《妈妈!》:母性谱系的再书写

Song of Spring and Its Rewriting of Maternal Genealogy

作为杨荔钠“女性三部曲”的终篇,《妈妈!》聚焦老年女性的生命经验。现实之痛与诗化风格的融合赋予影片浓郁的浪漫色彩,展示出女性导演处理阿尔兹海默病题材时的独特方式。在浓郁的爱的情感表达中,影片构筑起一个三代女性的母性谱系,但与《春潮》不同,重写的母性谱系不再聚焦代际冲突,而是强调代际联结。通过母女角色的互换,叙事焦点从女儿转向老年母亲,这不仅再次提出母亲角色的价值和意义问题,同时也将老年女性的生活置于聚光灯下。

Song of Spring, the last part of Yang Lina’s “Woman Trilogy ”, focuses on the life of senior women. As a woman director, Yang deals with the painful and stressful Alzheimer sufferings in a very warm and tender way, thus giving a romantic touch to the movie. With strong feelings of love, the film shows a maternal genealogy of three mothers. However, unlike Spring Tide which highlights the conflict between daughter and mother,Song of Spring eulogizes the bond of this relationship. The film shifts its focus from daughter to senior aged mother by swapping the daughtermother roles, which brings forth re-evaluation of motherhood and puts the life of senior women under the spotlight as well.
