悬疑与怀旧:2020—2023年中国犯罪电影的现实变奏

Suspense and Nostalgia:Realistic Variations on Chinese Crime Films from 2020 to 2023

2020—2023年的中国犯罪电影在数量、质量和影响力上表现突出,整体上显现出与以往犯罪片不同的新变。影片广泛关注反腐扫黑、反赌反诈、性别暴力等现实问题,在人物塑造和表现尺度上有所突破。而在叙事上显著的变化是与悬疑类型结合,呈现出封闭的剧场效果和不断反转,这种讲述现实的方式既隔绝了现实,又与现实曲折相关,受到更大范围的媒介环境变化的影响。还有一类怀旧的艺术电影和动作片,20世纪90年代可作为其症结根源、另类想象或现实同构之物。

The Chinese crime films from 2020 to 2023 are outstanding in terms of quantity,quality and influence,and on the whole show a great change different from the previous.These films pay extensive attention to practical issues such as anti-corruption,anti-gambling and anti-fraud,gender violence,and have made breakthroughs in the characterization and violence scales.The significant change in narrative is the combination with the suspense genre,which presents as a closed theatre and continuous reversals.This way of telling reality is not only isolated from reality,but also tortuous and related to reality,and is affected by a wider range of media environments.There is also a class of nostalgic art films and action films in which the 1990s can serve as a root cause of the present,an alternative imagination or an isomorphism of reality.
