好莱坞电影运作中的基督教

Christianity in the Operation of Hollywood Movies

好莱坞的电影运作,可以从公共管理层,生产主体和观众来考察。基督教文化对好莱坞电影运作的影响亦体现在此。外在的公共管理层的制约则使好莱坞始终是主流价值观建构的一部分。教会失去了强制好莱坞影片的宗教伦理倾向的权力,但也可以软性的手段如影评、出资参与电影的商业生产等来使基督教文化在好莱坞影片里得到体现。好莱坞生产商始终坚持着对商业利润的追逐,基督教题材的电影得以拍摄往往是时代趋势下利益最大化的选择。观众则既有着被电影吸引的被动性,又有着不可预估的主动性。基督教信徒观众也是如此,他们的观影选择并不完全依赖于教会。

In order to understand the operation of Hollywood movies, we can examine it from three aspects： the public management, production organizations and the audiences. The influence of Christian cul- ture on Hollywood movies is also reflected in these three aspects. Under the external control of the public management Hollywood has always been a part of the mainstream values. The church has lost the power of control of Hollywood movies religious ethics. But it can make Christianity reflected in Hollywood films by soft means such as critics, investment in commercial production of films and so on. Hollywood producers al- ways adhere to the pursuit of commercial profits. The fact that the films of the Christian theme can be shot is due to the choice of maximizing the interest with the times. The audiences not only have the passivity of being attracted by the movies, but also have the unpredictable initiative. So do the Christian audiences, whose viewing choices are not entirely dependent on the church.
