Abstract

In recent years, the academic community has primarily engaged in in-depth analysis and comparative interpretations of narrative techniques and female psychological aspects in Chinese and American chick flicks, a specific genre within the realm of cinema. This exploration delves into the resurgence of traditional elements and the subversion of modern elements. Understanding individual self-realization within this cyclical exploration process, as well as the diverse representations of modernist awakening in film imagery across different societal contexts, requires an analytical perspective that combines narratology and semiotics to explore the underlying causes and historical origins behind different visual representations. Comparative analysis of Chinese and American chick flicks reveals both commonalities and distinct societal and temporal characteristics in terms of stylistic approaches, aesthetic viewpoints, and thematic choices. This comparison facilitates China’s adoption of mature production experiences and cultural traits from the United States, injecting richer cultural connotations into chick flicks and the entire genre of cinema.
