镜像迷恋与纪实寻求——论新生代导演的两类文本

Infatuated with Mirror Image and Seeking for the Records of Actual Events: On Two Kinds of Texts of New-generation Directors

发轫于20世纪90年代初的新生代导演的创作走到21世纪的今天,渐渐凸现出两种风格、两类文本,这就是音乐情绪片和纪实片。情绪化的影片人物,“碎片”式生活幻影,拼盘式的镜像语言,MTV式的镜头快接方式,摄影镜头的激情晃甩,大段大段摇滚音乐演唱……充盈的“音乐情绪”弥漫在新生代早期的创作之中,颇具叛逆精神的摇滚乐似乎成为初期新生代群体作品的一致商标。这种音乐情绪依旧投射在进入21世纪的新生代作品中。而关注中国底层社会人生“当下处境”的纪实电影却成为21世纪新生代创作的主潮,成为新生代作品另一类文本。

At present the creations of the new-generation directors, which began from the early 1990s, have presented two kinds of styles and texts： music emotion and records of actual events. The former is characterized by emotional movie characters, ＂fragmented＂ illusion of life, assorted language of mirror image, movie scene in MTV style and a large amount of rock and roll background music. The early creations of the new-generation directors were filled with the music emotions; rock and roll seemed to become their common mark. The music emotion can still be found in the movies of new-generation directors in the 21st century. The latter, which concerns itself with the life of grass-roots in China, has become the mainstream of the new-generation directors＂ creations.
