从颠覆到重建--《西游降魔篇》对《大话西游》的反转见证对核心价值的诉求

摘要

A Chinese Odyssey and Journey to the West:Conquering the Demons might be seen as the mirror image of China's social ideology and mass psychology in the 1990 s and 2010 s respectively .As one of the most renowned cultural event in the 1990 s, A Chinese Odyssey triggered a revolution in both the ways of expression and value orientation .It has had a penetrating influence on people's daily life and changed a whole generation's way of thinking , their spiritual structure , and attitudes toward life .Journey to the West:Conquering the De-mons, which was produced 20 years later , tries instead to reconstruct moral values and spiritual belief on the ruins that A Chinese Odyssey has made.The values deconstructed in A Chinese Odyssey have been reaffirmed in this movie .The reversal of value orientation in the two films vividly mirrors the evolution of China's social psy-chology in the recent 20 years from deconstruction to construction , from subversion to reconstruction , and from nihilism to a renewed interest in faith .%《大话西游》、《西游降魔篇》可以分别被视为20世纪90年代和21世纪初中国社会意识形态和大众心理的镜像。作为20世纪90年代最引人注目的文化现象之一，《大话西游》引发了一场从语言表达方式到价值取向上的话语革命。它的影响渗透到大众的日常生活，改变了一代人的思维方式、心灵结构、生活态度。而20年后出现的《西游降魔篇》，则是一场在《大话西游》解构后的废墟上试图重建社会道德、理想、信念、信仰的努力，原先在《大话西游》中被拆解的价值，在此片中又被重新确认其意义。从《西游降魔篇》到《大话西游》在价值取向上的这种反转，极富象征性地体现出近20年来中国社会心态由解构到建构，由颠覆到重建，由价值虚无到价值期待的变化。
