Abstract:

 Domestic comedy film is an import film genre, which can be researched in the following two perspectives. Firstly, traditional Chinese family values and a series of communitybased values such as friendship, ties among fellow villagers or townsmen and feelings for the nation derived and developed from family values are discussed from three aspects: sticking to tradition, modern impact and familytostate imagination. The family and community elements have become the most active and central story contents in Chinese comedy films over the past decade. Secondly, the family and community elements are homogeneously applied in domestic comedy films by filmmakers, seeming to hide their innermost desires and motives. “Pandorization of first love” and “bilateral fetters between father and son” are two common symptoms of the concealment.
