Abstract

The movie Dying to survive has attracted numerous audiences through the construction of the image of the medicine God, which is a Growth Arc and Ordinary Lofty Character, and has created another box office myth after Wolf WarriorsⅡ. In this paper, through text interpretation based on social and psychological theories like psychoanalysis, it is found that the success of the film is prepared in advance. It is an excellent work in which director Wen Muye successfully used the identity psychology to shape the role and narrate the story, and it also contents the gradual, growth and sympathetic molding of the role. And it is the narration of the story in the form of intertextuality and mimicry that ensures the psychological identification and identity of the audience. This thesis uses psychoanalysis, which includes the principles of psychology, sociology, and principle of film and television. Those analyze the use of the identification mechanism of the film text from psychological identity and image recognition, and the generation of audience identity psychology, and explain the film's construction of identity. The specific method provides practical reference and practical direction for the future development of Chinese film industry.
