从电影《画皮》和《暮光之城》比较中西方“鬼文化”的异同

An Observation on the Similarities and Differences of Chinese and Western“Ghost Culture”between Films Painted Skin and Twilight

中国魔幻电影中,人与鬼是两个阵营。中国的“鬼文化”中人性缺失,导致人终将战胜“魔”,从而反映出人性的强大。而西方的“鬼文化”中,人性与魔性集于一体,魔性中有人性,人性中有魔性,两者相互较量,相互妥协,形成故事情节的矛盾与冲突。文章以《画皮》和《暮光之城》两部相关电影为例,通过探究此两部电影,旨在发现中西不同文化背景下鬼文化有何异同以及其特性。同时,笔者发现国内外很少从对比角度去分析鬼文化,希望通过此文可以给读者提供参考。

In Chinese fantasy films,people and ghosts belong to two camps.The lack of“human nature”in Chinese Ghost Culture leads to the eventual victory of human nature over the“demon”,thus reflecting the strength of“human nature”.However,in the Western Ghost Culture,“human nature”and“demoniac nature”are integrated.They compete with each other and compromise each other,forming the contradictions and conflicts of the story.By exploring these two films,the paper aims to find out the similarities and differences of Ghost Cultures and their characteristics in different cultural backgrounds between China and the West.At the same time,the author finds that the Ghost Culture is rarely analyzed from a comparative perspective at home and abroad,and it is hoped that this paper can provide readers with references.
