宗教文化是电影文化中常见的元素。电影宗教文化元素本质上是一种信息,蕴含宗教文化元素的影片常常有其独特的品质。无论是为了探索宗教文化元素在影片中的创意本质和规律,以保证电影产业自身的健康发展;还是为了研究引导宗教文化在中国特色社会主义文化产业中发挥积极作用的具体途径,以保证国家对电影文化产业的科学管理,都应当研究电影中的宗教文化元素问题。而要进行更有效的探索和研究,需要全面地多学科地展开。电影是科学技术发展到一定高度后的产物,是一种综合性艺术。电影制片不仅包括材料、技术、金融、数字信息等物质性因素,还包括诸多文化性元素。电影文化元素中,宗教文化元素是较为独特和复杂的,尤其是当电影已经“成为当代宗教文化的一种新的表现形态”~[1](p.122)时,关于宗教文化元素的科学研究就愈发重要了。对此,不少学者已经从类型电影的角度展开,取得了成果。不过,揭示影片中的宗教文化元素本质及其规律,从而为相关电影产业发展提供科学理论基础,单一的研究方法还显得不足,路亦还很长。 Religious culture is a common element in film culture. Film The element of religious culture is essentially a message, and films that embody religious and cultural elements often have their own distinctive qualities. Whether it is to explore the nature and law of the creative elements of the religious and cultural elements in the film in order to ensure the healthy development of the film industry itself or to study the specific ways in which religious culture can play an active role in the cultural industry with Chinese characteristics so as to ensure that the state The scientific management of film culture industry should all study the religious and cultural elements in the movie. To conduct more effective exploration and research, it needs to be comprehensively and multidisciplinary. Film is a product of the development of science and technology to a certain height. It is a kind of comprehensive art. Film production not only includes materials, technology, finance, digital information and other material factors, but also includes many cultural elements. Among the elements of the film culture, the elements of religious culture are more unique and complex, especially when the film has become “a new manifestation of contemporary religious culture” [1] (p.122) The scientific research is more and more important. In this regard, many scholars have started from the perspective of type film, and achieved results. However, revealing the nature of religious and cultural elements in the film and its laws, so as to provide the scientific theoretical basis for the development of the related film industry, a single research method is also inadequate, the road is still long.
