宝莱坞科幻片:发展中国家科幻叙事的代表

Bollywood Science Fiction Films: The Representative of Science Fiction Narratives in Developing Countries

宝莱坞科幻片虽然数量不多,却是印度电影重要的组成部分,它代表了印度电影工业发展的水平。科幻片需要高新的电影技术去制作实现,更需要当下的科技水平、社会观念和文化心理作为底蕴去触发想象和支撑科幻世界的存在。宝莱坞科幻片涉及的题材和叙事形态比较多样,与印度宗教和神话关系紧密,在类型混合方面比较自由。作为发展中国家科幻叙事的代表,宝莱坞科幻片在打破发达国家科幻叙事的垄断地位方面有着积极的意义。

Although there are few Bollywood science fiction films, they play an important part in Indian films and represent the level of development of the Indian film industry. Science fiction films need high-tech film technology to produce and also the up-to-date technological level, social concepts, and cultural psychology as the foundation to trigger imagination and support the establishment of science fiction narratives. Bollywood scifi films involve more diverse themes and narrative forms, are closely related to Indian religion and mythology,and are relatively free in mixing different genres. As a representative of sci-fi narratives in developing countries, Bollywood sci-fi films have positive significance in breaking the monopoly of sci-fi narratives in developed countries.
