電影作品《泳漾》創作論述

《泳漾》這部短片故事主要講述一個自卑的胖子和過氣的游泳國手，為了各自的生存和慾望，開始了一段意外的游泳課程，他們如何在這冰冷的夜間泳池裡相互扶持，激盪出人性的暖意。筆者在以喜劇手法來處理小人物受困於環境的無奈。以人最根本的生存和慾望作為敘事的架構。在這名為「大海洋」的小泳池裡，敘述一個關於「受困」和「掙脫」的寓言故事，希望透過這部片反映出台灣在國際大環境下的困境、無奈和反省。本論述一部分從自身處境的隱喻作為作品概念的切入以及古典敘事與三幕劇來檢視劇本；另一方面則從本片類型、調性、表演、攝影、燈光、美術設計、聲音設計等方面來檢視本作品的風格與美學。以及全片製作執行過程與檢討。

並列摘要

"The Pool Man" is a story about a fat boy who is inferiority complex longing for love; a national swimmer struggling to retain past glory. How will they inspire each other and head for a better life? This Short film deals with the story of some nobodies helplessly trapped in their living circumstances using a composed, objective and comic approach. The narrative is based on survival and love, two of the most essential elements in one's life. In a small swimming pool named the "Big Ocean," a fable about "feeling trapped" and "struggling to set free" takes place. I hope that this film shows the predicaments, helplessness and self-reflections of Taiwan as it is often rejected by the international community. This eassy attempts to ezamine the script of "The Pool man" with classic paradigm, three-act structure and genre of comedy. On the other hand, by the discuss of genre, tone, photography, lighting, art decoration and performance, we could build up the style and aesthetics of "The Pool man".
