Abstract

Space theory is an important concern of Western Neo-Marxism. In works of literature and art, space theory and its framework of interpretation explored the struggles among the various social forces brought together by analyzing the physical space constructed in literary works, and creatively explored the deep meaning of the text. The production of any space is the production and reproduction of social relations. The complexity of spatial issues is manifested through the "spatial matrix" and its connection with society and politics. Film, as a microcosm and sublimation of real life, reflects the conflict of interests and cultural control behind the image spaces. From the perspective of space production, this article analyzes why the theme of "Big Talk on Journey to the West" is gradually deepened under the promotion of space and explores its unique cultural connotation and its root causes. Through analysis, we can see that each space in the movie represents different discourse forces and the producer of space has the ultimate power of control. However, the missing sense of belonging of Hong Kong residents is just the hotbed of fictional space and identity puzzlement represented by the "Journey to the West".
