Abstract

Film is no doubt a special media nowadays, which has become one of the most important social practices and mainstream cultural forms all around the globe. The symbols in the films do play a role researching human nature, sexual relationship, social change and power struggle. Contemporary movies[5] have doubtlessly affected our mind towards society, involving fine arts, modern sociology, and psychoanalysis. As a form of visual media, films are expanding its influence over a wide variety of people’s previous and present life, which has also made an achievement when it starts exploring power relations about woman’s status by using visual and aural techniques. In this qualitative paper, the relationships between Semiotics and Chinese movie “Raising the Red Lantern” would be discussed, analyzing some of the meaningful symbols that exist in the film, and the social backgrounds that are worth for people to look deep into during the period.
