Joshua Oppenheimer’s View of Humanity – Interpretation of >Killing Interpretation< and >Image of Silence< from the Perspective of Fromm [约书亚•奥本海默的人性观 - 弗洛姆视阈下的《杀戮演绎》《沉默之像》解读], Master thesis, Radio and Television Art, Northeast Normal University, Changchun, Jilin, China 2017 [application of Fromm's theories to art]

  • 古希腊神庙中刻着几个字——>认识你自己<。这是一个人类永恒探索并为之付出长久努力的话题。人通常最想了解也最难了解的就是>人<自身,它需要我们破除种族和文化差异的观念,将其放置在一个与世界诸多文明并行的环境中进行探究。《杀戮演绎》《沉默之像》正是在这种深沉的自我观照中,首次从施暴者和受害者两个视角对屠杀展开审视,将一个群体性的暴力事件呈现为直击人心的纪录片作品,犹如一枚硬币的两面,在杀戮者令人震惊的夸耀行为中追寻人性暴力的根源,又在受难者无奈的悲恐中探寻宽恕的真谛。导演将视角聚焦在半个世纪之前的那场屠杀,以历史灾难为叙述载体,以纪录片为话语媒介,折射当下人的生活品貌,表达自己对>人性<的思考。埃里希•弗洛姆作为西方伦理学的重要代表人物,一生中所涉猎的不同领域的研究都与>人<密切相关,都蕴含着对>人<的问题的深切关怀,主张>为了识别何为善、何为恶,就必须懂得人性<。弗洛姆的理论庞杂繁复,但却为我们提供了一种冷静、客观的视角来看待>人<,并最终获得了悟。本文旨在通过对《杀戮演绎》《沉默之像》文本的细读,引用弗洛姆的观点对其进行分析,试图破译潜藏在影像深处的密码,洞察导演内心深处的人性观。在弗洛姆的视阈下,奥本海默两部作品中的人物在病态的社会中走向迷失,也因为迷失的必然匮乏不得不通过救赎寻求认同,最终走出自我压抑的困顿,为扭曲的灵魂重新寻找出口。导演的思考冷峻中带着温度,主观但不偏激,在弗洛姆勾勒的理论世界里得以遇见,用那些细小的、留白的、碎片化的、讽刺的或者饶有意味的画面,跳出思考的模糊地带,直接展现人性最原始、多变的模样。
  • Ancient Greek temple is engraved with two words: >know yourself<, which is an old and eternal topic. The most difficult thing that people are eager to understand is to understand >humanity<, which requires a concept of wiping off racial as well as cultural differences, and doing research in an environment of various civilizations. Under the influence of this conception, the film The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence describes massacre for the first time from the points of view of both the killer and the victim, and makes a documentary film to present mass incidents in a more direct way. This direct way, acting like both sides of a coin, can seek for not only the original source of violence from killer’s act of killing, but also the true essence from the victim’s sorrows. Directors of the two films mentioned above focus on the massacre which happened fifty years before, take historical disaster as narrative carrier and documentary as media discourse, reflect daily lives of human beings, and consider the essence of humanity. As an important representative in Western Ethics, Erich Fromm conducts various research that are closely related to >humanity<, and holds the opinion that if one wants to distinguish between good and evil, he has to understand >humanity<. Fromm’s theory is much complicated, however, it provides us with a dispassionate and objective perspective to observe humanity and eventually understand it. Thus, this essay analyzes the texts of the two films mentioned above with Fromm’s theory, aiming at deciphering the code that is deeply hidden in the film as well as grasping the view of humanity within the directors. From the perspective of Fromm, the characters in two works of Oppenheimer lose humanity in the sick society, and have to get it back through redemption. Eventually, they get rid of self-repression and find new directions of their lives and souls. Directors are dispassionate, objective but not extreme. They use tiny, white, fragmented, satire and interesting pictures to express the original and fickle appearance of humanity. [Author’s translation]
