| Ian Mc Ewan,known as the "writer of British",has 11 works adapted into movies or TV movies,including 10 films written or produced by himself,becoming one of the writers who are most closely related to the adaptation of novels.Through the careful study of the three selected novels of Mc Ewan and the analysis of the adapted films,this paper puts the research eye in the perspective of cross-media narrate,compares and analyzes the narrative strategies of Mc Ewan’s adapted films and the source texts,and tries to grasp the characteristics of the film and television adaptation of Mc Ewan’s novels as a whole,and grasp Mc Ewan’s cross-media narrative view.And enrich the theory and practice of cross-media narratology in adaptation research.The thesis is divided into four chapters.The first chapter analyzes the narrative characteristics of novel-adapted films from the perspective of popular culture,and combined with the cross-media narrative practice of the novel Enduring Love explains the common subject popularization phenomenon in the process of adaptation.The second chapter analyzes the adaptation of The Comfort of Strangers from the perspective of narrative space and narrative perspective,pointing out that the film reconstructs the narrative maze of the novel at the level of spatial narrative,restoring the potential crisis narrative in the novel through the stop-motion photography at the level of narrative discourse,and reducing the potential sense of crisis and the blurring of focus in the novel through the lens language of "no motivation".The third chapter cut into the film and television adaptation of the novel Atonement from the narrative structure and auditory narrative,and analyzed how the film reconstructed Briony’s "ubiquitous" narrative voice in the novel through auditory focus and the different treatment of the film and the novel in the end of the meta narrative.The change of the film at the end highlighted the characteristics of the medium.The fourth chapter,starting from the comparison of the trauma narrative of the novel and the film,analyzes how the film Enduring Love uses the theme voice to express the traumatic experience of the protagonist.The film uses the voice in the auditory narrative level to reconstruct the entanglement of trauma memory to the character in a non-narrative way.The fifth chapter summarizes Mc Ewan’s attitude to the film adaptation,discusses Mc Ewan’s cross-media narrative view,and summarizes the creative characteristics and enlightenment of Mc Ewan’s novel adaptation. |
