退隐叙事:中华文化和美学观念影响下的华语电影叙事问题

Research on Narrative Features of Sinophone Films under the Impact of Chinese Culture and Aesthetic Concepts from the Retreating Narrative Perspective

应该承认电影叙事理论具有一定的通约性,但是东西方文化的差异对电影叙事结构的影响也是明显存在的。如果说好莱坞主流叙事的基本形态可以称之为"欲望叙事",那么华语电影叙事的结局却并非以欲望满足为根本目标,表现出"退隐叙事"的诸多特点。中国文化追求提升人类的生命境界,这一文化理想直接影响到华语电影的叙事格局建构,而且也是华语电影文化艺术品位的重要标志。

It should be acknowledged that film narrative theory has certain commensurability but the differences between eastern and western cultures indeed have an obvious influence on the structure of film narratives. If the basic form of the mainstream Hollywood narrative is called "desire narrative",the Sinophone film narrative usually doesn't end with satisfying desires but shows many characteristics of "retire narrative". The ideal of Chinese culture seeks to raise the realm of human life,which directly affects,as an important symbol of the cultural and artistic taste of Sinophone cinema,the construction of film narrative patterns.
