Based on the post-modernism theory, this thesis makes an in-depth analysis and interpretation of the movie Journey to the West. Through the analysis of the narrative structure, role shaping, cultural symbols and other aspects of the film, the uniqueness of the film from the perspective of post-modernism is revealed [1]. The paper adopts a variety of research methods, including literature research, investigation, observation, etc., to ensure the comprehensiveness and depth of the research. The research results show that A Chinese Odyssey to the West presents complex and diverse cultural connotations from the perspective of postmodernism, profoundly reflecting the changes and challenges of contemporary social culture.
