A Study Of Science Fiction Films Using Nonlinear Narrative As A Tool

In the 1960s,nonlinear narrative films with more abstract thinking emerged in the context of post-modern narrative discourse.In the creation of science fiction films,nonlinear time narration often becomes a tool for creators to express their cognition and imagination of the future time form because of its special structure.At the same time,this kind of narrative time pass around the viewer the conventional understanding of single linear time,which can produce remarkable effect of inspiration and imagination,is also used in science fiction movies echo contemporary scientific research time or agree with philosophy of science fiction to imagine all kinds of time,such as time travel,cycle time,parallel space and time,etc.,To reshape the perception of time and life.Time breaks away from a single frame in the film,and becomes a carrier that can reflect and depict the flowing state of human consciousness,such as the shuttle of consciousness,the dialogue between self and space,and the reincarnation of past life.When science fiction movies try to discuss time with a more accurate imagination and a more complete vision by using nonlinear time narrative as a tool,we are also able to explore the meaning of life under such unconventional thinking time picture.Based on the two basic problems of "nonlinear narrative time" and "narrative time of science fiction films",this paper expounds the special function and principle of this kind of time narrative in science fiction films by analyzing and studying the content of science fiction films with nonlinear time narrative.Discuss how nonlinear time narrative can produce enhancement effects in science fiction films;Try to provide a new narrative strategy for the creation of science fiction theme video art;And the possibility that it gradually forms one of the narrative methods of human image creation.The text of this paper will be divided into the following six parts:The introduction mainly introduces the significance of the topic and literature review.The first chapter mainly through the analysis and sorting out the time span from the 1960s to the 21st century non-linear time narrative science fiction films related to the development of nonlinear time narrative science fiction films,analysis of nonlinear time in the role of the change and the role of.Through the analysis of the characteristics and changes of character setting in this kind of science fiction movies with examples,the characteristics and trends of change point to the abdication of human subjectivity in science fiction movies with nonlinear narrative,as well as the unique cognitive differences of characters caused by information asymmetry caused by the dislocation of time sequence.Characters tend to be flat,but more aimed at the establishment of a mechanism,the output of ideology,and even deliberately biased to the other end,creating a "character" abstract into some "other",or even to the transformation of the mysterious consciousness of inhumanity.The second chapter is about the nonlinear narrative time expression accords with the philosophy of science fiction imagination of all kinds of time picture specific elaboration,which categorizes several types of nonlinear time narrative,time disorder,bifurcation,parallel,cycle,and so on,and combined with specific movie examples to analyze the effect of the principle and what effect to achieve.The purpose is to discuss the necessity of nonlinearity in science fiction imagination.The third chapter is mainly to supplement the important concepts in the classification process of the previous chapter,which is helpful to further clarify the complex space-time logic in the complex nonlinear narrative structure,and the concepts that are easy to confuse and blur,so as to discuss the advantages of this narrative technique for science fiction films.Chapter four discusses the interaction between the nonlinear narrative and the audience’s linear view of time.In section one,the audience perceiws the time "synchrony" of nonlinear out-of-order reorganization and increases its own thickness and depth.The second section focuses on how nonlinear structure itself becomes a good tool for the "thought experiment" of science fiction film,and how to put the audience into this "thought experiment".The third section points out that the non-linear time structure works because it constantly challenges the linear logic of reality and uses the audience’s linear logic to create science fiction imagination.Chapter five discusses the significance of nonlinear narrative time for science fiction films.Section one discusses the mythologization of time and the reconstruction of time in fictional narration.The second section discusses the combination of nonlinear time narration and post-human era image narration.The third section elaborates the tolerance of the tension of nonlinear narrative to the diverse expression of reality,as well as the neutralization of contradictions.The special structural advantages of nonlinear narrative films,which are unconventional,complex in form,full of paradoxes and internal conflicts,are consistent with the kernel of cultural reality.The fourth section discusses that the nonlinear time structure has a unique predictive property and provides logical methods for the audience’s psychology of "prediction" and "verification prediction",that is,it has a positive significance of constructing the future.
