论文部分内容阅读
R.H.W.迪拉德的这篇文章作为重点论文刊登在《电影学报》“恐怖片艺术专集”(1973年第2期)上,它本是一篇论文的结尾部分,那篇论文还谈到环球影片公司的《科学怪人》和《狼人》。迪拉德对《活尸之夜》的分析是对一部恐怖片最早的,而且也是最有说服力的仔细读解之一;同时,因为乔治·A.罗梅罗的这部影片在当代恐怖片的发展过程中无疑是一部初始作品,所以它更值得注意。迪拉德认为,对《活尸之夜》的“本文原素和结构元素”进行一次分析,我们就可以发现该片的“美学特征”和“道德本质”。罗梅罗表现的是普通事物,他深感“人类之弱小”并贬低“我们整个文明中绝大部分最珍贵的准则”——迪拉德对这些方面的分析读起来时常像是预告了当代恐怖片从罗梅罗到《得克萨斯链锯杀人案》、《左边的最后一幢房》和《疯狂》等影片的发展方向。迪拉德在恐怖片研究方面的其他重要论著有:“甚至一个心底纯洁的人:恐怖片中的诗意和危险”(收在《人类与电影》一书中，W.R.罗宾森编)和《恐怖片》。他是弗吉尼亚州霍林斯学院的英语教授兼写作课程的主任.著有四本诗集(其中包括《致意:新诗选》)、两部小说(最新的一本名为《太阳上的第一人》)和一本短篇小说集(《无所不在的恐惧》)。
This article from RHW Dillard was published as a keynote paper in The Cinematography, “Horror Film Art Collection,” Issue 2, 1973. It was the end of an essay that also covered Universal Pictures The company’s “Frankenstein” and “Werewolf.” Dillard’s analysis of The Living Dead is one of the earliest and most persuasive interpretations of a horror film; at the same time, because George A. Romero’s film is contemporary The development of horror film is undoubtedly an initial work, so it is more noteworthy. According to Dillard, we can find out the “aesthetic characteristics” and the “moral essence” of the film by analyzing the “elements and elements of the paper” of “The Living Dead”. Romero shows ordinary things, he is deeply “human weak” and belittles “the most precious criteria of our entire civilization.” - Analysis of these aspects by Dillard is often read like a foretaste of contemporary Horror films from Romero to the Texas Chainsaw murder case, “the last left room” and “crazy” and other film development. Other important works by Dillard in the study of horror films include “Even a Pure Heart: Poeticity and Danger in Horror Movies” (in WR Robinson in “Man and the Movie”) and “Horror Movies ”. He is a professor of English and writing course at Hollins College in Virginia and has four books (including “Compliments: New Poetry”), two novels (the latest being “First on the Sun Man ”) and a collection of short stories (“ Ubiquitous Fear ”).
