摘要

Abstract

This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the problems of cultural context rupture and the lack of emotional and cultural identity in

Big Fish & Begonia

with a view to providing useful references for the creation of domestic animated films. Through a detailed textual analysis of the film combined with relevant theories

the study finds that although

Big Fish & Begonia

is rich in traditional cultural elements

these elements mostly stay on the surface and are not organically integrated with the story

resulting in cultural context rupture. Meanwhile

problems exist in aspects such as character image shaping

plot setting and emotional expression

making it difficult for the audience to resonate emotionally

which in turn affects cultural identity. Based on this

the creation of domestic animated films should balance tradition and modernity

focus on emotional and cultural expression

and enhance the ability of cultural context construction

so as to create excellent works with more cultural heritage and emotional resonance

and promote the development of domestic animated films in inheriting traditional culture and seeking cultural identity.
