魔幻电影与科幻电影的比较与鉴别

A Comparative Study and Appreciation between Fantasy Films and Science Fiction films

科幻电影的特征是注重客观规律、弘扬科技理性,魔幻电影的特征则是塑造“灵异的他者”,即能够用变幻莫测的方法对环境加以操控的人(或某种社会势力)。在娱乐经济的格局、后现代氛围与跨媒体叙事的策略中,魔幻电影与科幻电影彼此渗透。魔幻电影的科幻成分表现为想象魔法世界出现科技要素,科幻电影的魔幻成分表现为想象科技世界出现魔法要素。上述内容虽然模糊了各类幻想电影之间的界限,但从总体上丰富了类型电影的表现力。

The characteristic of science fiction films is to focus on objective laws and promote technological rationality,whereas the fantasy films are featured by shaping"supernatural others",that is,people(or certain social forces)who can manipulate the environment in unpredictable ways.In the pattern of the entertainment economy,the postmodern atmosphere,and the strategy of cross media narrative,fantasy films and science fiction films permeate each other.The science fiction component offantasyfilms is represented by theemergence of technological elements in the imagined magical world,while the magic component of science fiction films is represented by the emergence of magical elements in the imagined technological world.Although the above infiltration blurs the boundaries between various fantasy films,it overall enriches the expressive power of genre films.
