戏痴与凡人——《霸王别姬》、《梅兰芳》之比较

A crazy player with an ordinary person——Comparison of Farewell My Concubine and MEI Lan-Fang

陈凯歌导演的《梅兰芳》与《霸王别姬》同样讲述一代京剧名伶的故事,两部影片在角色设置、镜头语言和叙事结构等方面确有其相近相承之处,彼此之间又有着微妙的貌合神离之处,特别是在影片叙述的中心指向上,《梅兰芳》与《霸王别姬》相比发生了一个从"戏痴""凡人"的彻底转变,《霸王别姬》的个性表达也逐渐过渡为《梅兰芳》的大片风味。

Mei Lan - Fang, director Chen Kai - Ge＇s new film also narrates a story about one distinguished Beijing opera player just like his Farewell My Concubine. Mei Lan - Fang is similar with Farewell My Concubine in many aspects, such as role setting, movie language and narrative structure, etc. But The difference between them is extremely distinct either. The Film subject changes from most -devoted to drama to pursing an ordinary life. Moreover Farewell My Concubine＇s individuale expression gradually turns into Mei Lan- Fang＇s big- budget movie style.
