Abstract

Woody Allen is a representative of Hollywood's "literary directors", research on whose work has mainly concentrated on analysis of the narrative structure and urban culture of his films in recent years. For example, The Space Narrative of Woody Allen's Films by Dai Bojun, Daily Narrative of Woody Allenby Ranran and City Image in the Woody Allen's Films by Sheng Hanqi etc., these papers, from the perspective of the films themselves, specifically analyze the unique audiovisual features of Woody Allen's films. The research priorities of this paper are to use his films Midnight Barcelona and Mhere Atch Point as an example. It starts from how to create a three-dimensional and typical shaping of the "personal images", and compares the male and female characters in the two films. It also deconstructs the narrative strategies of Woody Allen's films, and combines feminist criticism and the "mirror stage" theory of Lacan. From the multi-cultural perspective, it interprets Woody Allen's films based on the "people" and "personal relationship", and puts forward the intertextuality of between character shaping on the one hand and theme expression, and between narrative strategy on the another hand and theme expression. It also proposes realistic expression of human’s desire for "primitive life."
