Abstract

The Hong Kong film "Project Gutenberg" has obtained the great achievements at the box office and public reputation due to such multiple factors as realistic counterfeit banknote production process, breathtaking gunfight scenes, brain-burning plot, unexpected reversal ending, personal charm of Chow Yun-Fat and so on. In terms of film narrative, the director utilized the narrator, Li Wen, to guide the police and audience in the limited angle of perspective into the scheme, and make the symbolic meaning image of the actor Chow Yun-Fat stengthen the audience's confirmation for the imagination of "painter", with the introduction of multiple narratives and flashback of different characters and scenes, and then finally, used the narrative structure with multiple lines and layers to uncover the truth. There are three great reversals in the film, each of which is overthrow for the film plot, and every overthrow is a disavowal of the audience's cognition for the previous story; therefore it brings the greatly emotional tension, making the audience get complete release and relief in the process of the psychological game of cognition, identification and decision-making at the end.

홍콩영화<무쌍>은 위조지폐 제작과정, 스릴있는 총격전, 폭파장면을 기반으로 한 복잡한 스토리 전개와 예상 밖의 반전 결말, 그리고 월드스타 주윤발의 개성 등 다양한 요소로 영화 흥행에 성공시켰다. 영화의 전개과정에서, 감독은 사건의 전개자인 이문을 이용해 시각을 한정시켜 경찰과 관중을 속임수에 빠지도록 이끌었고, 배우 주윤발의 상징성을 통해 관객들에게 "화가"로서의 이미지를 부각시켰으며, 각기 다른 인물과 장소의 복합적인 서술과 플래시백을 도입함으로써 복선층의 전개구조로 진상을 층층이 밝혀내었다. 영화에서 3번의 대반전이 나타나는데, 반전 때마다 영화의 전개가 완전히 뒤집혔고, 또 뒤집힌 전개가 앞 스토리와 어떠한 관련이 있는지 관객이 알아채지 못하도록 하였다. 이 때문에 충만한 긴장감을 불러일으켜 관객들로 하여금 공감대를 형성하였고, 진실을 가려내는 심리게임 과정을 통해 완벽한 해방감과 해탈감을 느끼도록 하였다.
