Character Analysis of Absurd Comedy Films from a Deconstructionist Perspective: A Study on Crazy Stone, Crazy Racer, and Crazy Alien

The "Crazy Trilogy" is a series of films directed by Ning Hao, with each film focusing on jade, racing, and aliens as its narrative core. The protagonists in these films each possess distinct characteristics. By employing deconstruction theory, this paper deconstructs these characters to reveal the underlying social traits, specifically the situation of marginalized individuals within the broader social context. The study finds that the application of multi-linear narrative theory establishes a continuity and connection in the narrative structures of these three films. In addition to depicting urban marginalized characters, the director incorporates humanistic care and social expectations.
