Abstract

With the rapid development of the world economy, culture is increasingly globalized. Movies attract more and more attentions as an important cultural communication and output device.This brings opportunities for film and television practitioners, but also brings more challenges. The audiences in the global vision are not satisfied with the monotonous routine of the port, so it is the general trend that themes and creative techniques break through the shackles and limitations of urban culture, which is better illustrated by the prevailing remake of transnational films and frequent borrowing of cross-ethnic themes. Although the trend of the story is basically the same, it is not as simple as the “fetch doctrine”. Diving into various topics and adapting to cultural differences encourage movie makers to improve themselves.Therefore, analyzing and understanding the influence of urban culture on film creation and drawing on the techniques and experience of film and television creation of various countries can help film and television practitioners in the new era to better adapt to local conditions and create different themes and styles of film and television works. This article compares and analyzes two films from China and the United States, “Infernal Affairs” and “The Departed”, to explore the creative characteristics and effects of different cultures as well as the impact of urban culture on graduation project “Trust”, and use for reference and integration in creative techniques.
