【摘要】：李安《少年派》因其大量的符号隐喻、深刻的思想内涵以及绝美的画面呈现,成为具有全球影响力的电影经典文本,同时也因其对影像符号和人性主体的完美映照,而成为电影符号分析的典型文本。不同符号具有不同的象征意义,在电影这个综合符号系统中,符号系统自身便构成了某种文化形态,符号的象征意义则在这种固定的文化形态中表现得更加丰富、更加深刻。李安《少年派》用大量的影像符号深化了文本的意义,并建构了一个极具象征意义的影像世界。同时,强烈的跨文化特征又使其具有了特殊的文化传播价值。这为《少年派》的影像符号研究提供了必要的前提。本文首先梳理了电影符号理论,分析了李安《少年派》的文本典型性,然后对《少年派》的影像符号进行了系统性研究。李安《少年派》的影像符号总体分为五类:场景符号、人物符号、色彩符号、音乐符号以及其他符号。它们在实现特定叙事功能的同时,产生了丰富而又独特的意义指向。在场景符号中,印度以其多元化的文化构成而成为微缩世界的符号隐喻;动物园因不同动物的存在而成为无解的人性世界之符号隐喻;广袤的太平洋与世界最深点马里亚纳海沟则被称为灵魂的航行与深渊的隐喻;食人岛因其成为派在海上漂流的中转站而被赋予了“创造”与“毁灭”的双重意义。在人物符号中,派与理查德·帕克相互影射,隐喻了人性的未知与嗜血的兽性,以及两者的相互博弈;母亲与猩猩相互影射,并因其母性与感性思维成为信仰、爱与美好的象征;父亲则成为理性的象征。同时厨子与鬣狗影射,因其秉性成为人类兽性的隐喻;水手与斑马影射,并且寓意着电影对宗教的反讽;阿南蒂作为派的初恋,是派心中始终唯一的希冀,因此她寓意着爱与希望。与此同时电影中不同的色彩也有不同的隐喻含义,不同人物、情景的音乐选择也丰富了电影的寓意。此外,电影中还有一些其他的符号元素亦成为李安《少年派》影像符号体系的有效构成部分。在李安《少年派》影像符号的系统性分析之后,本文深入研究了李安《少年派》影像符号的意义呈现。李安《少年派》丰富的影像符号系统表达了深刻的意义思辨,对人性的反思和人性救赎的寻求即是其重心所在。本文发现,李安《少年派》的影像符号体系和意义指向,具有特殊的生产机制。主要表现为以下三个方面:其一,从导演意识出发,导演的文化背景以及其作品一贯的“人性”主题是电影产生的原因之一。其二,从西方的哲学传统出发,西方哲学中关于“人性”这个的恒久母题的探讨也成为李安《少年派》的文化溯源。其三,世界文化环境的驱动。影视文学作品在东西方文化不断汇涌的驱动之下更加热衷于表现“人性”这一普世化的主题。
[Abstract]:Because of its large number of symbolic metaphors, profound ideological connotations and beautiful pictures, Ang Lee has become a classic film text with global influence. At the same time, it is also a perfect reflection of the image symbols and the subject of human nature. And become the typical text of film symbol analysis. Different symbols have different symbolic meanings. In the comprehensive symbol system of film, the symbolic system itself constitutes a certain cultural form, and the symbolic meaning of the symbol is more abundant and profound in this fixed cultural form. Ang Lee used a large number of image symbols to deepen the meaning of the text and construct a symbolic image world. At the same time, the strong cross-cultural characteristics make it have a special value of cultural communication. This provides the necessary premise for the study of the image symbols of Juvenile School. This paper first combs the theory of film symbols, analyzes the text typicality of Ang Lee's "Juvenile School", and then makes a systematic study on the image symbols of "Juvenile School". Ang Lee's image symbols are divided into five categories: scene symbols, character symbols, color symbols, musical symbols and other symbols. While realizing the specific narrative function, they produce rich and unique meaning direction. In the scene symbol, India becomes the symbolic metaphor of the miniature world because of its diverse cultural structure, and the zoo becomes the symbolic metaphor of the unsolved human world because of the existence of different animals. The vast Pacific Ocean and the Mariana Trench, the deepest point in the world, are called metaphors of the navigation and abyss of the soul. Cannibalism Island is endowed with the double meaning of "creation" and "destruction" because it becomes a transit station for drifting on the sea. In the character symbols, pie and Richard Parker insinuate each other, metaphorically the unknowns of human nature and bloodthirsty beasts, and the game between the two; mothers and orangutans insinuate each other and become beliefs because of their maternal and perceptual thinking. A symbol of love and beauty; a father of reason. At the same time the cook and the hyena insinuate, because their nature became the metaphor of human animality; the sailor and the zebra insinuated, and implied the movie to the religion's irony; Ananti's first love as a school, is the school's only hope all the time, So she meant love and hope. At the same time, different colors have different metaphorical meanings. The musical choices of different characters and scenes enrich the moral of the film. In addition, some other symbolic elements in the film also become an effective part of the image symbol system of Ang Lee. After the systematic analysis of the image symbols of Ang Lee, this paper makes a thorough study on the significance of the image symbols. Ang Lee's abundant image symbol system expresses profound thinking of meaning, and the reflection of human nature and the search for human salvation are its focus. In this paper, we find that the image symbol system and the meaning direction of Li'an 's "Juvenile School" have special production mechanism. First, from the perspective of director consciousness, the director's cultural background and the consistent theme of "humanity" in his works are one of the reasons for the emergence of the film. Secondly, from the western philosophical tradition, the discussion on the eternal theme of "humanity" in western philosophy has also become the cultural source of Ang Lee's "Juvenile School". Third, the drive of the world cultural environment. Film and TV literature, driven by the constant confluence of eastern and western cultures, is more keen to express the universal theme of "humanity".
