2 A Glimpse of the Article

北京的世界公园缩建了来自世界各地的建筑瑰宝。游客可以一日之内环游世界而不必离开北京。《世界》讲述的是几个农村来的年轻人在世界公园里的工作与生活。女主角小桃是公园舞蹈团的演员,在和男友太生吵架后坐上了回世界公园的公交车。

为了更好刻画小桃漂泊无依的心境,贾樟柯将真实场景与动画结合起来,以呈现小桃与周围世界的微妙关系。该场景为连续拍摄,摄像头从左至右摇摄展现公交车上的陈设。车上的电视正在播放世界公园的广告(图1)。

To offer the viewer a more nuanced portrait of Tao’s unsettled mind, Jia combines live action with animation to project her delicate negotiation with the world around her. The scene begins as a continuous take, panning from right to left to index the objective conditions of time and space on public transportation. A TV screen is airing a commercial for the World Park (Figure 1).

电视的背景音乐是贝多芬的《欢乐颂》,这台小电视让观众联想到电子设备支配着我们生活的方方面面,屏幕尺寸的大小也影响着我们对幻想和现实的感知。宏伟壮阔的世界公园在屏幕中显得单调乏味,毫无乐趣。运用长镜头跟摄,相机慢慢向左移动,捕捉到小桃沉思着望向窗外的轮廓(图2)。

With Beethoven’s "Ode to Joy" blaring in the ad, the small TV reminds the audience of how electronic devices dominate every facet of our existence and how different screen sizes scale our perceptions of fantasy and reality. Despite its promised grandiosity, the monitor presents a diminished view of the Park that seems more mind-numbing than entertaining. With a long tracking shot, Jia’s camera slowly moves to the left to capture the profile of a pensive Tao looking out of the window (Figure 2).

这里的中景镜头给了观众足够的感受空间,忧郁的风和漆黑的夜加深了小桃的屈辱感。当镜头连续拍摄时,路边的围栏和天安门城楼上的肖像让观众更加关注到现实。尽管观众看不到小桃脸上的表情,但她肢体语言表明她对自己摇摇欲坠的现状感到厌倦。公交车的行驶路线就像公园内的观光车,她每天都要往返两地通勤。因此,小桃根本没有“去处”。接着她收到了太生发来的信息,她的手机屏幕亮了起来,上面写着:“看你往哪儿跑?”(图3)。

The mid-shot reveals a brooding figure, giving the audience just enough room to feel how the melancholic wind and the darkening night deepen her sense of humiliation. As Jia’s camera takes the audience for a ride in a continuous shot, the fence and Mao’s portrait in Tiananmen Square sharpen our focus on enclosure and surveillance. Even though Tao’s face is largely hidden from the viewer’s scrutiny, her dejected body language suggests that she is weary of her own precarity. The bus is driven on a circular route similar to the tourist train in the Park that Tao takes every day to commute between sites. Hence her aspiration for "going places"leads to nowhere, because her destination and departure are one and the same. As her world continues to stagnate, a message from Taisheng lights up her cellphone screen: “How far can you go?” (Figure 3).

图3:短信的动画图像

这是影片中第一次将实景转化为动画。这种卡通化的图像,虽然是虚拟的,却包含着真实的威胁的含义。太生的真正意思是“让我们看看你还能去哪儿”。太生是公园保安队的负责人,他可以使用所有的追踪工具来监视小桃。这里的动画看起来似乎怪诞离奇,却与小桃的现实困境相呼应。如果中景镜头中的实景表现小桃的坚忍与神秘,那么动画则将她的思想从时间,空间和逻辑的约束中解放出来,充分地展现了她的想象……

This is the first time that Jia turns live action into animation. This cartoonish image, however virtual, contains a real threat. “Let’s see where you can go!” is a more literal translation of Taisheng’s message. As the head of the Park’s security team, he has access to all the stalking tools to spy on Tao. As surreal as it seems, the animation makes Tao’s real-life predicament appear all the more tangible and relatable. If a realistic representation in the medium shot shows Tao’s stoicism, keeping everything to herself, the use of animation frees her thought from the constraints of time, space, and logic, revealing more fully what she imagines.
