ABSTRACT

Structuralism is a theory to research questions, it supposes that every subject or thing has an internal system, which is a whole composed of various elements of the thing in accordance with certain laws. It advocates observing and grasping things from the whole, and also the connection of various elements constituting the whole. From the perspective of structuralism, this paper starts from Umberto Eco's design of 'narrative machine', which includes the concept of 'dualistic opposites' and 'pre-planned sequence of actions'. Then it draws on the ideas of other cultural scholars, such as Denning, Bennett and Woollacott, so as to analysis Casino Royale, and find out the impact of current social culture and ideology on this typical traditional cultural symbol. Meanwhile, by analyzing the invariability and changes in this film, this paper tries to contribute a better and richer view and deepen the audiences' understanding on this issue.
