数字技术对电影美学的冲击及辨析

Dialectic Thinking upon the Impact of Digital Technology upon Film Aesthetics

数字技术给电影的真实观、语言和叙事方式及观看方式都带来了革命性影响,但同时应该充分认识到:电影技术的革命不等于电影美学的革命,它并未动摇电影的艺术本性,也未动摇电影美学的根基;数字技术所制造的"数字影像奇观"不是电影的艺术本性,奇观只是一种电影表达的形式,它虽然可以给我们出乎意料的视听享受,但它永远不可能代替形式中的"意味",也就永远不能成为电影艺术本身;数字新媒体技术不能动摇中国电影美学传统,无论是从中国传统观念和观众的欣赏趣味来看,数字奇观化电影既与中国文化现实相隔膜,更不能成为中国电影的主要形态乃至追寻目标。

Digital technology brings a revolutionary transformation to film in vision, language, narrative way and film -going way. However, we should recognize that film technology revolution does not mean film aesthetics revolution. It never shakes the artistic nature and aesthetics of film. Although marvelous spectacle could amaze viewers, however, it could never take the place of profound meaning of film. Therefore, marvelous spectacle eould never become film itself. Digital medium technology could not shake the traditional Chinese film aesthetics. Marvelous spectacle created with digital technology would not be the ultimate aim of Chinese film.
