What kind of movie is a narrative movie? The more detailed, the better.

Narration: The simplest meaning is the description of the story, but it has become an important concept in the field of literature and semiotics, with its specific significance. Narratology, a subject devoted to discussing narrative-related issues, has been exhibited.

So the literal meaning of narrative film is a film that tells a complete story.

But there are no narrative films in the real film classification.

The narrative structure of movies also has multiple levels (three levels): the first level refers to organizational relations and expressions, which can be called text structure or overall structure. Equivalent to the montage structure, it is the overall structure of the film, including "the potential structure, planning, design, comparison and the overall feeling of the form and content as a result" (in the words of Sa Thomas). Narrative structure is the skeleton and backbone of film life, which is characterized by its appearance and style. The second level refers to the organizational relationship of the overall film system, such as the genre film structure model, which is above the overall structure; The third level is under the overall structure, that is, the combination of various elements in the film, such as the combination of plot, picture and clip.

The "unstructured" created by the new wave is actually a more hidden, free and loose structure. Structure is not an intuitive object, so it is difficult for the general audience to analyze it. This is the significance of analyzing the film narrative structure model. Through the analysis of structural mode, it is easy to grasp the general rules and innovative ways of film narrative composition, so that creators and audiences can follow rules and guidelines when structuring and interpreting this article. Structure is just a form. Although it is very important, it cannot be separated from the content, so the analysis of structural mode cannot be separated from the understanding of the content.

(1), omniscient and omnipotent narrative (third person). Todorov is called "narrator > character" and Genette is called "zero focus". The narrator is Almighty God, and most movies adopt this perspective, such as Casablanca. Traditional movies prefer this kind.

(2) Limited narration (first person). Todorov called it "narrator = character" and Genette called it "internal focus", such as Old Things in the South of the City, Butterfly Dream (with the same narrative perspective) and Citizen Kane (with the changed narrative perspective). Modernist movies prefer this kind.

(3) Pure objective narrative (third person or nobody). Todorov called it "the narrator.
