《2046》懷舊的音軌

中文摘要

王家衛的《2046》呈現了60年代懷舊芬圍與後現代多語/音的未來科技世界，這兩種迥異的影/音像風格，使得他的電影充滿了的新舊相間的對立與矛盾。然而往日情懷與科幻想像的不連貫敘事影像美學，搭配適當的音樂與語言，可造成一種絕佳的影音戲劇魅力。本論文引用布西亞「物幻神迷」的科幻理論及詹明信等人「懷舊」論述來閱讀《2046》的影音魅力。簡而言之，《2046》中原創音樂、60年代的拉丁老歌、或歌劇襯托60年代及未來世界的氛圍外，更表現出過往與未來交織的複雜景象，表現出劇中人物失落於悲劇性的回憶迷惘中而不可自拔。導演在影片上呈現多國語言的口白及旁白和不同時代氛圍的音樂，似乎想在聽覺上與他的影像做一種既抗衡又互補的作用，點出那個無法訴說的時代懷舊情懷，營造香港律動的音符與不同的文化影像。

English Abstract

As one of the famous art film directors, Wang Kar-wei’s 2046 thraws expectation on the visual level through his use of music and language to build up his visual notes by juxtaposing the contrasted worlds of the nostalgic 60s and futuristic kingdom. His movie subverts certain widely accepted norms between the new and the old. This paper examines the intricacies driven by thematic issues as nostalgia, memory, and identity through the interplay of music, language, and visual images. Generally speaking, his visual motif works effectively in two ways, first, it emphasis on the passage of time as an elastic continuum filled with myriad perceptual possibilities, either be a futuristic era or nostalgic 60s. Second, it encourages the audience to contemplate the meaning of sound and its relation to the visual image. However, the sound could be music or language as it is so dynamically depicted in 2046. So the sound helps to undermine the ideological perception of time—and by extension, the foundation of genre of nostalgia.
