멀티버스 서사 구조 연구: 영화 <에브리씽 에브리웨어 올 앳 원스>를 중심으로 = A Study on Multiverse Narrative Structures: Focusing on the Film “Everything Everywhere All at Once”

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study analyzes the film Everything Everywhere All at Once based on Marie-Laure Ryan’s Possible Worlds Theory to systematically investigate the construction of its multiverse narrative structure and the subsequent impact of this structure on the audience’s cognitive pathways and emotional resonance. The film employs a parallel presentation of hybridized circumstances arising from the protagonist’s multiple identity variants and fated outcomes. Utilizing the multiverse concept, the film constructs a framework of “possible worlds” whose juxtaposition manifests the intricate emotional shifts of contemporary individuals navigating family, identity, and conflict. The analysis demonstrates that this structure effectively expands the characters’ psychological space, guiding the audience toward active meaning-making and establishing a profound emotional connection with the text.
