回归人性原旨:中外电影的反教育情结及其对艺术真谛的探询

The Return to Humanity: Anti- education Complex and Exploration of Art Essence in Chinese and Foreign Films

诸多电影作品流露出对僵化的教育体制的叛逆乃至深恶痛绝,中外亦然,尤其是信奉伊斯兰原教旨主义的伊朗电影。在电影史上,学校特别是中小学,被视为禁锢思想和束缚人性的场所,荧幕上的校长大都是古板与教条的化身,个别敢于革新的教师虽受学生拥戴,但终都失败。电影的反教育情结,虽与导演的个性与阅历密不可分,但西方现代教育思想的反教育原旨取向多遭诟病,亦是不争的事实。艺术乃至教育均须直面人的天性,回归原旨,这在全球化的后现代当下,是多么可望而不可及。

Many of Chinese and foreign films display the revolt or even abhorrence of the rigid education system, especially in Iranian films where Islamic doctrine is embraced. Schools, the elementary and middle schools in particular, have been regarded as places confining thoughts and bounding human nature in film history. And the schoolmasters usually are viewed as the embodiment of rigidity and dogmas on screen, while exceptional teachers who dare to make innovations are doomed to fail eventually though they are well revered by students. It cannot be denied anti - education complex in films, especially the anti - education orientation in Western modern education ideology, has been widely criti- cized though it cannot be separated from directors＇ personalities and experiences. It seems beyond the reach for arts and education to confront humanity by returning to its essence in the contemporary postmodern context of globalization.
