Research on the Construction of Female Characters in Realistic Films: Path, Method and Classification

Abstract

The dominance of consumer ideology and the prejudices of the patriarchal discourse system have kept women in a "low-dimensional prison" where they have been stared at for a long time. Since the growth of "her power", more and more public spheres are showing female consciousness and female discourse. The portrayal of women's roles and the construction of meaning in realist films express the "absence" and "resistance" of women's image in contemporary society. The young girls who want to break out of their cages, the mothers who are burdened by their families, and the women of the underclass who have a dual nature are the objects of their expression. "The absence of the family", the growth of the self and the "motherly nature" are the deep-seated "references" to which the female characters are trapped in the "prison".
