《青春》:两个时代的美学边界

Youth,as the Aesthetical Boundary between Two Eras

《青春》独特的历史价值在于,从影片中一方面可以看到"文革"话语的延续,另一方面又能发现一种新的时代精神和美学风尚的暗自滋长。它是两个时代、两种观念、两种政治与美学力量此消彼长、相互叠加与博弈的产物,是一座连接历史裂缝的浮桥。从中不难看出,当时的电影创作是如何一步一步摆脱"文革"禁锢,逐渐孕育、塑造了"新时期"电影美学新的品格的。

The unique historical value of Youth is a mixture of new and old times. The trace of Cultural Revolutionary discourse is obvious in the movie, and the new lime spirit and aesthetical custom are growing secretly. Same as a float bridge crossing over the historical fissure, the movie was a product between two eras, two ideas, and two political and aesthetical strengths, which were reciprocal, overlapping and game playing each other. It is easy to find out how the cinematic creation broke away from the detainment by the Cultural Revolution at that time and how the new cinematic aesthetical style was nurtured and made in the ＂New Times＂.
