电影中的交通影像:中国现代空间的视觉重塑

The Image of Transportation in Movies: The Reconstruction of Modern Chinese Visual Space

本文以现代中国电影中的现代交通影像为切入点,围绕现代交通工具的出现所引发的剧烈的社会变革,以《都市风光》、《新女性》、《八千里路云和月》、《小城之春》等作品为主要分析对象,着力分析了作为现代中国社会的重要生产力形式的现代交通,在现代中国电影中不只是普通的电影道具,蕴涵着特定的现代美学意味,而且还被赋予了强烈的社会和文化内涵。现代交通给现代中国社会所带来的变化,重新构造了现代中国的社会空间,对这一空间的视觉重塑,无疑具有独特的现代性的视野和价值。

This paper takes the image of modern transportation in Chinese films as case studies to look into the dramatic social changes brought about with the introduction and development of modern transportation tools.It analyzes such texts as The Metropolitan Scenes,New Women,The Cloud and the Moon,and Spring in a Small Town.The author believes that modern transportation as an important form of productive forces in modern China are only ordinary props that are used in movies but the codes with multiple social,cultural and aesthetic implications.The changes that modern transportation tools have brought to the modern Chinese society have reconstructed the social space of modern China,and therefore,the visual reconstruction of this space will no doubt bring a new vision and new values to modernity.
