摘要

As is known to all, language takes a significant role in communication and understanding. Actually, according to Systemic-Function and visual grammar, a varitey of semiotic resources such as image, color, could be analysed and understood as a language. A movie poster is an example of decoding a complex intergration of a variety of semiotic resources. Through analysing a movie poster, it is clear to see how the realization of the three meta-functions based on Systemic-Function contributes to the overall meaning conveyed by movie posters.
