Women’s cinema is a film genre that uses women as the main narrative content to show the situation of women’s lives in the current society.The space of women’s films is a reproduction of women’s status in real life,and the physical and mental space presented in the films can reflect the status of women’s power of speech in the real society.Since China entered the new century,under the background of "her economy",the development of women’s films has been on the rise,and a large number of "chick" films have entered the market to meet the preferences of female audiences.The early women’s films mostly expressed the opposition between men and women,with women resisting male gaze and opposing the patriarchal society,while the recent women’s films mostly expressed women’s self-subjects and presented women’s independent consciousness of self-sufficiency and self-improvement.This paper takes the spatial construction in women’s films as the main research content,analyzes the textual significance of space in women’s films in the new century with feminist film theory and spatial theory,and reveals that the space in women’s films is not only a geographical space but also a psychological,emotional and cultural space.The spatial constructions in these films not only present women’s survival and psychological experiences in the city,but also reflect women’s thoughts and reflections on power,interpersonal relationships and moral values.In the first chapter,the research background of this article is analyzed,the basis for the selection of the article and the current situation of the research are carefully sorted out,and the research ideas and research methods of the article are elaborated.In the second chapter,an overview of the development trend of female films and the spatial writing of female subjects is given.The theoretical basis of female space is discussed,and the representational meaning and connotation of female space are interpreted.In the third chapter,the spatial presentation of domestic women’s films is analyzed in detail with some cases,and the spatial construction in society and the spatial imagery in family are elaborated respectively.In Chapter 4,the reshaping of space in domestic women’s films is discussed,and the two major aspects of the awakening of self-space and the construction of women’s essence are argued.Chapter 5 discusses the shackling of women’s space by the preconception of the virtuous wife and mother and the reconstruction of women’s space by economic independence,pointing out the initial discipline and bondage of women’s space by male space and the self-liberation of women’s space now.In summary,this paper focuses on the space of domestic women’s films since the new century,using women’s films and space theory as theoretical models and supporting them with film works from different periods to analyze the physical space and mental space in women’s films,so as to explore the transformation of women’s identity status and the construction of women’s self-subjects,from focusing on the identity of the other to realizing the transformation of self-awareness,and to explore The film explores the spatial problems and spatial struggles women face in the family,workplace and social life.Film creators should gain a deeper understanding of the construction of women’s space and film works that present spatial issues to the audience and guide society to pay attention to and value women’s rights and social justice. |
