刺客聶隱娘揮非遊戲

《刺客聶隱娘》是臺灣導演侯孝賢執導的電影作品，英文片名為The Assassin，故事內容講述聶隱娘從事刺客刺殺活動的經歷和反省。題目中「揮非遊戲」是本文的研究目的，探討「殺人遊戲」雖然掛上「遊戲」一詞，但「殺人遊戲」的內涵，並不符合遊戲的本質，亦即探討刺客聶隱娘以從事殺人為任務的暗殺活動到脫離擔任刺客的經歷。揮非遊戲有二義，其一是揮別「非遊戲」，即談聶隱娘脫離不屬於玩遊戲的刺客生涯；其二是指一場揮別不是遊戲的遊戲，探討聶隱娘自覺自願脫離刺客任務的遊戲過程。本研究根據伯爾納德．舒茲《蚱蜢：遊戲、生命與烏托邦》（The Grasshopper: Games, Life, and Utopia, 2005）一書的理論，區辨什麼是「玩遊戲」，什麼則不是「玩遊戲」，並聚焦探討遊戲的本質、精神和價值；而後透過舒茲的遊戲理論，釐清刺客聶隱娘揮非遊戲的始末，窺探女主角聶隱娘的活動內涵是否符合舒茲定義下的「玩遊戲」，並以聶隱娘「揮非遊戲」之活動印證舒茲的遊戲理論。

The Assassin, a film directed by Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien, tells the story of Nie Yinniang's experience and reflection on the assassination. Although killing others might be called and regarded as game-playing, it does not conform to the essence of the game-playing. Therefore, the topic explores Nie Yinniang's experience and reflection of engaging in the assassination of murder and being an assassin. The purpose of this paper is to quest how to transform the non-game into the game-playing. There are two meanings of transforming the non-game into the game-playing. One is to leave the non-game, that is, to talk about Nie Yinniang's leaving from being an assassin whose mission does not belong to the game-playing. The other one is that leaving the non gameplaying is a game-playing, which explores the game-playing process in which Nie Yinniang voluntarily left the assassin mission. Through the game theory of Suits, this study clarifies the beginning and end of the game of The Assassin, observeing whether the activity of the heroine Nie Yinniang matches the game-playing defined by Suits. According to the theory in The Grasshopper: Games, Life, and Utopia, this paper distinguishes between game-playing and non-game, focusing on the essence, spirit and value of the game-playing, then confirming the game-playing theory through the experience of transforming the non-game into the game-playing by Nie Yinniang.
