| dc.description.other-abstract | The research aims to 1) study the narrative theme of Ming - liang Tsai’s movies and 2) investigate the movie language employed in Ming - liang Tsai’s movies. This study adopts a qualitative approach using textual analysis to study 6 Ming - liang Tsai’s movies. The selected films include 1) What Time Is It There, 2) Goodbye Dragon Inn, 3) The Wayward Cloud, 4) I Don’t Want to Sleep Alone, 5) Stray Dogs, and 6) Days. In terms of the narrative themes in Ming Liang Tsai’s movies, the results indicate a predominant focus on nostalgia, loneliness, desire, and living predicaments. Regarding the theme of nostalgia, the films incorporate previous movie plots, actors, or setting scenes, creating a poignant reminiscence of past eras. For the theme of loneliness, the minimal dialogue between characters reflects the solitude they experience, while their appetites and sexual desires manifest through the characters' unconventional behavior. Lastly, the theme of living predicaments showed the harm inflicted upon marginal characters by factors such as occupation, society, family, and natural disasters, portraying Tsai's compassionate humanistic perspective. Regarding the movie language employed in Ming - liang Tsai’s films, the findings reveal that 1) Ming - liang Tsai incorporates a significant number of classic old songs into his movies, not only to convey the characters' emotions but also to enhance the overall cinematic experience; 2) Ming - liang Tsai employs a closed space composition, utilizing the 'Back' character composition and frame com position to create a somber and subdued narrative style; 3) Ming liang Tsai utilizes single shots, capturing the characters’ surroundings and externalizing their emotions, adding authenticity to the narrative; 4) Various metaphorical symbols play a crucial role in expressing the director’s ideas, adding depth and complexity to the films | en_US |
