On Shaping the “Violent Beauty”And the Psychological,Social Receptions

“暴力美学”起源于美国,在香港发展成熟。它是香港电影人对于世界电影语言系统和电影文化发展所做出的重大贡献。暴力美学是一种在纯粹趣味的追求中发展起来的形式体系,它提供给观众的是在道德教化以外的形式感。暴力美学的形式展示中,各种导演的基调有较大差别,有的导演十分成功地在暴力美学的影片中展示温情的人道情感,有的则更钟情于血腥和黑色。这一电影形态在东西方之间的反馈、振荡式的发展、成熟给电影心理学、电影形式美学、电影社会学以及电影人类学提出了新的、颇为复杂的课题。暴力美学的创作和观赏显现的是人类共同的集体无意识。
