Postclassical narratology is characterized by and values the integrated development of theoretical schools.The study of the unnaturalness in film narrative,an interface of film narratology and unnatural narratology,constitutes an indispensable sub-strand in the field of postclassical narratology.Therein lie the core issues on the unnatural content and unnatural form of film narrative.The unnaturalness of narrative content is displayed in the world schemas building of impossible story worlds;the unnaturalness of narrative form is related to the disruptions of text schemas and language schemas.Defamiliarized pseudo-linear and anti-linear narrative structures often contribute to the unnaturalness of text schemas,and the unnaturalness of language schemas is often manifested in such unconventional audio-visual interaction modes as audio-visual parallelism and audio-visual opposition.
