In the process of moving from obscuration to openness,
the concept of the body has evolved
into subdivided fields such as Somaesthetics. In recent years, more film
studies have been shown using Somaesthetics to explore science fiction films, especially Cyberpunk films, which have a
direct impact on the body. However, a systematic presentation of body
aesthetics in Cyberpunk films has yet to be
established. This article discusses the body elements in Cyberpunk films, through Somaesthetics and the political body theories, this paper
studies the Somaesthetics in Cyberpunk films from three aspects: the material body in mainstream aesthetics, the technical body
in the spectacular landscape, as well
as the cultural body within the meaning system. The paper demonstrates
how these films explore the tension between technological progress and embodied experience. Specifically, when adapting to
the rapid development of technology
and culture, humans should maintain attention on the human body, otherwise, they will fall into the myth of high-tech but low life.
