Relying on the historical background of rapid economic development,movie has become an important form of modern cultural consumption.Commercial movie has occupied most of the fields in the movie market and has gradually become the measures for us to perceive the society and made us gradually lose our understanding and judgment for ourselves.The criticism of the movie is declining.In the living context of this movie,Lars von Trier bursts into the public view.He bears the cross of abstract concepts such as human,moral and thought.Lars von Trier is a movie director of mater level in Denmark and each of his movie leaves a deep impression on people.Similar to European movies,his movie is of strong artistic atmosphere and rational thinking.Lars von Trier concentrates his thinking of real problems and attention to human nature in the movies and the themes are heavy and oppressive.Thecharacters in the movie,especially the female images,are lonely and miserable,and the devastating ending makes the movie full of tragic atmosphere.This is quite different from the Hollywood movies with magnificent scenes and audio-visual effects.Lars von Trier's movies show the hardship of the present world,a world even more brutal than hardships.There is no joy and it gives people a strong sense of depression and grief.Such depression and grief are like a mirror,which breaks the illusion of reality,inspires the conscience of the soul of the audience,and awakens the feelings of pity,sympathy and respect.This article is divided into three parts.The first part is introduction.This paper mainly focuses on the reason for the selected topic,purpose and present situation of research,innovation points and methods of the research and the literature review of Lars von Trier's movies and his single film analysis.The second part is the main body of the article,which is divided into four chapters.The first chapter mainly introduces the basic facts of arts in Lars von Trier movies from three aspects.It first hackles Lars von Trier ' s work experience in movie and other situation of the movie of the time sequence.Secondly,it analyzes the realism style in Lars vonTrier's movie from the two aspects of the creation principles and methods.In creation principle,Lars von Trier pays close attention to reality,integrates all the problems in reality into the movie and gives a warning to the future of human society by means of movie.Lars von Trier not only portrays the typical image in the typical living environment,but also is on the road to seek the way to reflect the real life as true as possible.They create the movie works that originate from life but higher than life through his secondary creation.In the creation method,Lars von Trier has put the image style to recovery its original simplicity into practice.He gives up his initial fascination with film skills and is reluctant to be in the same magnificent scene of the mainstream movie.From the Golden Heart Trilogy,Lars von Trier takes a portable photography,uses a large number of close-up,slow lens and other lens languages,focuses the sense of reality on performance of the actor and the psychological activity of the characters so that the audience can clearly and clearly understand the intention expressed in the movie.Finally,affected by the edification of religious culture and the environmental impact of domestic trouble and foreign invasion,Lars von Trier's movies are of strong religious atmosphere and thought-provoking theme.In thesecond chapter,the tragic female image in the film of Lars von Trier is divided.By regarding “Dogme 95” as the time point,he divides the female image in the film into “compromising female image”,“helpless female image”,and“despaired female image ”.As dividing the “ compromising female image ”,appearance of colors in costumes and environment can be obtained by analyzing color,music and voice,showing the female image property of Bess and Selma.Meanwhile,their image can be enriched,thus abstractive tragic meaning of Bess and Selma can be revealed in materialization.Music participation sets off plot atmosphere,continues film emotions,reveals emotional changes of Bess and Selma,and performs the sorrowful colors to perfection.Also,dialogues and voiceovers make them vivid and real.This not only reveals inner contradictions and conflicts,but also promotes the plot development.As dividing“helpless female image”,by using figure structure as the main opinion,Justine,Claire and wife retreat one step after another under the external environmental pressure.Under the internal conflicts,they suffer a crushing defeat,thus they get caught in the helpless vortex.As dividing “despaired female image”,Joe and Grace are forced to the hopeless situation by male power and objective factors of hypocrisy andbadness in humanity.Their revolt is weak,powerless and fragile under the irreversible overall background.Based on the examples of the movie,the Third Chapter analyzes the causes of tragic female images.It discusses from the external cold social environment and the internal discordant emotional relationship.In the Fourth Chapter,Lars von Trier's portray of tragic female image shows the director's concern for real social problems and the exploration of complex human nature.On the one hand,the director affirms the rights of women,and examines the law and system.On the other hand,it reveals the complexity of human nature through conflicts between desire and reason,kindness and evil.The third part is the conclusion of the paper and is the summary of the paper on the whole.
