《驴得水》:历史寓言、启蒙姿势与“刻奇”悲剧

Mr. Donkey:Historical Fable, Enlightenment Gesture and “Kitschy” Tragedy

《驴得水》是一部以五四启蒙主义逻辑结构起来的历史寓言电影,有趣的是,它同时又包含着对这一话语逻辑之下的个人主义的讽刺和批判。然而,讽刺和批判并不彻底,随着影片试图从喜剧转向悲剧,《驴得水》最终难逃同一话语的逻辑窠臼,成为后者在当代的一个"刻奇"版本。

Mr. Donkey is a historical fable film which structured with the logic of the May Fourth Movement, interestingly with an ironic and critic attitude to individualism that comes from the same thought. However, the irony and criticism is not thorough, as Mr. Donkey turns to be kitsch when trying to end in tragedy, because of the same logic of individualism.
