電影劇本《車牌仔》創作論述

《車牌仔》為筆者根據真人真事發想的原創劇本，故事發生的時間橫跨45年，由現代與過去兩條敘事軸線交叉進行，透過男女主角45年後補辦喜宴的這一天，巧妙回溯兩人從年輕到老的婚姻歷程與家庭冷暖。本劇以寫實、溫馨、感人、幽默的劇情為走向，取景、對白以台灣純樸的鄉土風情為主。並且突破「順敘」結構的三幕劇，而試圖以時空交錯重新架構三幕劇的起承轉合，使之具有紀錄片真實感、也具有懷舊電影的特色。 60年代的流行服飾、誇張美感，是本片開場所揭示的主要風格；接著70年代的樸實簡約，恰能承擔沈重感人的故事情節，其間穿插當代的現身說法，交織出濃郁的鄉土味。這不僅是寫給台灣人看的劇本，更期待是拍給全球華人看的電影。論述內容詳細說明本劇的創作緣由與撰寫歷程，回顧相關文獻提出「堅毅不拔的台灣傳統女性」之題材闡述；接著，從類型論述中分析本劇的類型色彩，並比較相關電影的處理手法；然後，對於本劇的敘事結構與角色性格，做系統分析探討；最後對本劇的未來期待，做實務上的報告與規劃。

"Bus Stop" is the film script of a true story. The script opens with a belated wedding banquet and traces the couples’ ups and downs in their married life. The story line, forty-five years of it, includes threads of the past brought to light in the present. The script is realistic. It possesses a warm, touching and humorous tone in its representation of the local atmosphere and the landscape of Taiwan. The native Taiwanese dialogue is authentic. It is also innovative in that it replaces the traditional linear three-act structure with an interlinking narrative wandering through different time zones and places. In so doing the storyline endows the movie with two distinct artistic voices: the realistic style of a documentary film and the characteristics of a nostalgic and engaging movie. The opening scenes of the film are deliberately exaggerated into a composition of the 1960s beauty fashion. Thereafter, the simplistic style of 1970s distinguishes the emotional plots, accompanied by the narrative as subplots, building a strong feeling of folkways. It is a film for Taiwanese as well as for wider strata of Chinese communities. This critique illustrates the inspiration and writing process of this script in a literature review and discusses the subject “persistent Taiwanese traditional women,” locating the script in specific genres comparing it with related works of that genre. The critique also adopts a systemic analysis on the narrative structure and characters and pragmatically shows the prospective plan and schedule of this project.
