电影《特洛伊》中的“隐性进程”

The"covert progression"in the movie Troy

“隐性进程”是国内叙事学研究学者申丹提出的一种崭新的叙事学概念,用以指示显性情节背后的叙事暗流。在沃尔夫冈·彼得森执导的美国电影《特洛伊》中,存在着一明一暗、齐头并进的双重叙事轨迹。显性叙事以战争发展为主线,“隐性进程”则聚焦于英雄们的日常生活。透过电影中的“隐性进程”,观众既能看清人物形象的多面性,又可以管窥藏匿于显性战争主题背后的多元题旨。

The term"covert progression",a novel narrative concept proposed by Shen Dan,a domestic narratologist,refers to the narrative undercurrent behind the explicit narration.In the American movie Troy directed by Wolfgang Peterson,there is a dual narrative track,in which the dominant narrative focuses on the ongoing war,while the covert progressions on the daily lives of the heroes.Through the second narrative track,the audience can not only see the multi-faceted characters,but also get a glimpse of the multiple topics behind the explicit theme of war.
