Abstract
In the face of the development of new media and the awakening of the audience's awareness of mass art participation, mainstream films with family ethics as the core must seek new ways to tell stories, and renew the narrative mode of cult films, as the genre form of the film at the beginning of its birth, provide comfort to countless audiences who are shackled by the mainstream context and have no place to vent their emotions. The combination of the two has burst into a new audio-visual language and narrative style, which has become the navigation for the new generation of directors to break through the minority and gain mainstream recognition. Through the analysis of the works of director Julia Ducournau, "Eat Raw" and "Titanium", it is demonstrated that evil code movies may have become a film element combined with the mainstream family ethics to form a positive output and expression form.
