Exploring the Awakening of Female Character Consciousness in Film Works from a Male Perspective

Abstract

This study focuses on the individual consciousness awakening of female characters created in film works by male directors and screenwriters. Through this study can discover how women's independent consciousness is reflected in the changing times, what kind of existence the female group has become from a male perspective, and how this existence has changed. This study mainly analyzes female characters in films directed by male directors in the mid to late 20th century, as well as in postmodern parts of China and the United States. From the perspective of character portrayal techniques, character traits, image, and other aspects, conduct a search and reading of relevant literature. Through research, it has been found that the awakening of female characters in film art is a profound cultural phenomenon, which not only reflects the status and rights of women in society but also demonstrates the reaction and driving role of film as an art form in social change. In summary, the awakening of female characters in movies is a constantly evolving and changing process, reflecting society's attitude and progress towards gender equality, and providing unlimited possibilities and challenges for the development of female characters in future film works.
