水墨光影里的中国故事——论电影《影》的艺术表现力

Study on the Artistic Expression of the FilmShadow

《影》是张艺谋对自己电影风格的一次颠覆和超越。电影用水墨色彩呈现出传统中国国画恬淡冷峻、写意抒怀的风格,"中国故事"完成了一次现代意义上的"中国表达"。全片用古典悲剧的风格对古代王权进行新的探讨,实现了导演个人历史思考的完整表达。虽然《影》不是一部完美的作品,但无论是对张艺谋本人还是对中国电影,它都有着重要的意义。

The Movie Shadow is a subversion and transcendence of Zhang Yimou’s film style. The movie uses the ink colour to show the traditional Chinese painting’s calm, cool and lyrical style. Through this film style, Chinese story completed a modern Chinese expression. The film uses the style of classical tragedy to discuss the ancient imperial power, which realizes the director’s complete expression of his personal history thinking. Although the film Shadow is not a perfect work, it has important implications for both Zhang Yimou himself and for Chinese films.
