“他者”悲剧:《最后的决斗》中女性形象的别样呈现

Tragedy of the Other:A Unique Presentation of Female Images in The Last Duel

导演雷德利·斯科特在影片《最后的决斗》中,通过别样的叙事手法、角色呈现、主题展示,完善其女性形象的塑造技巧。影片巧妙地运用三幕式架构的叙述视角,借助“罗生门”式的非线性复调叙事,将故事从男性视角与女性视角展开对比,暗示出最后“决斗”的虚伪。同时,采用隐喻和象征等手段,诠释男性视角下女性形象是如何被符号化定义的;从“他者”的依附、“他者”的失语与“他者”的反抗三个方面,揭示出女性“他者”命运的悲剧主题。这些技巧,为华语电影女性形象立体化与多元化的塑造提供了新的思路。

In the film The Last Duel,director Ridley Scott presents perfect female images through his unique narrative and presentations of roles and themes.The film makes striking contrasts of the story from the male perspective and the female perspective,narrating in the three-act structure and the non-linear polyphonic view of Rashomon style that suggests the hypocrisy of the final“duel”.Metaphor and symbol are also used to interpret how female images are symbolically defined from the male perspective,and the other’s attachment,aphasia and resistance together reveal the theme of tragic fate of“the other”females.These smartly applied techniques provide new ideas for the three-dimensional and diversified shaping of female images in Chinese films.
