他者视角下的中美二战题材电影——以《南京!南京!》与《硫磺岛家书》为例

Films of World War II in the Other's Perspective——Taking "The City of Life and Death" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" as Example

《南京!南京!》和《硫磺岛家书》均采用了"他者视角"编织出人性神话。《南京!南京!》中的"他者视角"是国际化浪潮中电影的价值观与世界接轨的大胆尝试,而《硫磺岛家书》则是直接源自美国主流意识形态所倡导的人性观。这种普适性的人性视角忽略了具体历史文化环境中特殊的人性,规避了对沉重的历史真相的阐释,存在对日本文化的误读。

＂The City of Life and Death＂ and ＂Letters from Iwo Jima＂ has constructed myths of human nature in the other＇s perspective. The other＇s perspective in ＂The City of Life and Death＂ is a try that make the value to be in line with the international conventions in the Internationalization tide, while ＂Letters from Iwo Jima＂ directly originates from the humanity outlook of the American mainstream ideology. The universal humanity outlook neglectes the particularity of humanity in specific historical and cultural envirenment,evades expalation to the real history and causes misreading of the Japanese culture.
