The female’s body, this behavior is negative and dark. The females stand behind the males with a humble position. Or they will appear on the screen with a "naked body" to satisfy the males "peering addiction". As feminist movement develops, a few films connected with physical and mental status of female occur naturally. Films not only try to disintegrate and reform the feudal ethics, but also save the trapped females. However, using male discourse to express female dilemmas is not effective.Male discourse is still occupied a dominant position in Chinese film culture system. Women’s freedom and effort are supposed to be carried out within the scope of men’s identity and permission. In other words, gender injustice still existed in Chinese film history. Maybe we have improved this phenomenon, but we do not have to solve it.The fundamental way to solve this problem is to understand the cause and growth. The main body of film is vision. If we want to get rid of the inappropriate narrative way, we must unscramble the symbolic and metaphorical meaning of female body in film test. We should embark on the body culture and put emphasis on female body.A research on "body" began in the west.At first, few people care about a subject of "body", but now a large number of people from various fields pay more importance on this subject. With the global development of international situation, the importance of body is more and more obvious. "Body" is not only the human body, but also a symbol of culture, politics, economy and life to a station, a people or a society.In recent years Chinese films, some films about "body" have appeared, such as 《Lust, Caution》, 《Lost in Beijing》, 《Dam Street》 and so on. The appearance of these films make the Chinese films culture appear studying the body culture in these films play an important role in knowing Chinese films culture. In Chinese films culture, because of the influence of traditional culture, the feudal ethics, feudal patriarchal clan system and patriarchal system occupy the leading position. The decadent ideas of discriminating women occur in many films. These ideas include women are inferior to men, the three obedience and the four virtues and this woman is dangerous.Males are all leading roles in films, they are symbol of hero, bright and bigness, what’s more, females can’t dispute and shake the authority of males. The male oppress this paper is based on body culture. It is divided into five chapters. In the introduction part, I introduce the basic situation and origin of this paper. The definition of some related terns theory in the article will be involved in the first chapter. This chapter is mainly related to the concept of "body"、"physical culture"、"the film body culture" and so on. Only after understanding the theory, can be combine the theory and practice better to state theme. The second chapter, the third chapter and the fourth chapter is to show Chinese film in the gender injustice of film analysis. It focus on the political metaphor、temptation and desires of women body, as well as women’s emotion, marriage, family and other issues. The fifth chapter makes a reflection on Chinese gender inequality Phenomenon and puts forward some suggestions in order to make their own contribution to the development and reform of China film system, In conclusion, I make a prospect for the future development of Chinese film, in order to have a bright future of gender harmony.
