哥斯拉电影诞生的“战后”动因解析

Analysis on the“Postwar”Motives of the Birth of Godzilla Film

上映于1954年的日本科幻恐怖电影《哥斯拉》是'战后'这一特殊而复杂的历史复合体的产物。具体来说,对'原爆'所展现的巨大破坏力既恐惧又向往的矛盾心理,展现了日本社会普遍的道德相对主义倾向;而从'空想科学'到'SF'的转变,则展现了日本人对美国文化消化吸收、再创新的能力。而透过《哥斯拉》及其续作,能够清晰地看到'战后'是如何重新塑造了日本民族与日本社会的现代性。

The Japanese science fiction film Godzilla released in 1954 is the product of the particular and complex historical complex of'postwar'.Specifically,the ambivalence of terror and aspiring represented by the great destructive force of'atom bomb'reflects the general tendency of moral relativism in Japanese society;while the transformation from'Kuso Kagaku'to'SF'shows Japanese people’s abilities of absorbing and innovating American culture.Godzilla and its sequels clearly show how'postwar'has re-shaped the modernity of the Japanese nation and Japanese society.
