What is the origin of time travel drama?
Compared with other types of literature and art, film and television art is always paid special attention by postmodern theory, and time-travel drama, as a new type of film and television, is the product of this trend of thought. The most prominent theoretical feature of postmodernism is rebellion and deconstruction, that is, to doubt, criticize, subvert and dispel all kinds of authoritative traditional concepts, theoretical paradigms, principles and norms that have been formed, and to deny the value of truth and progress. These are precisely related to the spiritual essence of time-travel drama. Time-travel drama can travel through time and space, which is obviously contrary to common sense. The appearance and rapid development of this kind of film and television drama that goes against the facts and common sense is inseparable from the spiritual influence of postmodernism on society. Baudrillard, a post-modernist scholar, pointed out: "Today, truth and imagination are confused in the same operation as a whole, and aesthetic charm is everywhere ... Truth is completely full of aesthetics that cannot be separated from its own results, and it is really confused by its own image", "All solid things have vanished" and "We live in the light and shadow of the mirror and encounter a dream world that we can't wake up". In contrast, this seems to point out the crux of crossing the big screen of drama: images connect the other side of dreams with the present time and space, so that all kinds of real reality and beautiful fantasies can be combined against facts or scientific principles to enhance the aesthetic pleasure of the audience.
Lyotard, a French post-modern philosopher, believes that the invention of industrial technology and artistic means such as photography and film challenges traditional art. He said: "The essence of this challenge lies in the fact that photography and photography can better and faster complete the realistic tasks entrusted by institutionalism, and at the same time, its communication effect is100000 times higher than narrative or painting realism." In Discourse Graphics, he tries to break the abstract theoretical discourse with image discourse, and thinks that images or images have a central position in post-modern culture. Baudrillard, another French theorist, devoted a lot of time and energy to the study of parody, that is, the image produced by simulation, a new symbol pattern under post-modern conditions. He believes that in the post-modern communication society established through the media, the image communication formed by the generalization of film montage has largely replaced face-to-face oral communication and written communication with printed materials as the media, and has become a unique language symbol system of post-modernism. Jameson, an American postmodern theorist, believes that from the perspective of "the cultural logic of late capitalism (transnational capitalism)", film and television culture occupies a prominent leading position in postmodern society, which is both logical and practical. Under the post-modern conditions, commodity consumption runs through all concrete processes in all fields of society. Therefore, culture and art are closely combined with industrial production and commodity consumption, making artistic creation and appreciation a kind of "reproduction" production and popular commercial consumption. In the traditional sense, the distance and boundary between elegant culture and popular culture, pure art and practical art are dying out. The direct, simple, flat and random patchwork of image symbols is also the essential feature of post-modern culture.
Movie fever
Time-travel drama can connect and wander between history and reality at will, and such innovative themes can make creators show their talents. The staggered time and space, the collision and friction of ancient and modern wisdom, give the creator enough operating space. Nevertheless, these time-travel dramas are still considered by some experts to be too superficial, not compact enough in structure and not rigorous in interpretation of history. Dr. Du Yingjie from China Communication University said: "The' history' in travel notes is more entertaining, and it is of little value to analyze it with historical truth." In addition, the similarity in story and artistic expression of time-travel drama is another important reason why it has been criticized. "If the cross-over drama wants to develop continuously, it must absorb lightning and blindly follow the trend." Du Yingjie said.
