Abstract: Based on the theoretical framework of Saussurean semiotics, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the film Knives Out, exploring the narrative functions and social critical significance of the sign system in the movie. Adopting the signifier/signified analytical model and combining the theories of syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations, the study systematically expounds how the film constructs suspense effects through sign encoding. The research finds that the director skillfully employs the symbolic significance of visual signs in the family power struggle, thus forming a profound critique of the social power structure.
