双重视野下的中国男性气质:以《战狼2》为例

On the Masculinity of China from Two Perspectives——Taking the Wolf Warriors Ⅱ as a Case

《战狼2》是一部融战争、军事、动作、性别、种族等多重元素于一体的类型电影。以该片为例,在现代化和"他者"双重视野下解读电影媒介是怎样再现中国男性气质的,一方面能揭示传统中国社会崇尚的男性气质在全球化、市场化、消费化冲击下已然发生的改变,另一方面能窥探国人在白人中心主义的世界中寻求并不断强化的主体性身份。该片彰显的"霸权性男性气质"既满足了观众对中国式英雄的理想化想象,又契合了主流文化的需要,但与后现代主义所倡导的多元化男性气质背道而驰。挑战单一的霸权性男性气质,再现多元化的男性气质,应成为现代电影业追求的目标之一。

Wolf Warriors Ⅱ is a film that combines elements such as war, military, action, gender and race. Taking the film as an example is to explain how the media reproduces Chinese masculinity in two aspects which are modernization and the perspective ＂The Other.＂On the one hand, it reveals what changes have taken place in China＇s traditional masculinity under the influence of globalization, marketization and consumerism. On the other hand, it explores the Chinese people＇s subjectivity in the white supremacy. Further observation can be seen that the＂hegemonic masculinity＂shown by the film not only meets the audience＇s imagination of Chinese style heroes, but also is unified with the needs of the mainstream culture. The only problem is that it conflicts with the diversity of masculinity advocated by postmodernism. Challenging the single hegemonic masculinity and presenting the diversity of masculinity should be one of the goals of the modern film industry.
