從儀式隱喻到現實書寫——《破．地獄》的敘事策略與文化再解讀
From Ritual Metaphor to Realistic Narrative: The Narrative Strategies and Cultural Reinterpretation in The Last Dance
摘要
本文以香港殯葬電影《破．地獄》為研究對象，探討其通過儀式隱喻與敘事策略，實現傳統文化與現代社會議題交匯的藝術表達。文章從四個方面解析影片。首先，從隱喻本質分析“破地獄”這一核心意象，闡釋其如何通過儀式化表現實現物質與精神的超越。其次，通過葬禮情節的分層敘述，剖析角色的情感救贖與成長，展現傳統價值觀與現代情感需求的交織與沖突。第三，聚焦影片中的社會議題，揭示影片對現實主義主題的探索。最後，從類型片敘事規律出發，探討影片如何借助殯葬題材類型元素，通過現代性講述實現對傳統文化的創新解讀。研究發現，影片不僅以葬禮與儀式為線索探討生命與死亡的哲學主題，還通過敘事揭示了傳統行業、倫理束縛以及社會偏見的突破，實現了從儀式隱喻到現實書寫的藝術表達與文化再解讀。

This article examines the Hong Kong funeral-themed film 'The Last Dance', exploring its artistic expression at the intersection of traditional culture and modern societal issues through ritual metaphors and narrative strategies. The analysis is divided into four sections. First, it examines the metaphorical essence of the central image, "Breaking Hell," explaining how ritualized representation transcends the material and the spiritual. Second, it analyzes the layered depiction of funeral scenes to unpack the characters' emotional redemption and growth, highlighting the interplay between traditional values and modern emotional needs. Third, it focuses on the film's engagement with social issues, uncovering its deep exploration of realist themes. Lastly, it discusses how the film employs elements of the funeral genre to reinterpret traditional culture innovatively through modern storytelling. The study concludes that the film uses funerals and rituals to explore philosophical themes of life and death while breaking through traditional industry norms, ethical constraints, and social biases, achieving a transition from ritual metaphors to realistic narratives in both artistic expression and cultural reinterpretation.
