"台语片"是指从1955年开始到1981年止,以"台语"配音,使用台湾本土资源拍摄的,反映台湾本土文化的影片。作为一种"类型"电影,台语片是在特殊的时代背景下产生的,从制作条件、作品风格、内容到制作者、参与者、受众都自成体系,成为电影文化学研究的一个重要对象。文章通过台语电影的具体文本来研究台语片中包括歌仔戏、台语流行歌曲、民间故事、神话传说等文化符号是如何被纳入到电影创作实践中去的。

What we canonically call Taiwan Residents-dialect films those movies produced from 1955 to 1981 within the Taiwan Residents natural and cultural context and dubbed into Taiwan Residents dialect,thus reflecting the local life and social conditions in Taiwan in an ever so tense tone.Defined by its historical context,production system,aesthetic bias,diegetic space,and stakeholders at all levels,Taiwan Residents-dialect films are an important subject in both genre studies and cultural studies.This paper will take a close-up look at several Taiwan Residents-dialect films to further the understanding of how indigenous cultural codes,such as puppet opera(gezaixi),popular songs,folktales,legends and myths,are weaved into the cinematic practice via all possible approaches.
