少年已老─—试析悲壮意识在陈凯歌及其电影中的流变

陈凯歌是“第五代”电影人中最才华横溢、学贯古今的一位。从很大程度上来说 ,陈凯歌也因此是其中自觉历史文化责任感最强的一位。从“文革”情结到骨子里对商业电影的蔑视(不愿“同流合污”的困境 ) ,陈凯歌的大部分影片中都表现出强烈的悲壮意识。然而今天终于“穷途末路”的陈凯歌居然也低下了他高贵的头 ,开始向他作为文人一向不耻的商业体系和主导意识形态全面投诚 ,也许这才是构成陈凯歌艺术人生的最大悲剧。

Analysis of the changing of bitterness and solemnness of Chen-Kaige and in his movies

As one of “the fifth generation of the Chinese movie", Chen-Kaige is always regarded for his literate talent. And he also thinks himself as a poet who has the responsibility to exalt Chinese traditional culture. But because of his bitter feelings about the “Chinese Cultural Revolution" and the reality most of his movies pay little attention to box-office, his works are always embodied with bitterness and solemnness.Today, Chen-Kaige seems to have reversed himself. He begins to work at pure commercial Hollywood-type movies sand official MTVs. Maybe that is the biggest tragedy in his life as an artist.
