영화 <에브리씽 에브리웨어 올 앳 원스>의 트랜스 아이덴티티 스토리텔링 분석

Abstract

The movie <Everything Everywhere All At Once> (2022) is a film that provides insight into the era of multiple identities. This study focused on the aspect that as the film's narrative progresses around the character Evelyn, the change in the character's identity becomes a key driving force driving the film. The characters and storytelling strategies of <EEAAO> were analyzed based on the theory of ‘trans identity storytelling’, which can analyze the entire narrative of a movie focusing on the identity of the character. As a result, the keyword trans identity served as a key tool in driving the external and internal story of this film. The protagonist confronts and defeats enemies by traversing and transcending identity, but from a trans identity storytelling perspective, this can also be seen as a process of exploring one's inner identity. Additionally, the film sets up one or more characters around the protagonist to have their identities reversed, ultimately creating an environment that helps the protagonist's identity to be reversed. In addition, the film has a very complex setting because multiple characters unfold multiple identities and the background is a multiple universe, but it was confirmed that the traditional narrative structure was used to maintain the center. Additionally, at a turning point in the narrative structure, the protagonist's multiverse identity plot appeared to form an identity web.
