论电影与文学艺术的交互影响本科英语专业毕业论文

INTERACTIONOFMOVIEANDLITERARYARTANALYSISOFTHEFILMANDSTORYOFBREAKFASTATTIFFANYS摘要本文以蒂凡尼早餐为例，分析了该小说与在其基础上改编而成的同名电影之间的交互影响。本文首先分析了小说的主要内容并对主要人物及故事情节进行了研究，然后就电影艺术手段如何对小说进行艺术处理这一问题进行了深入分析，最后阐明了文学与电影的交互影响作为一种静态艺术，文学通过文字叙述为读者搭建想象空间来传达情感和展现故事与人物，而作为动态艺术的电影却将情景、人物等文学要素通过影像呈现出来，对文学信息进行直观的视觉反映。尽管这两种艺术形式各不相同，它们却相互交织，相互影响。文学对电影产生着深远的影响，电影对文学进程亦有推动作用。关键词蒂凡尼早餐；文学；电影；交互影响ABSTRACTTAKINGBREAKFASTATTIFFANYSFOREXAMPLE,THISTHESISANALYZESTHEINTERACTIONBETWEENTHESTORYANDITSCOGNOMINALFILMFIRSTTHETHESISANALYZESTHEMAINCONTENTOFTHESTORYASWELLASTHECHARACTERSANDTHEPLOTSAFTERTHATITDISCUSSESTHEISSUETHATHOWFILMDEALSWITHTHELITERARYINFORMATIONUSINGITSOWNARTISTICFEATSLASTBUTNOTTHELEAST,ITISFOCUSEDONINTERACTIONBETWEENLITERATUREANDFILMASASTATIONARYART,LITERATUREUSESLANGUAGEASCARRIERTOCOMPLETENARRATIONANDEXPRESSIONOFEMOTIONLITERATUREBUILDSANIMAGINATIONPLATFORMFORREADERSBYITSLITERARYWORDSTOCONVEYFEELINGSANDTOPRESENTPERSONSWHILEFILM,ASADYNAMICARTFORM,ATTEMPTSTOPRESENTTHEINFORMATIONTHELITERARYWORKSREVEALBYFILMIMAGEFILMISANINTUITIVEVISUALREFLECTIONOFLITERARYINFORMATIONALTHOUGHTHEIRARTFORMSVARY,THEYINTERACTWITHEACHOTHERINMANYASPECTSLITERATUREAFFECTSFILMDEEPLYMEANWHILEFILMPROMOTESLITERATURETODEVELOPASWELLKEYWORDSBREAKFASTATTIFFANYSLITERATUREFILMINTERACTIONINTRODUCTIONNOWADAYS,SCHOLARSATHOMEANDABROADPAYMOREATTENTIONTOTHERELATIONSHIPBETWEENLITERATUREANDFILMANEXCELLENTNOVELISTHECULTURALMEDIUMFORAGOODFILMANDANINCREASINGNUMBEROFFILMSAREADAPTEDFROMLITERARYWORKSLITERATUREISASORTOFSTATIONARYART,USINGLANGUAGEASACARRIERFORNARRATION,DESCRIPTIONANDEXPRESSIONOFEMOTIONDIFFERENTFROMLITERATURE,FILMISANINDEPENDENTARTFORM,UTILIZINGMODERNTECHNIQUESSUCHASFILMIMAGE,SOUND,ETCTOCOMPLETENARRATIONANDEXPRESSIONALTHOUGHLITERATUREANDFILMARETWOENTIRELYDIFFERENTARTS,THEYINTERACTIVELYAFFECTEACHOTHERINASENSE,LITERATUREPLAYSAMATRIXROLEINTHEDEVELOPMENTOFFILM,BUTFILMISNOTANAPPENDAGETOLITERATUREINANOTHERSENSE,FILMAFFECTSLITERATUREASWELLTHEREFORE,WHILESTUDYINGTHETWOARTS,ITISNECESSARYFORUSTOUNDERSTANDTHEINTERACTIONBETWEENTHEMFROMALLTHEPERSPECTIVESFILMANDLITERATUREHASALONGHISTORYOFCONTACTITISTHENOURISHMENTOFLITERATURETHATPROVIDESACHANCEFORFILMTOMAKEAGREATPROGRESSANDTOBECOMEANINDEPENDENTANDMATUREFORMOFARTFINALLYDURINGTHE100YEARHISTORYOFFILMART,NUMEROUSCLASSICALNOVELSWEREMOVEDONTOSILVERSCREENTHOSEADAPTEDFILMSTURNEDOUTTOBELASTINGANDCLASSICALLITERATUREISANANCIENTARTFORM,WHILEFILMISAMODERNONEFILMUSESDIFFERENTMEDIAANDFEATSTOPERFORMWHATITATTEMPTSTOCONVEYWHENTHETWOARTSCOMEACROSSEACHOTHER,THECOLLISIONMUSTBEFANTASTICTHEREFORE,THEINTERACTIONBETWEENTHEMSHOULDBEHIGHLYNOTICEDWHENSTUDYINGSUCHANINTERACTION,WEWILLANALYZEAREPRESENTATIVEEXAMPLEBREAKFASTATTIFFANYSTHISTHESISTAKESTHESTORYBREAKFASTATTIFFANYSASTHESAMPLETOANALYZETHEINTERACTIONBETWEENLITERARYARTANDFILMARTTHETHESISISDIVIDEDINTOTHREECHAPTERSINCHAPTERI,THESTORYISDEEPLYANALYZED,INCLUDINGTHEPLOTANDTHETWOMAINCHARACTERSINCHAPTERII,SOMEFILMTECHNIQUESAREBRIEFLYINTRODUCEDINCLUDINGFILMIMAGE,SOUNDANDHOWTHECOGNOMINALFILMPRESENTSTHEINFORMATIONTHESTORYREVEALSBYUSINGTHOSETECHNIQUESINCHAPTERIII,THEINTERACTIONBETWEENLITERATUREANDFILMISDEEPLYDISCUSSED,INOTHERWORDS,HOWTHETWOARTFORMSAFFECTEACHOTHERFROMOURANALYSISINTHISTHESIS,WEWILLKNOWTHATCLASSICALLITERARYWORKSBUILDCLASSICALFILMSANDINRETURNFILMSHELPTOPROMOTETHEPOPULARITYOFTHEWORKSLITERARYARTANDFILMARTINTERACTWITHEACHOTHERINMANYASPECTS1ANALYSISOFTHESTORYBREAKFASTATTIFFANYSBREAKFASTATTIFFANYS,ONEOFTHEREPRESENTATIVESOFTRUMANCAPOTEWHOWASACELEBRATEDSOUTHERNWRITERINAMERICA,STIRREDTHEAMERICANLITERATUREFIELDINTHE1950SWHENITWASJUSTPUBLISHEDWRITERSAROUNDTHEWORLDSPOKEHIGHLYOFTHISSTORYTHEYADMIREDTHEAUTHORFORHISPLAINBUTMEANINGFULLANGUAGEANDFORWHATHEHADCREATEDINHISSTORYTHESTORYITSELFWASACCLAIMEDASAREALFAIRYTALE,BOTHTHETWOMAJORCHARACTERSINTHESTORYWEREFREQUENTLYTALKEDABOUTBYPEOPLEATTHATTIMEASWELLINTHISCHAPTER,THEMAINCONTENTOFTHESTORYWILLBEBRIEFLYINTRODUCEDANDTHECHARACTERSASWELLASTHEPLOTWILLBEANALYZEDDEEPLY11BRIEFINTRODUCTIONTOTHESTORYHOLLYGOLIGHTLY,THEHEROINEOFBREAKFASTATTIFFANYS,ISAPARTYGIRLLIVINGINNEWYORKCITYWHOSELIFEISFULLOFNOVELTYANDASPIRATIONSHEISNATURALATDEALINGWITHALLKINDSOFMENCHASINGAFTERHERSHEISBEAUTIFULASWELLASELEGANTBYCHANCESHEGETSTOKNOWANAUTHOR,THEHEROINTHISSTORY,WHOLIVESBYWRITINGANDSELLINGNOVELSATONEMIDNIGHT,HOLLYCOMESHOMELATEINORDERTOEXTRACTHERSELFFROMANANNOYINGMAN,SHECOMESUPSTAIRSTHROUGHTHEFIREESCAPETOTHEWINDOWSOFTHEAUTHORSHOUSETHEAUTHORLETSHERINANDTHEYBEGINTOCHATHOLLYTELLSHIMTHATSHELEFTHOMEATHER14AGESWHENSUDDENLYSHEFEELSTHEAUTHORDOESLOOKLIKEHERBROTHERFREDEVERYTHURSDAYISADAYWHENHOLLYARRANGESTOVISITAPRISONERNAMEDTOMATO,WHOISTHEWELLKNOWNLEADEROFMAFIAWHENONEOFTHEWORKSOFTHEAUTHORISPUBLISHED,HECOMESTOBRINGTHISNEWSTOHOLLYWITHPLEASURETHEYDECIDETOHAVEDINEROUTSIDEFORCELEBRATINGAFTERDINERTHEYWEARTHESTOLENMASKSBACKHOMEONEDAY,ASTRANGEMANISWANDERINGINTHESTREETDOWNSTAIRSANDHEFOLLOWSTHEAUTHORWHEREVERTHEAUTHORGOESHEISTHEHUSBANDOFHOLLYINTHECOUNTRYSIDE,DOCTORGOLIGHTLYDOCTORGOLIGHTLYTELLSTHEAUTHOROFEVERYTHINGABOUTHOLLYONCEINTHECOUNTRYSIDEDOCTORGOLIGHTLYCOMESTOTAKEHOLLYBACKTOTHEIRHOMEINTHECOUNTRYSIDE,BUTHOLLYREJECTSFORSHEISLONGINGFORABRAN
