摘要

《世界末日的誕生日》是一部關於父女親情的電影短片。本片是筆者作為導演，
與編劇林涵小姐共同創作的作品。
生活裡有許多讓人以為此刻就是世界末日的情緒起伏，我們經歷這些大起大落的
時刻，深陷其中，總覺得完了、夢想破滅了⋯但其實明天總是會到來。因此我想講述
「一個人的世界末日」的故事，從遭遇生命的重大挫折、面對現在與未來的手足無措，
經由父女之間的溝通傾訴解開心結，進而重新找到前行的力量與勇氣。
本片主要的劇情為：準備了許久，就在即將出國留學完成夢想的時候，小愛意外
發現自己懷孕了，慌亂的她回到父親獨居的老宅，想尋求父親的幫助。好久不見的父
女兩人共進晚餐，小愛才發現今天是父親的生日。藉著晚上幫父親慶生的機會，小愛
想把懷孕的事告訴爸爸，還沒開口卻沒想到父親也有秘密想要告訴她。聽完父親出櫃
的告白，小愛在驚訝的同時，也領悟到每個人的生命都有自己需要去承擔的重量。看
著開心的爸爸，小愛沒有把懷孕的事說出來，而是選擇自己一人往前路走去。
本片以寫實的攝影與表演風格，來呈現角色的內心轉折。本論述的內容為闡述創
作本片的靈感來源與創作的思考過程，以及對影像美學的表現手法進行分析與反省。

“The Birth” is a short film about a father-daughter relationship. The author of the
original story, who also served as the director of the film, created this collaborative work
with Ms. Han Lin.
Many disturbing stresses in life make people feel Armageddon is happening at this
very moment. We could not escape ourselves from being drowned in these emotional tidal
waves, and we could not help think hope is gone and dream is broken. However, tomorrow
will always be here. Therefore, I want to describe the story of “Armageddon in a person”
which conveys the lack of confidence and faith when facing the present and the future in
life’s enormous and severe frustrations. Through the communication between the father and
daughter, the story shows the courage of finding the power and courage of moving forward.
The main plot began with that Little Ai just learned she got pregnant right before she
has long prepared herself to leave the country and study overseas. Worried and panicked,
she returned to the old house that her father lives alone to seek his assistance. As they were
having dinner for the first time after a while, Little Ai just realized it was her father’s
birthday. She wanted to reveal the pregnancy to him during his birthday celebration.
Surprisingly, before she had a chance to speak in this regard, he confessed the secret that he
has been a homosexual. Immersed in all the astonishing surprises, Little Ai understood
everyone has to bear different weighs on his or her own shoulders in life. Looking at her
happy father, she chose not to share the pregnancy and dealt with it by herself.
This film illustrates the storyline with realistic photography and acting styles in order
to vividly present the complex emotional twitch in characters. The content of this
description points out the originality and process of innovation of this film, and furthermore
it analyzes and criticizes the methods of presenting image aesthetics.
