Abstract

The vigorous aesthetic color of death makes the Japanese films unique in the field of film in Asia or even in the world.Reflection and narration of death are not only the choice of traditional thinking and aesthetic tendencies,but also highlights the Japanese rational reflection and philosophical speculation.As cultural products based on audio-visual arts,TV series are greatly influenced by films in the selection of content or in narration.After sorting out the death themes in the Japanese TV dramas,we found how death came into the narrative space of life,how it became the narrating means of expressing the contemporary's survival status and their emotion world,showing the unique narrative approach and aesthetic style.
