Abstract

The core of epic film lies in telling a good story on the screen, in order to achieve this purpose, epic films are taken from history and claimed to be faithful to history, but these are not historical reality, and can only be called image reality. Based on this effect, the core of the story to be told in epic film is hidden behind the screen, and it is for the audience to mobilise their own deep psychological structure to reconstruct this again after watching the film, and the charm and vitality of this story is thus reflected.
