失落与成长——论中国无声电影中的女性形象及其变迁

Lost and Growth: Female Images and its Change in Chinese Silent Films

中国早期电影尤其是无声电影时期,女性形象在影片中多是被当做一种视觉奇观和情节剧中特定的消极形象存在着。二十年代银幕内外的女性角色和身份一直处于一种失落状态,直至二十年代末期,女性角色才开始成长为有主体性身份的人物形象。这一形象转变与电影中表现的公共空间——城市和乡村密切相关,也在某种程度上左右着女性形象的塑造。

In the early Chinese films, especially in the silent films era, female images in the films are treated as a visual spectacle and a specific negative image in the melodramas. On Screen the female characters and identity have been in a state of loss in early 1920s. Till late 1920s, female roles began to grow up to the characters that possess a kind of subjective identity. The transformation of the female images is closely related to the change of public spacecity and the country in films, which, to some extent, affects the female images in Chinese silent films.
