A Comparative View of Stage Action and Movie Action

Abstract

Dramatic actions are the foundation of performing arts. Whether on the stage or in a movie, only through the expressive actions of the actors can the characters of the playwright be transformed into vivid images. Although both stage actions and movie actions are dramatic, they are different in terms of content, form, and quality. This article discusses the differences between actors' actions on stage and in movies from three aspects: the integrity and fragmentation of the performance content, the singleness and diversification of the form, and the hypothesis and the sense of the reality of the quality.
