《你好,李焕英》:从母爱到个体生命意志的觉醒

Hi,Mom:From Maternal Love to the Awakening of Will-to-live

贾玲编剧、导演、主演的《你好,李焕英》带有强烈的个人印记,却引起了普遍性的共情,也引发了一系列值得深思的问题:这是否会成为电影史上的特殊个案?影片是否宣扬了廉价的成功学?这是一部具有较高艺术价值的作品,还是一部家庭影集和小品集锦?影片直面女性生存境遇,呈现了女性通过创造(而非成功学)来对抗存在、从母爱的消极体验转化为创造爱的积极体验的过程。形式上虽然采取了不少小品桥段,但叙事和结构方式并不是简单的小品集锦。

Written,directed and starred by Jia Ling,Hi Mom has a strong personal imprint,but it evokes universal empathy and raises a series of thoughtful questions:Will Hi,Mom be a special case in the history of cinema?In the author’s opinion,the film,with a rather simple intuition,faces the living situation of women,and presents the process of women confronting existence through creation.It completes a transformation from the negative experience of maternal love to the positive experience of creating love.
