摘要
电影，作为一种艺术表现形式，有一百多年历史。随着电影产业的蓬勃发展，电影已经被认为是文化现象的一个重要表现形式之一。电影作为一种大众主流文化,其内在的消费性、娱乐性、商业性等特质决定了其表现手法更趋于写实性，更能反映一个国家或民族的文化及其内涵。“社会与文化作用并制约着电影，他们永远是电影取之不尽、用之不竭的源泉。电影虽然也在不同程度上作用着社会文化，但电影更多时候是对社会文化中各种现象的展示。”
本文认为，英语论文范文，美国作为电影产业大国，英语毕业论文，其创作的电影必定会向观众宣扬一种文化理念。笔者选用老少皆宜的动画电影《疯狂原始人》，用文化维度理论——跨文化理论中最重要的理论，略论故事情节、人物形象等电影要素，归纳总结出这个非常典型的轻松幽默的美式电影想要传达的文化信息，帮助我们更好地汲取积极的文化理念，同时更好地理解电影与文化的联系。
