Violence In The Movie:form And Function

From the beginning of the film development to the abundance of types of film work on the screen, violence has been accompanied by the century development of filmdom. With the elapse of time and changes of times, violence in the movie appears more and more frequently. Methods of expression become more and more diverse. Elements of violence are filled in a variety of commercials and become one of expressing topics everywhere. Violence acts as the strongest excitant in the film works, stimulates the senses of the audience and coerces the audience’s audio-visual experience, further becomes the indispensable element in the commercialization of movies. While the scenes of blood dripping and of body flying diffuse movie screen, the theorists also have concern on the issue of violent images, but most of these theories focus on establishing concept, the concept of using or combing historical stages, There is not overall research in the function that the violence in the movie reflect in different types, as the movie that a kind of collective creation of commercial products, most of the scholars did not go deep into the creation mechanism for concrete analysis of violence in films and internal elements of the use and performance. Compared to the violent images of the abuse in the movies, theoretical research enunciates slightly. In addition, as a kind of the main special elements constituting narrative film and narrative framework," violence " appeared in the films of different types of business increasingly, showing the violent behavior become one of the most important kind of expression of film and television works, violence become the main subject of action films, martial arts films and other types of films, and even that some advertise as other types of films take violence as the actual content too. Research in the form of violence and functional meaning in the films, can give the audience correct understanding and guidance in the appreciation of the violence in the movie, as well as to make reasonable assurance in the process of creation for violence. Especially viewing from the current situation of creation of the domestic film industry, commercial movies are as mainstream Chinese films which will go to the world, how to grasp the spirit of traditional culture reflected in the movie, how to control violence by reasonable form and expression of the scale in the film, has become a problem need to be discussed and solved. We can also analysis violent elements in a variety of genres through some of the other countries and regions which have distinct characteristics, in order to get some reminder on the creation and theoretical reference.Thus, there is space that remains to be mining for the question "the violence in the movie" in the theoretical research, also has the important practical significance in the film creation and audience take-up. Therefore, this paper will focus on specific types of movies with lots of critical force elements, analyze the cause of violence in films, comb the development history of the violence with the development process of film, detail different expressions of element of violence in different types, meaning of existence and social impact and induce common functions of violent elements in a particular type of film. At the same time, I will deepen process of collective creation, emphasize how to embody violent elements in the creation subject which has the different division of labor, and show what kind of impact of completed film as a result of working all together, in addition, as an example of the specific film of the specific director, analyze the difference and characteristics between display technique and strength under the different cultural background and social environment. This paper attempts to do a more fulfilling and deep-seated theoretical generalization to the violence of movie from multiple perspectives. In writing, I used the narrative, psychoanalysis and other related method of film theory review, combined the related theory of aesthetics, sociology, psychology and anthropology, in order to construct theoretical system that they can confirm and complement each other in macroscopic and microcosmic aspects. By discussing the existence value and social function of violence in the movie, further expand the research scope of film theory, and then try to provide certain theory basis for theoretical research of mass culture along with the change of the time.
