浅析奥斯卡影片中的圣经主题_英语论文

An Analysis of Biblical Themes of Oscar-winning Movies 

摘要

圣经是基督教最重要的著作，也是西方宗教文化的瑰宝，因此圣经元素出现在电影艺术中已经成为电影创作的一大趋势。在许多奥斯卡经典影片中，圣经元素成为了影片的点睛之笔，例如：阿甘正传，绿里奇迹，肖生克的救赎等等。圣经对奥斯卡电影主题的影响主要表现在两个方面，第一是圣经的内容本身对电影主题的影响；第二是圣经所倡导的精神道德理念对电影主题的影响，例如：仁慈，博爱，救赎等。总的来说圣经主题的电影可以分为三类。第一类电影是对圣经故事的重现；第二类电影，故事来源于圣经，导演在拍摄时进行了改编与加工；第三类电影故事情节与圣经故事不同，但影片中却包含了圣经元素。本文主要结合奥斯卡经典影片对圣经元素对电影主题的影响进行分析，从而让更多人了解圣经主题的电影。
