兒童成長故事中的魔法教育: 王小棣的《魔法阿嬤》
Magical Grandma’s Magical Guidance in the Coming-of-Age Story: Wang Xiao Dee’s Grandma and her Ghosts
摘要
由王小棣執導的《魔法阿嬤》(1989)是台灣第一部動畫作品，內容腳本根據編劇黃黎明的母親與其姪子兩代間的相處問題為題材發想，安排劇中人物在接觸一連串的鬼月慶典以及鬼怪經驗，最後達成兩代之間的和諧，並且主角-豆豆(Dou-Dou)也在其中獲得啟發與成長，進而又被視為一生命成長故事! 本文旨在探討:導演王小棣如何應用魔幻寫實的策略，呈現多元的生命型態；魔法阿嬤的道姑身分如何開拓豆豆的生命觀；魔法阿嬤如何以魔法和身教引導豆豆去愛人和身旁的土地，以及魔法阿嬤和豆豆如何接觸閾限(liminality) 開拓生命視野；阿嬤的魔法教育如何引導兒童成長的故事。此外，阿嬤的魔法教育也以有趣的情節和觀點帶領觀眾重溫台灣的鬼月習俗以及其中令人動容的人鬼情誼。即便此片被視為金馬影展最大遺珠，然而《魔法阿嬤》所帶給觀眾的懷舊情懷、台灣文化認同以及兩代溝通議題，卻已遠遠超出榮獲此獎的價值，而其影響力不增反減，反而成為每年鬼月電視台必播的經典!
並列摘要
Grandma and her Ghosts (1989) directed by Wang Xiao Dee is the first animation film in Taiwan. The story is inspired by the interaction between the mother of the scriptwriter, Huang Li-Ming and Huang’s nephew. Wang further dramatizes the story with Ghost Month ceremonies and the ghosts. As a result, the protagonist Dou-Dou has reconciled with his grandma and grown up as a brave, sympathetic and caring boy under grandma’s magical guidance. In this respect, the film is regarded as a coming-of-age story. This thesis will investigate this film from the following directions: How does Director Wang represent the coexistence of various forms of life through the style of magic realism? How does Grandma guide Dou-Dou to love the land and the people through her magical practices and virtuous behaviors in daily life? How does Grandma perform the double role as of Grandma and the Taoist shaman in Ghost Month to expand Dou-Dou’s perspective of the world? How do the liminal entities bridge different worlds across the boundary between life and death, transforming Grandma and Dou-Dou into supernatural beings? In addition, Magical Grandma’s magic guides the spectators to review the custom of the Ghost Month in Taiwan and to rethink the communication between the living and the deceased. Although Grandma and her Ghosts has not won Golden Horse Awards then, the sense of nostalgia towards Taiwanese indigenous culture and generation issues in this film make it a landmark in Taiwan’s animation film. It has exerted its influence that it has been regularly broadcasted in the Ghost Month almost every year since its release.
