Subtitle Translation Strategies in Multimodal Discourse Analysis: Love Letter Film Case Study

The present era is witnessing a flourishing diversity in artistic and entertainment endeavors, facilitated by technological advancements. Films combine visuals, music, and dialogue into a unified whole, and the importance of subtitle translation is also highlighted when watching foreign films. Currently, there are various approaches to the analysis and research of subtitle translation in films, among which the research method of multimodal discourse analysis is widely applied. Taking the classic Asian film Love Letter as an example, this paper analyzes and researches the strategies of subtitle translation in films from four perspectives: culture, context, content, and expression. By examining specific instances of subtitle translation in films, effective translation strategies can be derived, facilitating the conveyance of film content and emotional expression. This aids Chinese audiences in experiencing exotic cultural nuances.
