《阿凡达:水之道》:行星思维与家庭思维的悖论

Avatar:The Way of Water—The Paradox of Planetary Thinking and Familial Thinking

制作周期长达13年、投资金额超过4亿美元的好莱坞顶级特效电影《阿凡达:水之道》于2022年底在全球上映,被视为普遍意义上的“救市之作”。但遗憾的是,该片在全球范围的遭遇不甚理想,不但票房数据不如预期,口碑层面也遭遇颇多差评。这一受挫让我们不得不重新思考《阿凡达》系列这个顶级工业产品的存在意义以及它在当下电影生态环境下的可持续性问题。在此,理解行星思维与家庭思维之间的悖论或许能够成为解析此问题的关键。

With a production cycle of 13 years and an investment of more than US$400 million,Avatar:The Way of Water,one of Hollywood’s top special effects films,has suffered from a worldwide failure,not only in terms of box office figures,but also in terms of critical acclaim.This failure has led us to rethink the existence of the Avatar series as a top industrial product and its sustainability in the current cinematic ecosystem.Here,understanding the paradox between planetary thinking and familial thinking may be the key to resolving this issue.
