《中国医生》:类型化与现实主义的两难选择

The Genrification and Realism of The Chinese Doctor in the Vision Field of World History

作为影响全球格局和世界历史的重大自然灾难事件,新冠肺炎疫情从世界史意义上对电影文化与审美提出了叙述、记忆、反思这场灾难的要求。即从人类共同体意义来突破灾难片类型文化传统,实现传染病类型片、现实主义的真实性与总体性的统一。作为全球首部以抗击新冠肺炎疫情的医护人员为题材的院线电影,尽管《中国医生》做出了类型化与现实主义相统一的努力,但如果从新冠肺炎的世界史性来看,《中国医生》在现实主义和传染病类型片方面,还有很多更高的目标需要达成。

As a major natural calamity that has influenced global landscape and world history, COVID-19 has, in the sense of world history, demand the culture and aesthetics of films to narrate and remember this disaster, which means to breakthrough the tradition of disaster film genre in the sense of human community, and realize the unification of the authenticity and totality of Realism. As the first film in the world to use the medical workers fighting against COVID-19 as its theme, The Chinese Doctor has made efforts to unify its genrification and realism. However, from the perspective of the COVID-19’s impact on world history, The Chinese Doctor cannot be seen as a success in terms of realism and genrification.
