台湾新电影运动的反思与启示

Reflections on and Implications from Taiwan New Cinema Movement

在台湾电影发展史上,20世纪80年代初掀起的台湾新电影运动具有十分重要的意义,它与同一时期先后发生的香港新电影运动和大陆新电影运动交相辉映,汇聚成了中国电影创作发展的新浪潮。在此期间,相继出现了一批创新意识和个性风格较鲜明,艺术质量和美学品位颇高的优秀影片,既让世界影坛刮目相看,也让更多的域外观众了解和领略了中国电影的美学风貌。虽然当下台湾电影和大陆电影、香港电影在生态环境及创作、产业和市场等方面都发生了很大变化,但是,当年新电影运动所体现的艺术创新精神,以及电影艺术家对社会现实和近现代历史的关注与批判精神等,仍然值得积极倡导和大力弘扬。因此,重新回顾、反思这一艺术创新运动,探讨其意义和价值,总结其经验和教训,并从中获得一些新的启示,无论是对推动中国电影在新的时代环境下健康有序的发展,还是对重写中国电影发展史,都是十分重要和非常必要的。

In the history of Taiwan＇s cinematic development,Taiwan New Cinema Movement initiated at the beginning of 1980 s played a very important part,echoed with the new cinema movement in Hong Kong first and later in the Mainland around the same period. The three movements combined together formed the New Wave in the history of Chinese film production. During this period,a plethora of high quality films occurred successively featuring innovative awareness,distinctive personal styles and high artistic and aesthetic quality.These films refreshed the visions of the world film arena,and opened a window for foreign viewers to understand and appreciate the aesthetic styles of Chinese films. Although great changes have take place in the ecological environment and film creation,production,and markets in Taiwan,Mainland and Hong Kong film industries,the spirit of artistic innovation embodied by the New Cinema Movement,together with the film artists＇ care about social reality,about modern and contemporary history and their critical spirit,is still worth vigorous promotion and upholding. Therefore,it is very important and necessary to revisit and reflect on the artistic innovation movement,explore its significance and values,summarize experience and lessons and gain new insights in order to promote healthy and orderly development of Chinese film and Chinese language film in the context of the new era on the one hand,and to rewrite the history of Chinese cinematic development on the other.
