"Ant-Man 2: The Wasp Appears" is a superhero movie. It inherits and innovates the narrative strategy of Hollywood science fiction movies. Through the all-round display of heroism complex, it actively explores the unknown secrets of the micro world. The audience brought the collective climax into the virtual field and the real space, paving the way for the commercial operation of the film. Next, the editor will use the interpretation of "Ant-Man 2" from four aspects to let everyone understand the shaping of the narrative techniques of American science fiction films.
First, the popularization of heroes and the shaping of dual identities
Marvel movies always adhere to the inherent creative mode when shaping heroes, and start from the behavior motives of the characters, telling interesting but thought-provoking science fiction stories , Through the protagonist to save the world with one person, giving the hero a symbol of justice and legalization.
"Ant-Man 2: The Wasp Appears" also focuses on the two superheroes' different endurance and endurance capabilities, and gives the heroes a civilian-like creative perspective and family consciousness. Following the story narration of "Ant-Man 1", the male protagonist Scott Lang has the dual identities of superhero and family pillar. On the one hand, he is a superhero with a special mission; on the other hand, Scott Long is Casey’s father and hero. The relationship between father and daughter is deep. Different from previous classic science fiction films, this film The dramatic conflict between family and responsibilities is increased, and the protagonist is endowed with multiple social identities. Scott does not have a very strong protagonist aura. He is both an Ant-Man and a father. He needs to shoulder a mission and must be reserved for love. This kind of character setting makes the protagonist have a strong atmosphere of family life, more humane beauty and human touch.
Hollywood science fiction films show universal aesthetic value through the portrayal and modeling of heroes, and complete the meaning structure of survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest in the urban jungle law, so that the weak can extend a sense of worship from the inside to the outside for the strong And pride. The film has achieved considerable box office results. In addition to its shocking effects for audiences in terms of narrative structure and audio-visual language, the popular creation tendency of heroes is also a key factor in its box office success. In "Ant-Man 2: The Wasp Appears", the Marvel creative team let the audience feel how the heroes get rid of the primitive animality and complete the transformation with humanity, humanity and sacredness step by step, adding many narrative highlights and uniqueness to the film Innovation.
Second, the opposition and unification of the narrative space under the strict logic system. The characterization and image shaping of heroes of
are important weights for the commercialization of Hollywood science fiction movies. The establishment and construction of story situations will also affect science fiction movies. The narrative model plays a vital role. Through the interlocking storylines, the drama conflicts of the whole film are enlarged, and it is easier to effectively capture the audience's visual attention, and complete the film's macroscopic story structure with multiple narrative perspectives. For "Ant-Man 2: The Wasp Appears", its focus is to construct the film's narrative space from two levels. The first is the externalized quantum space in the microcosm, which involves the theory of quantum mechanics. Many theories derived from quantum mechanics have typical science fiction experience, so they are often used in science fiction movies. The film involves the quantum space of the micro world, and the ghost girl is an externalized figure based on the uncertainty theory of quantum.
Ghost Girl has a strong uncertainty in its own functions, and all microscopic particles exist in real life, enabling it to travel freely in modern society; because of this, her body particles have become the competition for many black hands. The object, the film narrative is trapped in the retrieving and tearing of quantum space. The quantum space deliberately created in the film becomes the foothold for the existence of all dramatic conflicts. In the quantum space, different realistic environments will appear, unfolding in a time vortex. The depiction of the story situation provides a reasonable scientific basis and development opportunity for Ant-Man to defeat Thanos. The second is the internal psychological space from a subjective perspective. As a hero, the protagonist Scott must shoulder the mission and responsibility of Ant-Man, but he is also a father. Although he has spent many years outside, he longs for the warmth of the family. When he was faced with the dual choice between family responsibility and social responsibility, the film tried to convey to the audience the subjective feelings of Scott's mood, and to portray the inner emotions of the protagonist in an all-round way, deep into the subconscious realm of the characters, and explore the American heart Deep in the social moral consciousness about family and responsibility.
Third, the dissolution and reconstruction of classic mythology
Hollywood science fiction movies not only integrate the dual narrative methods of technology and art, but also dissolve and reconstruct the classic mythology, completing the modern transformation of the ancient myth narrative. Almost all influential science fiction movies can find corresponding narrative passages from ancient myths. Hollywood science fiction films cleverly borrowed the narrative logic and shaping methods of classic myths, enriching and deepening the cultural implications of this type of film.
"Ant-Man 2: The Wasp Appears" also continues and develops this creative mode. The film gives Scott a status with a special mission, the emergence of heroes, and emphasizes the legendary experience of the protagonist's background. The all-round shaping of superhero characters and the storyline of reunion after hundreds of thousands of twists and turns are all strengthening the mythological awareness and supernaturalism of the Marvel movie universe, conveying the strategic needs of Marvel movies for cultural communication, and using the brand The image has built its own path of cultural development. It can be said that at the narrative level, Marvel movies basically inherited and inherited the commercialization of Hollywood sci-fi movies, the opposing drama conflicts, and formed a relatively fixed and coordinated interactive mode between audiences.
Fourth, the pursuit and reflection of the main idea
film text can reflect the deep collective consciousness of a country and nation. This kind of symbolic code with cultural imprints always tries to use image language to complete the function and goal of cultural transmission. The Haocaiwu science fiction film has been promoting and promoting the so-called American spirit, and has successfully transported American ideology to all parts of the world. Hollywood has created many types of science fiction films that integrate the background of the times and show the social outlook, inspiring the emotional resonance and subjective initiative of the broad audience, making them analyze the profound value embodied in the film based on the simple storyline, showing Concern for the subjective status of human beings has a strong sense of social criticism.
On the one hand, "Ant-Man 2" runs through a complex of heroism from beginning to end, and on the basis of preaching humanitarianism, it calls for the harmonious symbiosis between humans and natural creatures. Heroism is actually human’s natural worship of great power. Many superheroes created by Goodwood are tasked with the mission of saving mankind; but for "Ant-Man 2: The Wasp", individualism is no longer prominent. In part, Ant-Man Scott was helped by the natural biological ant population in the process of saving the world. The film closely connects the success of heroes with the ecological environment, which not only highlights the stalwart and loftiness of superheroes, but also reflects the harmony between man and nature.
On the other hand, "Ant-Man 2" uses machine narrative to establish the film's politicized position and strengthen the sovereign will of the country. Although Hollywood sci-fi movies are promoted and disseminated globally, they are only a small and privatized human wealth; the publication and distribution of all its sci-fi movies need to be exported in strict accordance with national laws and regulations, and the storyline of the film In fact, it also represents the visual expression of the sovereign will of the country. For this reason, when all science fiction films adopt the strategy of machine narrative, they will more or less reflect the politicization of the film. The ultimate goal of science fiction is not to complete the aesthetic and entertainment dissemination of movies. Its important meaning is to refer to a certain kind of existential anxiety in real life and to develop objective thinking about political strategies. This allows the film to produce a serious narrative atmosphere with political discourse status, which has a critical charm related to society and reality.
Summary: Hollywood sci-fi movies endow the film with diversified artistic expressions based on technical means; in the narrative process of this type of film, heroes are placed in a key position, and they are endowed with human wisdom and emotions. The film is strongly humanistic. Science fiction movies have profoundly recorded the trajectory of the development of human history, and tried to use superb technical means to prove the seamless connection between film art and science and technology, which broadened the field of expression of art forms and at the same time integrated into the understanding of the real society And analysis, to make it more objective and authentic. "Ant-Man 2: The Wasp" is based on the classic comics. The film has exciting audio-visual effects, clear and smooth narrative strategy, which brings strong visual impact and shock to the viewers, so as to achieve the appreciation of the elegance and the common. The aesthetic entertainment effect. However, it is worth noting that if sci-fi movies simply give people the enjoyment of beauty from the technical level, and ignore the social benefits and philosophical connotations behind the film text, they will not be able to penetrate into the everyday life of the public.Only science fiction movies that perfectly integrate science and art can jointly mobilize the dual resonance of the audience's emotions and ideas.
