《哪吒之魔童降世》:神话英雄人物的后现代重构

Nezha: Birth of The Demon Child——On Postmodern Reconstruction of Mythical Heroes

哪吒作为一个本土化的神话英雄人物,其形象在典籍、文学作品和影视作品中随着时代不断演化。他的形象嬗变与某一时期中国的历史文化背景和社会情境息息相关。《哪吒之魔童降世》这部动画电影对流传数百年的哪吒故事进行了改写,通过对电影文本的分析,可以发现影片在故事结构和人物形象设置上对既有的哪吒神话及人物进行了重构性改编,以后现代的模式完成了当代观众内心对于哪吒形象的观照,呈现出神话英雄人物的时代特征和诗意表达。

As a localized mythical hero,Nezha’s image has continuously evolved with the times in books,literary works,and film and television works.The evolution of his image is closely related to the historical and cultural background and social situation of China in a certain period.The animated film Nezha:Birth of The Demon Child rewrites the story of Nezha,which has been circulating for hundreds of years.Through analysis of the text of the movie,it can be found that the film has reconstructed the existing Nezha myth and characters in the structure of the story and the character settings,and the image of Nezha has been completed in postmodern models from the contemporary audience’s perspective,showing the characteristics of the times and poetic expression of mythical heroes.
