本文对改革开放以来我国电影创作中的工人形象展开研究。对“工人”概念的界定在电影中始终相对笼统和模糊，本文研究的对象为随着时代发展而不断更新的工人范畴，包括传统的产业工人以及具有明显工人身份特征的知识分子、农民工等，从而对工人题材相关的电影作品，以及非工业题材但涉及工人形象塑造的不同时期的电影作品进行分析，以客观的视角探索不同时期、不同风格的工人形象的特征与其背后的历史背景。正如福柯所言，最重要的是“讲述话语的年代”，电影艺术本身呈现出的创作样貌与时代紧密相关，有着反映时代的迫切性与敏感性。改革开放作为国家发展历程中的重要转折点，让社会风貌和人民生活都逐渐发生了巨大改变，而在这变化之中探求电影艺术中所创作的工人形象的相应转变，也是探寻现实生活中工人地位及境况变迁的一种方式。

在中国，工人这一群体最先承担着改革开放的建设使命，又首当其冲地在国家产业结构改组、就业境况改变时最先做出牺牲直面风险，他们是国家发展的建设者和奉献者。第一章主要从历时性梳理角度，将不同时期的工人形象塑造与时代背景相联结，阐述在国家不同的发展阶段与颁布政策的影响之下，电影创作中工人形象的变化与特征。第二章、第三章则对工人形象塑造展开具体的类别划分与分析。因电影中的工人形象创作虽有明显的时代印记和流变趋势，但是若完全按照历时性分析则有着过于武断的风险，不同特征的工人形象虽然在某一历史时期会较为集中，但这种集中在后续的创作中也并非完全断代，譬如“奉献者”的工人形象在当下的主流创作中也依然有之。因此，本文将具体的工人形象类别划分为主流和边缘的两大类，也恰好呼应了现实工人地位的转变和滑落，再以这两大类别为基础进行细分，力求涵盖改革开放以来电影创作中较为全面的不同特征的工人形象。第四章以电影语言分析为主。用对比的视角对改革开放后，电影中经历了前后转折的工人形象展开具体的视听分析，分别从人物的外形塑造、人物所处的环境塑造和电影的创作风格塑造等方面展开论述。

在结语部分，除了归纳文章的研究脉络与研究成果，还对改革开放以来不同时期电影创作中所塑造的工人形象的局限性进行了探讨。整体而言，本文在进行人物形象分析时，结合了大量不同时期的与工人相关的电影作品案例为依据，同时也兼具历时性、共时性的构思，力求较为全面地涵盖改革开放以来电影中的工人形象塑造的特征与变化。

This article studies the image of workers in Chinese film creation since reform and opening. The definition of the concept of "worker" is always relatively general and vague in the film. The object of this paper is to study the category of workers which is constantly updated with the development of The Times, including traditional industrial workers, intellectuals and migrant workers with obvious characteristics of worker identity. This paper analyzes the film works related to the theme of workers and the film works related to the image of workers in different periods and non-industrial themes, and explores the characteristics of the images of workers in different periods and styles and their historical background from an objective perspective. As Foucault said, the most important thing is "the age of telling the discourse". The creative appearance presented by the film art itself is closely related to The Times, and has the urgency and sensitivity to reflect The Times. As an important turning point in the course of national development, the reform and opening up have gradually brought about great changes in the social landscape and people's lives. In the midst of these changes, exploring the corresponding changes in the images of workers created in film art is also a way to explore the changes in the status and situation of workers in real life.

In China, workers are the first group to undertake the construction mission of reform and opening up, and the first to make sacrifices and face risks when the national industrial structure is restructed and the employment situation is changed. They are the builders and devotees of national development. The first chapter, from the perspective of diachronic analysis, connects the image building of workers in different periods with the background of The Times, and expounds the changes and characteristics of the image of workers in film creation under the influence of different development stages and promulgated policies of the country. Chapter two and chapter three carry out specific classification and analysis of the image building of workers. Although the image creation of workers in the film has obvious marks of The Times and changing trends, it is risky to be too arbitrary if the analysis is completely based on diachronic analysis. Although the image of workers with different characteristics will be more concentrated in a certain historical period, this concentration is not completely dating in subsequent creations. For example, the image of workers of "devotees" still exists in the mainstream creations at present. Therefore, this paper divides the specific categories of worker images into mainstream and marginal categories, which exactly echoes the change and decline of the status of real workers. Based on these two categories, the paper subdivides them, and strives to cover more comprehensive worker images with different characteristics in film creation since the reform and opening up. Chapter four focuses on the analysis of film language. From the perspective of contrast, this paper makes a detailed audio-visual analysis of the workers' images after the reform and opening up, and discusses the shape of the characters, the environment in which the characters live and the creation style of the films.

In the conclusion part, in addition to summarizing the research context and research results of the article, it also discusses the limitations of workers' images in different periods of film creation since the reform and opening up. On the whole, this paper combines a large number of worker-related film cases in different periods as the basis for character image analysis, and also combines the concept of diachronic and synchronal, and strives to comprehensively cover the characteristics and changes of worker image shaping in films since the reform and opening up.
