Study on Image Construction Based on Poetic Audiovisual Language Taking the Film The Grandmaster as an Example

Poetic films center on freehand expression, constructing non-plot narratives by virtue of poetic audiovisual language and interpreting the spiritual and emotional world through a narrative logic that is fragmented in form yet unified in essence.Wong Karwai's film The Grandmaster exhibits a distinct post-modern artistic style, and its image construction constantly navigates between narration and lyricism.On one hand, the film deconstructs traditional time-space consciousness and plot logic in the macro narrative structure; on the other hand, it constructs a poetic aesthetic system by means of micro narrative symbols, among which linguistic symbols, as the core carrier, enhance poetic characteristics through the exquisite design of conceptual metaphors, conversational implicatures and discourse rhythm; ultimately, it shapes a unique poetic style relying on the coordination of narrative rhythm and linguistic rhythm, completing the construction of a "prose-style poetic film".Integrating film semiotics and linguistic theories, this paper deconstructs the generative mechanism of the poetic imagery of The Grandmaster from three dimensions: macro narrative structure, micro linguistic symbol construction, and the coordination of narrative and linguistic rhythms, revealing the core ideational function of linguistic symbols in poetic films.
