试析系列电影《叶问》中的民族主义书写

A Tentative Analysis of Nationalist Writing in Yip Man Movie Series

自从以《方世玉打擂台》为标志的香港功夫电影发祥以来,民族主义始终是横亘在香港功夫电影中的粗大横线。系列电影《叶问》与《叶问2:宗师传奇》试图从南北之争、中日之争、中西之争三个层面来建构其民族主义主题。一旦功夫电影中的民族主义成为一种强制性书写与情绪化宣泄,那功夫表演也就成了一种游戏性、杂耍类的视觉奇观,而功夫电影似乎也就逐步走向穷途末路。

Since Fong Sze Yu＇s Battle in the Boxing Ring that marked the birthplace of Hong Kong Kung Fu movies, nationalism has gained popularity in Hong Kong films. Both Yip Man and Yip Man 2： Legend of the Grandmaster attempt to construct the nationalist theme from the following three perspectives： the south-north conflict, the Sino-Japanese conflict, and the East-West conflict. Once the nationalism in the Kung Fu movies has become an emotional outburst, Kung Fu Performance will transform into visual marvel which focuses on game play and sideshow. Consequently, the Kung Fu Movies seem to move towards a dead end gradually.
