ABSTRACT

Contemporary film narratives present complex narrative tendencies. In the narrative labyrinth full of misleading and fissures, the narrative of puzzles increases the fun and enjoyment of the film and attracts viewers to actively participate in the interpretation of narrative. This kind of puzzle narrative covers art films, independent productions and commercial films, and has evolved into a film phenomenon that cannot be underestimated. Based on the previous studies, this paper sorts out the development of the puzzle narrative, and believes that it absorbs the essence of art film and Hollywood business. Under the change of external cultural context, the puzzle narrative subverts the traditional story with complex stories. The way of psychological understanding represents a completely new experience and identity. Through the analysis of classical texts, this paper analyzes the characteristics of puzzle narrative from the perspectives of film time and space, perspective and narrative structure.
