人鱼恋新曲——《水形物语》中的异托邦空间

A New Mermaid Love: The Heterotopia in The Shape of Water

与传统的人鱼恋不同,获得2018年度奥斯卡最佳影片和最佳导演的美国电影《水形物语》更多反映的是以清洁工伊莉莎和作为实验对象的“水神”(半人类的两栖生命)所代表的边缘人物在异托邦空间里对现代城市生活、对实验室代表的科技和权威的抵制和反抗。伊莉莎和“水神”最终成功逃离异托邦,进入了乌托邦。

Unlike a film of traditional mermaid love,The Shape of Water,which won the best picture and best director of 2018 Academy Award,is more about the resistance and rebellion against the modern urban life and the technology and authority represented by the laboratory in the heterotopic space by the marginal people represented by Elisa,the cleaner,and the“Water God”(semi-human amphibian)as the subject of the experiment.Elisa and the“Water God”finally succeeded in fleeing from the heterotopia into the Utopia.
