酒神精神与文化反思——电影《红高粱》的再解读

Dionysian Spirit and Cultural Reflection ——A Reinterpretation of The Movie "Red Sorghum"

《红高粱》是大陆第一部获得国际A类电影节金奖的影片,电影表面上弘扬的抗日爱国主义主题,难以掩饰其象征主义的影像风格和处处洋溢的酒神精神气质。影片似乎始终闪耀着对西方文化非理性倾向—"酒神精神"的自觉认同和献媚般的迷恋,然而,酒神精神背后所蕴含的历史寻根和文化反思才是该部电影的精神旨归。

＂Red Sorghum＂, as the first movie winning the Gold Award in worldg top film festival in Chinese main- land, conveys the patriotic theme of anti - Japanese on the surface, which is difficult to cover up its symbolism style and Dionysian ethos. The movie seems always expressing the irrational tendencies of Western culture - the con- scious recognition and flattering praise about ＂Dionysian spirit＂. However, uncovering the veil of Dionysian spirit, the soul of the movie is tracing back the historical roots and cultural reflection.
