The Study Of China Image In The Film Adaptation Of White Deer

"White Deer" presents different cultural image of China in the process of adaptating the novel for film.This is mainly manifested in two aspects.They are local culture and confucian culture.It can be said that the novel and the film are successeful in showcasing local culture.They presente the image of native China with the local cultural symbols of Shaanxi opera,ancestral halls,stage and so on.The film and the novel reflect a huge difference in presenting confucian culture.The film narrative thread is talking something between Tian xiao,e and a group of man around her.The cultural reflection and reconstruction in the original work reduced greatly.Chinese contemporary literature practice should have three tendencies in selecting the cultural symbols to appear Chinese culture image.The first is to choose cultural symbols with Chinese characteristics.The second is that the cultural symbols should have universal within worldwide.The third is that the cultural symbols should have time characteristic.Narrative theme is an important prerequisite to tell the story of China.The narrative theme of "White Deer" are mainly Chinese culture and Chinese revolution.The film is lack of cultural theme implication.As the same time,the subversion and deconstruction of modern Chinese revolution in the original is missing.There are many issues in the process of film adaptation.This makes us even more convinced that Chinese contemporary literature should stand on the practice of "self" building position to present China image.There are three strategies for Chinese contemporary art practice to present China image standing on the practice of "self" building position.The first is that we should pay attention to the problem of achieving internal functions when we construct China image.The second is that we should seek the way of self-improvement from the "cultural otherness".The third is that we should make sure that the "history of national spirit" and the history of social life participate together in the China image we construct.Literature and movies have their own characteristics when they present China image.Under the new era of environmental,film moves towards the mainstream position to present China image.It is inseparable from the help of literature.Of course,literature should also be actively seeking cooperation with film to fulfill its new mission.Literature and film are representative art forms in Chinese contemporary art practice.The relation of literary and film should be mutual complementarity and harmony in the sight of studying China image.Cultural and aesthetic reality are common feature of literature and film when they present China image.Literature and film are like two carriages when they tow Chinese contemporary art practice together to present China image.
