动画:不能低下高贵的头——高畑勋动画美学试探

Animation:Never Lower the Noble Head——On Isao Takahata’s Animation Aesthetics

高畑勋是日本著名动画人,制作了不少动画电影作品,但他导演的许多大制作影片都不能收回成本。这是因为高畑勋坚持动画作为绘画的一种形式,需要艺术化的线条表现而不是程式化的赛璐珞动画;排斥那种使观众"沉溺"其中的主观视点表现方法,更多使用带有间离性的纵深表现方法;规避时尚的情色、暴力表现,讲述日常、民间的故事。这使其作品带有了淡雅的趣味,呈现出他个人独特的美学。

Isao Takahata was a renowned Japanese animator,who produced a lot of animated films.However,many of the big films he directed could not recover the cost.Here are some reasons.Isao Takahata insisted that animation,as a form of painting,should be expressed through artistic lines instead of formulaic“celluloid animation”.He rejected the subjective viewpoints which put the audience into the shoes of the characters.Rather,he adopted a defamiliarizing multi-dimensional method of expression.He preferred daily life and folk stories to eroticism and violence in the swim.All this has made his works elegant and interesting,and above all,distinct in aesthetics with his personal characteristics.
