电影、机场体验与“美国例外论”——从斯皮尔伯格《幸福终点站》说起

Film,Airport Experience and "American Exceptionalism"——A Review on The Terminal by Spielberg

《幸福终点站》作为斯皮尔伯格的经典作品之一,在美国本土乃至全球电影市场收获了积极的反响,常被视作励志温情片。然而,结合“后9·11”语境、好莱坞主流叙事电影的传统及斯皮尔伯格的创作风格,亦可从“美国例外论”与美国文化价值传播的角度对《幸福终点站》进行探讨。作为文化体验空间的国际机场,在片中发挥了不容忽视的表达作用。

As one of Spielberg’s typical works,The Terminal has gained positive responses in both the local and global film market,and it is often viewed as a movie expressing the pursuit of happiness and love.However,considering the context of "post-9/11",the orthodox of specific narrativity pattern of Hollywood films and Spielberg’s creation style,The Terminal can also be analyzed from a perspective of "American exceptionalism" and the dissemination of American values.What also deserves attention is that the international airport has played an important role in the film,functioning as a space for "experience".
