于乱流中自我塑造——电影《少年派的奇幻漂流》的身份主题

The Shaping of Self amidst the Wild Waves: on the Theme of Identity in Life of Pi, the Film

电影《少年派的奇幻漂流》既基于李安对原作小说思想主题的深刻把握,又包含导演本人特定的文化视野与价值理念。将电影与小说放在当今世界"全球化"的问题视阈中加以比较,派可以被视为后现代时代的"当代英雄",他的成长与漂流,是当代多元文化混杂状态的诗化呈现;他的自我塑造,则是艺术家为观众提供的一个关于当代人如何在"碎片化"的世界里安然自处的成功范例。

Well grounded on Ang Lee＇ s profound grasp of the theme of the original novel, Life of Pi, the film, also contains the director＇s specific cultural vision and values. Compared with its original novel in the globalized field of vision today, Pi, in the film, can be viewed as a postmodern ＇contemporary hero＇, whose growing up and drifting are a poeticized representation of muhicuhural hybridity and whose self-shaping is a successful example, provided by the artist for the audience, of how a contemporary individual manages to peacefully place himself in a＇ fragmented＇ world.
