《长津湖》结构论——兼谈《左传·殽之战》的结构特点

On The Battle at Lake Changjin’s Structure:Concurrently Discussing the Structural Features of the Battle of Yao,an excerpt from Zuo Tradition/Zuozhuan:Commentary on the“Spring and Autumn Annals”

自《长津湖》上映以来,好评如潮,但也有一些不同的声音。本文认为,《长津湖》的故事情节环环紧扣,形散神不散;《长津湖》在结构上用三分之二的篇幅做铺垫,和《左传·殽之战》的写法颇为相似;《长津湖》的设计有助于揭示抗美援朝的正义性和胜利的必然性,体现了叙事者高度的文化自信。

Since its release in 2021,the Battle at Lake Changjin has won a large outpouring of favorable comments from the audiences although some voices have emerged expressing regret that the whole story is structurally loose and messy.However,the paper argues that the story plots of the film are closely linked,manifested in its seemingly loose structure yet with the inspiring Chinese patriotic spirit displayed throughout the film.The film uses two-thirds of its scenes as a foreshadowing,which is quite similar to the narrative practice of the Battle of Yao(《殽之战》),an excerpt from Zuo Tradition/Zuozhuan:Commentary on the“Spring and Autumn Annals”(《左传》).The design of the film’s structure helps reveal the justice of the War to Resist U.S.Aggression and Aid Korea(1950-1953)as well as the subsequent victory driven by the unstoppable force,thus reflecting the high cultural self-confidence of the narrators.
