机甲电影魅力与城市科幻底蕴的契合共生——论《环太平洋》中的城市性

The Combination and Symbiosis between the Charms of Mech-Movies and the Urban Science Deposits——On the Urbanity in Pacific Rim

电影诞生于城市,又发展于城市,城市和电影的联系演化为一种“复杂而多元的互动关系”,这一互动关系又在电影创作、电影文学和电影产业等多方面都能得以体现。而科幻电影所代表的重工业水平和大体量制作,也只有定位于科技、经济、商业和人才集中地的城市,才能使得其所承载的科幻逻辑、工业需求、背景环境、制作条件以及感官冲击得到有力的支撑。城市的华灯璀璨、摩天大楼能为科幻电影所描绘的风云变幻、五彩斑斓的想象空间提供最直观的视觉采纳,城市的定位和参与也为这类以视效感官冲击为卖点的科幻电影构建了能够支撑其科幻理论基础的叙事逻辑和表达空间。

Movies were born and developed in cities. The relationship between cities and movies has evolved into a complex and diversified interactive relationship, which is reflected in movie creations, literature and industries. The level of heavy industries and large-scale productions represented by science fiction movies can only be positioned in cities where science and technology, economy, commerce and talents are concentrated, which can effectively support the science fiction logic, industrial demand, background environment, production conditions and sensory impact. The bright lights and skyscrapers of the city can provide the most intuitive visual experience for the ever-changing and colorful imagination space of science fiction movies. The positioning and participation of the city can also build and support the narrative logic and expression space of science fiction movies with visual effects and sensory impact as the selling point.
