China’s cultural heritage saves the world: Narrative functions of Chinese ideology in contemporary Hollywood sci-fi films

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

This paper argues that in the world of post-2016 Hollywood science fiction, China is presented as the savior of the world through the spread of its cultural heritage rather than by applying its advanced technologies. In these global disaster Sci-Fi films, the concepts of filial piety, collectivism, and the Confucius notion of harmony both directly and indirectly guide characters and nations to make world saving decisions.
