Espaços imaginários no filme a Dama na Água de M. Night Shyamalan: a narrativa na pós-modernidade

Abstract

The contemporary art say many things about our age, about the way who we experience and understand then. We search in this article to do a interpretation of the imaginary’s spaces and postmodern narrative from the M. Night Shyamalan’s "Lady in the water". The film approach subjects of the resurgence of the myth in the daily, the rising of the imaginary and the fiction function in the reality transformation. The film analysis methodology is used from the image semiotics, the symbolical hermeneutic and phenomenological inputs, above all, finding at G. Bachelard and G. Durand’s texts. In the film, the place have changes from their re-enchantment, with presence of the myth rise and the place change yourself as far as the personages get involved with Story, while acquired a new perspective to look the reality around them. The plot revolve an idea of wakeup, as go beyond, giving back to the life and to the site the dream of a forgotten narrative. With a narrative about a book into the film and a script upon story, the metaficction showing in the film interweaves, along the plot, the filmic and literary narrative, reserving to the critic a decisive role. In this complex atmosphere we search in the "Lady in the Water" traces of our latent post-modernity.
