臺灣的社會變遷－以《飲食男女》為例
Social Changes in Taiwan - Taking "Eat Drink Man Woman" as an Example
摘要
《飲食男女》作為李安導演的父親三部曲之一，電影中對於父親角色演繹可說是淋漓盡致，本文嘗試用電影背景時代探討1994年的臺北社會變遷背景，以及電影中的世代衝突，當時的臺灣適逢民主化歷程，許多具有威權色彩的東西都逐漸式微，例如主角老朱所擔任的中餐餐廳主廚人才逐漸凋零。以及變化中的臺北市容、臺北未發展的地方、當時未立的法規等等，都可從電影當中發現到。主要是將角色人物放在大都市中去作背景描述，一窺當時正在變遷中的臺北社會，這些變遷也使得人們逐漸忙碌，生活步調變快，時常無法陪在父母身邊，但也因為中西文化交流之故，電影中臺灣90年代中的「父慈子孝」傳統儒家價值鬆動，子女不再一定要照顧父母之外，那老人所面對的因為失能，而使得自尊降低的問題，這些都是都市化所存在的隱憂，但儘管如此，孝順本質還是存在的，只是換成不同形式而已了。觀念思想上不只影響了年輕一代的人，連最後最保守傳統的老朱也作出了看似「離經叛道」娶嫩妻的決定，可以說是現代社會變化所產生的觀念轉換。

As one of Lee Ang's Father Trilogy, "Eat Drink Man Woman" delivers a profound portrayal of father figures in the film. This paper attempts to explore the societal changes in Taipei in 1994, the era depicted in the movie. Taiwan was undergoing democratization during this period, gradually phasing out many authoritarian elements. For instance, the decline in talent, such as the head chef position held by the protagonist, Old Chu, in a Chinese restaurant, reflects this transformation. Additionally, Taipei's changing urban landscape, undeveloped areas, and evolving regulations at that time can all be observed in the film. The characters are placed against the backdrop of a metropolitan city to provide a glimpse into Taipei's societal changes during this period of transition. These changes led people to become increasingly busy, accelerating the pace of life, often leaving them unable to spend time with their parents. Due to cultural exchanges between East and West, traditional Confucian values in 1990s Taiwan, such as filial piety ("father's love and son's respect"), began to loosen. Children were no longer necessarily obligated to care for their parents. The issue of diminished self-esteem due to disability faced by the elderly reflects the hidden concerns of urbanization. Despite these changes, the essence of filial piety persists, albeit in different forms. These ideological shifts not only influenced the younger generation but also prompted even the most conservative and traditional Old Chu to make decisions seemingly deviating from tradition, such as marrying a younger wife. This illustrates the conceptual transformation brought about by modern societal changes.
