《电影或想象的人》从影像中主体欲望与现实关系入手,凸显人类主观精神介入电影的深度和广度,这在纪实美学占据主流的当时具有“反道而行”的价值。它从人类学和精神分析学的角度重新阐释电影,认为电影被“想象”充满,是根深蒂固的人类精神的倒影式摹本。这本书试图超越电影与现实关系的基本论域,显示出由经典电影理论向现代电影理论转型的趋势。 “The movie or the imagined person” starts with the relationship between the subject’s desires and reality in the images, and highlights the depth and breadth of the human subjective spirit involved in the movie. This has the value of “going counter” when the documentary aesthetics prevails. It reinterprets the film from the perspective of anthropology and psychoanalysis, believing that the film is filled with “imagination” and is a reflection-like copy of the deeply rooted human spirit. The book attempts to go beyond the basic discourse of the relationship between film and reality and shows a shift from classical film theory to modern film theory.
