沈从文的小说注重描写人性的纯美和质朴,他一直着意在文本世界里构建希腊式“人性”的小庙,《萧萧》便是经典的一例。不过到了20世纪80年代,受制于意识形态的牵绊,电影《湘女萧萧》则将小说里对人性本然的描写悄悄做了位移,成了反思封建社会和人性的工具,湘西也被描绘成束缚人性的“铁屋子”。 Shen Congwen’s novel focuses on depicting the purity and simplicity of human nature. He always intended to construct a small temple of Greek “humanity” in the textual world. “Xiao Xiao” is a classic example. However, by the 1980s, subject to ideological stalemate, the film “Xiang Xiao Xiao Xiao” quietly shifted the portrayal of the natural human nature in the novel and became a tool to reflect on the feudal society and human nature. Xiangxi was also portrayed Into humanistic “iron house ”.
