中国电影现实主义理论资源的流变

Personality Is Gifted And Individuality Considered——The change of the Chinese cinemas' theory resources of realism

在中国电影相当长的历史时期,现实主义曾拥有大一统的美学地位。20世纪90年代以来,中国电影复杂的体制转型,使现实主义美学地位大不如从前。在中国当代主流电影中,现实主义创作已退居次席。而带有先锋意味的青年电影,从世界电影史资源中,又重拾现实主义话语,为中国电影带来新的生机与可能。从独霸天下,到大幅收缩,又遭遇分割,中国电影中的现实主义话语呈现特异面貌。

In the long history of Chinese cinema, realism had once been occupied a monopolized aes-thetic status. Since 1990s, Chinese cinema had undergone a very complicated institutional transformation, and this undermined the status of realism. So in the contemporary Chinese mainstream movies, realism has shrunk-en to be an unimportant role. But during this special cultural period, some young director revived the realism theoretical resource from the world cinema, which brought about new vigor to Chinese cinema. From monopoli-zation to the great shrinkage, and then to further partition, the realism discourse in Chinese cinema turned out its special characteristic.
