技术的力量:抒情、文化与人类大同——巴拉兹·贝拉电影美学理论研究

The Power of Technology:Lyric, Culture and the Great Unity of the Human Society: A Study on Balazs Bela’s Film Aesthetic Theory

匈牙利学者巴拉兹·贝拉是世界电影理论史上第一位“从全面和已有的实例出发来探讨电影美学”的电影理论家。在他看来,电影通过电影摄影机这种新型装置及其一系列的运作机制:特写、场面调度和蒙太奇等创造出了独具特色的电影语言,促成了观众与摄影机视角的“合一”,完成了机械装置的抒情目标,颠覆了欧洲两千多年的艺术传统,改变了西方文化的走向,并且由于电影对大众审美能力的培育,有可能促成人类大同社会的形成。

Balazs Bela,a Hungarian scholar,is the first film theorist in the history of the world film theory who discussed film aesthetics from comprehensive and existing examples.In his view,the movie has created a unique film language through the new device of the movie camera and a series of operating mechanisms such as close-ups,scene scheduling and montage,which has promoted the integration of the audience and the camera perspective.It completed the lyrical goal of mechanical devices,subverted the European tradition of art which lasted more than 2000,years and changed the trend of western culture.Besides,the cultivation of the public’s aesthetic ability by movies is likely to promote the formation of great unity of the human society.
