21世纪德国“二战”题材电影的历史叙事及国族身份建构

Historical Narratives and Construction of National Identity in German WWII Films in the 21st Century

21世纪德国“二战”题材电影细致描绘了纳粹领导人和德国民众的日常生活,近距离观察了纳粹德国官僚体制内部的权力运作方式,深入探索了法西斯主义的特点、本质及其产生的机制根源。这些电影在反思战争危害的同时,试图用修正主义的历史立场洗刷纳粹的暴行,将德国人民塑造为战争的牺牲者而非发动者,将纳粹高层表现为富有魅力的领导者而非战争罪犯。未来的德国“二战”电影应该进一步引导观众正确认识战争的危害,避免历史悲剧重演。

German WWII films in the new century portrayed in detail the daily lives of the Nazi leaders and the German people,closely observed the way of the power operation within the bureaucracy of Nazi Germany and explored in-depth the features and essence of fascism and its origin of mechanism.These films attempted to whitewash the Nazis'atrocities with revisionist historical view,portraying the German people as the victims rather than the initiators of the war,and representing the governors of Nazi Germany as charismatic leaders rather than war criminals.German films about the WWII in the future should further educate the audience about the dangers of war and prevent historical tragedies from repeating themselves.
