构建人性的神话——试论他者视角下二战题材电影《南京! 南京!》和《硫磺岛家书》

Constructing Myths of Human Nature——Study from Perspective of Others on Films that are Relating to the World War Ⅱ:The City of Life and Death and Letters from Iwo Jima

《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。

Both The City of Life and Death and Letters from lwo Jima had constructed myths of human nature from the perspective of others. While the perspective of others in The City of Life and Death is a bold attempt of communication between value concept of Chinese films and that of the World in the tide of internationalization, the perspective of others is directly originated from the outlook of human nature of the American mainstream ideology in Letters from lwo Jima. The universal outlook of human nature neglected particular human nature in specific historical and cultural environment, evaded interpretation to the heavy real history and caused misreading in the Japanese culture.
