中国科幻电影中的能源书写

The Presentation of Energy in Chinese Science Fiction Films

中国科幻电影,在工业体系建设和科幻思维开拓上还有一定的不足,而于能源对象的表现上却显现出较为清晰的历时逻辑。在物质相对匮乏的现代化建设初期,支撑多方面生产发展的能源,为文艺创作者畅想美好未来提供了通道;受20世纪90年代的环保热潮影响,破坏生态的能源加工厂,一度成为批判话语聚焦的对象;进入21世纪后,新能源产业的快速发展,成为电影传递科学人文主义精神的现实基础。尽管银幕上能源符号的社会所指不断变迁,然而电影呈现能源的思维倾向还是颇为单一,这揭示出中国科幻电影发展乏力的部分原因,未来的国产科幻作品势必呼唤更多批判性思考的加入。

In Chinese science fiction films,there obviously lacks industrial system construction and science fiction thinking.However,there shows an apparently clear logic of diachronism in terms of energy issues.At the early stage of modernization when materials were scarce,the energy that supported production in many fields offered an access for literature creators to imagine a better future.Then the 1990s witnessed a wave of environmental protection,and thus the energy processing plants which caused damage to the eco-environment once became the target of criticism.Since the beginning of the 21th century,the rapid development of new energy industries has constituted a realistic basis for films to convey the spirit of scientific humanism.Despite the changing social references of energy symbols on the screen,the tendency of presenting energy in films is still quite rare,which partly explains the weak development of Chinese science fiction films.Therefore,it absolutely requires more critical thinking in domestic sci-fi works.
