Abstract

With the continuous development of feminism, the female images in films have changed accordingly in recent years. In order to explore the development status of female consciousness in China and the West, this research selects the Chinese film “The Crossing” and the American film “Lady Bird” as the objects, conducting in-depth analysis by the method of close reading and comparative study. In the multi-line narration of the film, we can see different female images in family and love. In general, the female consciousness in both Chinese and Western films has developed considerably. Among them, the construction of female image has its overall similarity, but also there are differences in style and performance.
