《飞驰人生2》:男性英雄之旅的奇观审美与另一种可能

Pegasus 2:The Spectacle Aesthetics of the Male Hero's Journey and Another Possibility

电影《飞驰人生2》以其独特的“速度奇观”美学与“赛车—喜剧”类型叙事,标志着韩寒在电影创作领域的商业化转型胜利。影片通过男性英雄之旅的冒险叙事建立了男性同盟结构,在菲勒斯中心的真空状态下循环永动重述完美父权神话,也较为明显地呈现出现实性表达障碍与个体价值叙述困难。但看似稳定的父权文化结构实际充满了悬浮感与自我矛盾,与同档期的《热辣滚烫》女性视角相对比,后者提供了无需依靠任何性别气质讲述个人神话的另一种可能。

Pegasus 2 marks Chinese director Han Han's successful commercial transformation in the field of filmmaking with its unique“spectacle of speed”aesthetics and“racing-comedy”narrative,establishing a male alliance structure through the adventurous narrative of a male hero's journey in the sense of Joseph Campbell,perpetuating the perfect patriarchal myth in the vacuum state of Phileas-centrism.However,the seemingly stable patriarchal cultural structure is actually filled with a sense of suspension and self-contradiction.In contrast to the female perspective of the film YOLO which was directed by a female director Jia Ling during the same Spring Festival box office season,the latter offers another possibility of narrating personal myths without relying on any gender characteristics for Chinese cinema and even world cinema.
