娱乐化改编与喜剧艺术的退化

摘要

The art of comedy has its own standards of excellence and the best of comedies should combine the comic spirit and comic thought.In the context of consumer culture, adaptation with a view to entertainment deconstructs original works and adds to them stiff and vulgar jokes which are inconsistent with plot and character and incline to vulgarization.Such en-tertainment-oriented adaptation deviates from the true comic thought and forfeits the comic spirit.As a result, the art of com-edy retrogrades from its lofty, serious maturity to its early inferior stage of jesting and buffoonery.%喜剧艺术有其优劣高下的评判标准，最优秀的喜剧作品应该兼具喜剧精神和喜剧思维。在消费文化语境下，娱乐化改编以解构的态度对待原著，生硬添加笑料和噱头，不仅与剧情和人物性格不合，而且有粗鄙化的倾向。娱乐化改编只看重“笑”的娱乐功能，其实质是对喜剧思维的偏离，丧失了真正的喜剧精神，使喜剧艺术从高雅严肃的成熟状态回到了早期热衷滑稽、打闹的幼稚阶段，呈现出“螺旋式”倒退的现象。
