视觉的“怀旧体验”:当下中国电影的文化表征

"Nostalgic Experience"of Eyes:Cultural Representation of Current Chinese Films

当下电影不断追求影像奇观,黑白电影却以黑白色调表达出对于视觉的怀旧经验。《影》和《村戏》都采用黑白色调但表意效果却有差别,前者的水墨意境与暴力荼毒造成失序,后者的纪实风格与历史悖谬产生张力。黑白电影透露出反彩色的叙事意图,表现出反潮流的文化倾向。近年中国黑白电影的市场影响力有限,艺术表现力尚可。黑白电影的色彩试验只有契合影片的故事、情绪和思想,才能产生有效的修辞效果和象征意义。

Today's films are constantly pursuing image wonders,but the black-and-white films express their nostalgic experience of eyes in black and white tones.Both the films Shadow and Bangzi Melody use black and white tones,but they feature quite different ideographical expressions.The former's artistic conception of Chinese ink painting and violence and sufferings cause disorder,and the latter's documentary style and historical paradox create tension.The black-and white films,with anti-color narrative intent,show the cultural tendency of counter-trend.In recent years,the influence of Chinese black-and-white films has been limited in the market,and their artistic expression is moderate.The color experiment of black-and-white films can only produce efective rhetorical effects and symbolic meanings if they fit the story,emotions and thoughts of the films.
