《春光乍泄》:于阿根廷建构的“香港寓言”

Happy Together:A"Fable of Hong Kong"Constructed in Argentina

作为典型的“作者电影”“作者”,王家卫的电影作品代表着中国香港这座后现代都市的名片。然而《春光乍泄》却是一部彻头彻尾在阿根廷拍摄的电影,中国香港的影像只出现了短短几秒。通过对比阿根廷在国族身份认同中的叙事建构,探究王家卫为何将“异托邦”城市布宜诺斯艾利斯作为中国香港的镜像倒影,进而揭示出王家卫这部电影作品的目的是面向“九七回归”寻找中国香港的身份,所要执着表达的主题仍是“寻根”。因此,《春光乍泄》这部电影作品仍是一部“香港寓言”。

As the typical"author's film",Wong Kar Wai's films can be described as the name card of Hong Kong,a post-modern city.However,Happy Together is a film that was completely shot in Argentina,where the image of Hong Kong is only presented for a few seconds.By comparing the narrative construction of Argentina in national identity to explore why Wong Kar Wai considers Buenos Aires as the city of"heterotopia"and a mirror reflection of Hong Kong,this paper reveals that the purpose of Wong Kar Wai's film is to find the identity of Hong Kong,and that the main subject that Wong Kar Wai’s films always wants to express is"seeking roots".Therefore,Happy Together remains a"Hong Kong fable".
