Abstract: In the process of film and television creation, space is not only the physicalbackground for the development of the narrative but also a narrative subject. It conveys keyinformation of the film and promotes the plot development through physical space narrative,social space narrative, and spiritual space narrative, etc., and subtly influences the behaviorallogic and psychological state of the characters in the film. This dynamic interweavingrelationship between space and narrative provides an important perspective and theoreticaldimension for scholars to analyze contemporary films. The space in the film "Song of WildFruits" is not merely a simple setting of scenes, but rather a tense dialogue and agile thinkinglogic among the narrative function of physical space, the construction function of social space,and the expression function of spiritual space. The male protagonist is constantly influenced anddisciplined by space when facing the choice between "staying behind and drifting".This articleanalyzes the protagonist Chen Yu's choice and spiritual breakthrough based on the theory ofspatial narrative, and explores the issue of people's choice between modern civilization and rural civilization.
