Abstract
The film Rebirth, starring Eric Chang and Ruan Jingtian, tells the story of two people with very different personalities who meet for the same purpose of revenge and desire to seek redemption in that revenge. This paper will analyze the film 'Rebirth', examining the impact and costs of revenge on the individual involved and those potentially affected, as well as delving into the concept of redemption between individuals and the intricacies of human nature as depicted in the film. This paper will study the psychological impact of revenge on the characters and the moral dilemma from a psychological perspective; then analyze it from a socio-cultural perspective, exploring the diversity of the expression of the theme of revenge in different cultures; and finally analyze the visual language of the film, analyzing the portrayal of each character as well as the transformation of each scene at the moment of revenge through the study of the film's plot. This paper will combine the above factors to analyze the ending and cost of‘revenge’, conclude that the cost of revenge is multi-dimensional, mixed with the complexity of human nature, and reflect on the social phenomenon with the content of the film so as to provoke more thoughts.
