从电影《穿靴子的猫》看美国动画电影中的英雄主义

Heroism in American Cartoon Movie Reflected in Puss in Boots

摘要

上个世纪30世纪开始，美国英雄主义电影开始风靡。在近百年的发展中，美国电影制作者创造了许许多多的英雄人物形象，为美国人民和世界人民所喜爱。这类电影中都包含着一个共同的核心：美国个人英雄主义思想。美国倡导个人通过努力完成卓越的“美国梦”，宣扬个人的独立和自由理念。但随着时代发展，人们的观影需求逐渐发生了变化，战无不胜、所向披靡的英雄已经为观众所厌烦，于是导演结合了三个欧洲经典童话创造出《穿靴子的猫》中靴猫不同以往的英雄形象，让观众耳目一新。

笔者使用内容分析和文献研究方法，将从英雄的定义入手，梳理美国英雄主义电影的发展脉络，并着重分析《穿靴子的猫》是如何表达英雄主义内涵的。靴猫层次丰富、玲珑多面的性格特质使其成为电影中的圆形人物；“三幕剧”理论的运用又使得《穿靴子的猫》在传递英雄主义核心理念时更加生动自然、易于接收；导演创造性地将美国西部牛仔文化和西班牙弗朗明哥元素相融合，一方面使得电影在充满牛仔潇洒气质的同时，因为弗朗明哥元素的加入而显得暴力气氛浓郁；另一方面又丰富了靴猫的英雄形象，从以往的硬汉变为浪漫多情、细腻神秘的人物，让英雄主义的表达方式更为多样化。
