马背民族的英雄史诗——评塞夫、麦丽丝的电影创作

A HEROIC EPIC OF THE NATIONALITY ON HORSEBACK

我区著名蒙古族夫妇导演塞夫、麦丽丝于９０年代创作的几部反映蒙古族题材的影片越来越受到世人的瞩目。从《骑士风云》、《东归英雄传》到《悲情布鲁克》、《一代天骄成吉思汗》，他们深情地歌咏着蒙古民族一部部悲壮的历史史诗，并以顶天立地的英雄、浩浩荡荡的马群和辽阔无垠的草原构筑起一个完整的影像序列，同时在叙事策略上又将民族电影与类型电影加以巧妙的融合。这一切不仅使他们的作品呈现出浓郁的民族特色，而且也在艺术作品教化性与娱乐性的统一上，为我们提供了一个良好的范式。

Saifu and Malis , a Mongolian couple and famous directors in Inner Mongolia, have preoduced several films about the Mongols in the 1990s which have attracted increasing attention. In all these films - the Winds of the Knight , Heroes Return to the East, The Tragic Song of the Bruks and GinghisKhan - the Proud Son of Heaven of a Day, the directors chant one epic after another of the Mongolian people, and construct a series of integrated film images with dauntless heroes, enormous and powerful herds of horses and vast expanse of grasslands. In techniques they ingeniously integrate national film with typological film.On account of all these, their films are not only characterized with strong national features , but set a good example as well in combining instruction with entertaiment in artistic works.
