【電影記憶:不曾遺忘的歷史 Reels of History: In Memory of White Terror】

 

1989年,電影《悲情城市》上映,打破噤聲,在歷經長達38年集體失語的戒嚴年代後,首次以影像重新回應228的悲劇事件以及白色恐怖,也開啟了一連串以電影作為媒介,在歷史的廢墟中拼湊記憶,表達難以言明的創傷經驗,建立另一種歷史敘事的行動。適逢《悲情城市》數位版的重映,TFAI也選映了侯孝賢的《好男好女》(1995),以及萬仁的《超級大國民》(1995),透過再次觀看這三部作品,見證電影如何轉化與再詮釋歷史傷痛,一起反思創傷記憶所帶來的影響。

Hou Hsiao-hsien's City of Sadness (1989) is the first film that breaks the silence to represent the tragic fate and political trauma of Taiwanese people caused by the 228 incident and the White Terror during the over 38-year-long consecutive martial law period. TFAI shows this groundbreaking film together with Hou’s Good Men, Good Women (1995) and Wan Jen’s Super Citizen Ko (1995), reflecting on the traumatic memory and enduring pain experienced by the victims and survivors in history.

1945年,日本戰敗是日,基隆林家有喜,大哥文雄喜獲一子,取名光明。然而命運乖舛,台灣因二二八事件實施戒嚴,迎來幽暗時刻,林家兄弟亦各自遭遇不幸。此片為侯孝賢導演的「台灣三部曲」之首,也是台灣首次在威尼斯影展獲得首獎。影片展現出導演的蛻變,以個人勾勒大時代悲緒、挑戰歷史題材,奠定台灣新電影的藝術地位。

 

The film portrays the misfortune of the Lin family who are caught into the conflicts with the immigrants from China at a time when the Japanese regime is replaced by the KMT government. It’s an unprecedented representation of such a taboo subject as the 228 incident and also a reflection of the political trauma of the ordinary people. The film is the first film of Hou’s trilogy of Taiwan.
