“双行道”与“钳形结构”--论《信条》的时间叙述

"Two-Way Street"Narration and"Clamp Structure"--On the Time Narration of TENET

《信条》以“熵减”设定时间逆行的元素,构造了独特的情节结构与镜头语言,在以往逆向叙述的基础上,将逆向叙述与正向叙述结合,并置时间逆行与时间顺行,形成了“双行道”式的叙述结构。这样的叙述方式造成叙述行为时间与被叙述时间的结构分歧:叙述行为时间的回旋结构是时向变形结果;被叙述时间的“钳形”结构不但缺少明晰的因果链,更展现了一种违背传统的“因果律则论”的世界观。

TENET sets the elements of time retrograding with“entropy subtraction”,constructing a unique plot structure and scene language.Based on previous backward narration,it combines with forward narration,juxtaposing time backward and time forward,forming a“two-way street”narrative structure.Such a narrative manner leads to the structural difference between the narrative behavior time and the narrated time:the convolution structure of narrative behavior time is the result of deformation in time direction,while the“clamp structure”in the narrated time not only lacks a clear causal chain,but also shows a world view contrary to the traditional causality.
