電影作品《放•逐愛》創作論述
A Critique Essay on the Film Work Go for Love
摘要
自筆者2009年的作品《寧靜的騷動》探討中學生的同性之愛後，在這次製作畢業影片《放•逐愛》時再次呈現愛情的不同面相、不被社會 「允許」的愛。 《放•逐愛》是有關年輕女子雯，幼時因父親外遇造成她對愛情存有錯誤觀念而成爲第三者。後來當她意識到自己從婚外情的受害者轉成加害者時，她的内在認知出現了衝突。在解決衝突的過程中，雯放下這段逾越社會倫理的關係，重建對愛的正確認知，進而化開過往對父母的誤解。 爲了讓故事更真實，筆者特地向曾是第三者，與曾經歷丈夫外遇的朋友進行訪談。内容包括婚外情的開始、過程與情感終結等細節；從懷疑丈夫偷情，到原諒對方的心路歷程。同時筆者也參考臺灣與大陸針對外遇的心靈諮商網站的個案。最後，筆者借用精神分析專家榮格的戀母情結，作爲人物的心理基礎，試圖具體刻畫人物内在矛盾。 雖然這是部30分鐘短片，但筆者在敍事結構上仍參考「三幕劇」，即是「鋪陳—建立衝突—化解」這三個步驟。本片屬於戲劇類型(drama film)，因此在表演與鏡頭設計上採用寫實手法，以強調人物情感衝突與成長。 整體檢討起來《放•逐愛》所探討的人物心理與情感關係還是比較個人層面。本片缺乏對外遇行爲在道德、社會與法律上進行討論，若能增加上述元素，或許故事會更具張力。
並列摘要
Go for Love focuses on another dimension of love which is prohibited in the eyes of society. This short film tells a story of a young lady whose wrong perspective on relationship was aggravated when her father was involved in an extra-marital affair. Her eagerness to be loved made her a third party to a married couple. As a victim of unhealthy relationship of her father, unwittingly she transmits the same bad experiences she went through to another young child. Guilt causes her inner conflict. To overcome this, she learns to let go and find her way through. Along the way, she learned more about her parents and made significant break-through in addressing some issues and misunderstandings she had with them. In order to give credence to this story, the author interviewed a few people who had been a third party in a relationship and also a lady who was a victim of her husband’s extra-marital affair. They shared about how the affair started, the emotions surrounding their relationship and how it ended up. In addition, an interviewee also related how she became suspicious of her husband’s extra-marital affair. Apart from interviews, the author surfed the internet to learn more about extra-marital affairs. To develop a strong character, the author referred the concept of mother-complex from psychoanalyst Carl G. Jung . Although this is a short film, the script structure follows the classical “three-act play” meaning, “the first act of set up, the second act of confrontation, and the third act of resolution.” The genre of this film is drama, therefore the acting and the entire production is represented in realism, which enforces the conflict and growth in the character.
