透过《疯狂原始人》解读中西方家庭关系差异

Interpretation of the Difference of Western and Chinese Family Relationship through The Croods

2013年,美国好莱坞在万众瞩目之下出品了又一部创造动画票房神话的电影《疯狂原始人》。《疯狂原始人》取得巨大成功得力于好莱坞结合最新的3D技术及影院IMAX观影技术,让观众在电影院中更能获得强烈的观影体验。但抛开技术层面,《疯狂原始人》的成功更多是因为它在带给观众强烈视听之余所泛出的一种浓浓的人文主义情感,以一种现代人的角度来描述原始人的生活,让人在易于接受的观影过程中透视出了当今西方国家的家庭关系,从而感受到影片深层的人文关怀与治愈性。以《疯狂原始人》为例,从政治和经济危机等方面展开对西方当今家庭不同以往的影响,同时通过对电影中人物复杂内心的挖掘分析,突现了西方家庭不同性别、不同身份角色的人文情感,充分表现出善良、勇敢、探索和执着等丰富的人文元素,并从家庭、文化、教育以及家庭养老特色几方面出发,引申出当今建立和谐的家庭关系的思考。

In 2013, another Hollywood animated film The Croods was produced with positive reviews and high antici- pations, which created a myth of the box office for an animated film. The great success of The Croods contributes to the applications of the technologies including the combination of 3 - dimension and IMAX, which makes audiences experience stronger visual impacts. However, the more impressive factors for its success are the fact that a strong consciousness on humanism is shown under the modernized description of the primitive life and penetrates the family relationship in contem- porary western countries, thus revealing deeper concerns and cure on humanism. The film figures out the changes of west- ern families politically and economically, emphasizes abundant elements on humanism based on analysis about the charac- ters, and puts forward to an issue on how to build a harmonious relationship between family members in some aspects, such as family culture, education and within - household old - age support.
