Abstract

Violence aesthetics in films is the integration of violence and film art, and beautification of violence images is an important means of designing films with violence aesthetics. Films with violence aesthetics provide the audience with a way to appreciate the beauty of violence, which is sought after by a large number of audiences in China and abroad. Meanwhile, it also arouses scholars’ thinking on the negative effects. That is, as a kind of violent media, audiences’ long-term or short-term exposure to a large amount of violent contents in films will increase the probability of committing aggressive behaviors and cause social problems. By analyzing and comparing the compatibility between the characteristics and functions of martial arts elements in Chinese films with violence aesthetics and the information ethicalization theory, this paper utilizes the ethicalized characteristics of martial arts elements to add them to the design of violence scenes in such films. It is hoped that the negative impact of films with violence aesthetics on the audience’s psychology can be reduced appropriately, so as to provide reference for the design of violence scenes in these films in the future.
