轻笺薄纸间窥一代名伶——浅析《梅兰芳》中“纸”的意象

Analysis on the Imagery of Paper in the Movie Forever Enthralled——Analysis of “Mei Lanfang” in the “paper” image

陈凯歌2008电影《梅兰芳》用诗化气韵讲述了京剧大师梅兰芳的传奇一生。影片中多次出现"纸"的意象(包括信笺、纸枷锁、契约、纸燕等),而这些意象将梅的一生串联起来,点染出其生活中的悲欣哀悦,继而凸显出梅兰芳惊世骇俗的孤清性情。本文将结合符号学的研究方法对电影文本进行解读。

The movie Forever Enthralled directed by Chen Kaige in 2008 depicts the legendary life of Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang. The imagery of ＂Paper＂ （including stationery, paper-made shackles, paper contract and paper-made swallow） appears many times in the movie. These images are the traces of his whole life and show his sorrow and happiness and then highlight his exclusive character. This paper interprets the film in the semiotics way.
