从天涯比邻到天体比邻:科幻电影美学新范畴

From “Being Close Neighbors Even at the Ends of the Earth”to“Celestial Bodies Being Close Neighbors”:New Category of Science Fiction Film Aesthetics

在交通工具不发达的古代,“海内存知己,天涯若比邻”的诗句寄托了让真挚情感超越空间束缚的心愿。现代交通技术的迅猛发展逐渐抚平了传统时代因为距离遥远而萌生的惆怅。科幻电影进而在幻想未来科技应用的过程中揭示了“天体比邻”的意蕴。古人对“天涯比邻”进行过多种阐释。相关思路延伸到科幻电影构思中,形成了有关“天体比邻”的三类九种创意,即着眼于人的宇宙志向开拓、地外生物入梦、星际联系建立,着眼于物的交通工具改进、理念投契证明,着眼于事的艺术技巧创新、移民文化投射、怀旧情感抒发。作为科幻电影美学的范畴,“天体比邻”不仅可用以诠释相关影片的审美心理,而且可以作为科幻情境下中国话语与中国叙事体系的范畴起作用。

In ancient times when transportation was underdeveloped,the verse“a bosom friend afar brings a distant land near”expressed the aspiration for sincere emotions to transcend the constraints of space.The rapid development of modern transportation technology has gradually smoothed out the melancholy that emerged in traditional times due to long distances.Science fiction films,in turn,reveal the implication of“celestial bodies being close neighbors”in the process of imagining the application of future technologies.Ancient people have given various interpretations of“being close neighbors even at the ends of the earth”.In the field of medical academia,it has been extended to the conception of science fiction films,forming three categories and nine kinds of creativity related to“celestial bodies being close neighbors”,namely focusing on the exploration of human’s cosmic aspirations,the dreaming of extraterrestrial creatures,and the establishment of interstellar connections;focusing on the improvement of transportation means and the proof of shared ideas regarding objects;and focusing on the innovation of artistic skills,the projection of immigration culture,and the expression of nostalgic emotions regarding events.As a category of science fiction film aesthetics,“celestial bodies being close neighbors”can not only be used to interpret the aesthetic psychology of related films,but also function as a category of Chinese discourse and narrative system in the science fiction context.
