A configuração da narrativa fílmica e a produção de sentido: uma proposta de análise em Dunkirk (2017)

Abstract

The movie industry is, besides entertainment, a producer of meaning, ideas and sensations, becoming a complex language in the eyes of the viewer. This monographic work aims to investigate the configuration of film narrative and the production of meaning in the movie Dunkirk (2017), written and directed by Christopher Nolan, through the semiotic matrix developed by Peirce (2003) and the concepts of Alberto Manguel (2000), about reading and interpreting images. Our analytical course is based on Diana Rose`s (2002) methodology, on the analysis of moving images, as well as Sara Feitosas`s (2016) methodology, with its typology of technical images in controlled fiction. In order to systematize our work in stages in expository and objective manner, we divided the course into units of analysis, verbal language (dialogues) and nonverbal language (sound and visual). In the middle of the established route, we had the opportunity to identify, in detail, representative visual and sound elements adduced in the film and their traces in the suggestion of possible readings of the narrative. Consequently, after performing the analysis, we realized how verbal and nonverbal languages configure the filmic narrative in Dunkirk (2017).
