the poor.And other contradictory issues;presenting a complex and conflicting relationship of interests in the struggle for resources and the environment and economic benefits;telling the creators of the real dilemma of class consolidation and opposition.
