電影《大地》是由美國二十世紀作家賽珍珠同名小說改編而成，劇中女主角歐蘭外柔內剛，逆來順受，寬容堅忍的母性形象尤為深植人心，其偉大人格有如土地一般，外表雖看似卑微然而卻包容、負載、滋養一切生命。本論文旨在探討此部電影作品如何透過人物與風景的對應關係，巧妙的暗示人物之偉大人格。

Directed by Sidney Franklin, The Good Earth is a 1937 American drama film based on the 1931 novel of the same name by Nobel Prize-winning author Pearl S. Buck. In this film, of all the characters, the audience sees a strong female figure O-Lan. Through her, both the author and the director show their essential admiration of the Chinese peasant with his (her) virtues. Throughout the movie, the audience sees a woman so humble, so full of endurance, tolerance and regenerative power as the very earth under our feet that, though trampled upon, yet is still productive and full of life, endowing the world with the power to last forever. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the protagonist O-Lan to see her greatness of character and see how the author, through the parallel structure of the movie, endows O-Lan as being great as the very earth which contains and nourishes the world.
