粗略地看,“老上海”在中国电影中的出场方式历经了这样一条变迁轨迹:从社会写实的历史还原与道德评价,到政治层面的政治定性,到抽离历史在场和时代真实的文化怀旧与“乱世”想象。在此过程中,“老上海”从清晰的影像显影到模糊的历史印迹,甚至是抽象的“乱世风云”残迹,其中折射的不仅是时代风云的变幻,更有社会人心的变迁,以及中国电影工业本身的变革。 Roughly speaking, the appearance of “Old Shanghai ” in Chinese films has undergone such a change from the historic reduction and moral evaluation of social realism to the political characterization at the political level, to the separation from the presence of history and the real Cultural nostalgia and “chaos ” imagination. In this process, “Old Shanghai” has been developed from a clear image to a blurry historical impression or even an abstract “chaotic situation”, in which the refraction is not only a change in the times but also a social change , As well as the transformation of China’s film industry itself.
