戰後初期台灣報紙副刊電影評論──以《台北晚報》為分析場域

Abstract

本文就國家圖書館台灣分館所珍藏之《台北晚報》進行研究，以其影劇版「銀座」的電影相關文章，作為認識戰後初期電影評論的文本。「銀座」是黃仁從事電影事業一甲子以來的第一個代表作，其主編之「銀座」為台灣戰後初期中文影評邁入成熟期的重要文本之一 。本文關注的電影評論文章，主要為「國產片」與「好萊塢電影」兩類，其主題、篇幅、討論的脈絡相當不同。國產片主要以「勝利以來」討論國產片的發展方向，重視電影反映現實的實用性，字裡行間常浮現對於國產片恨鐵不成鋼的情緒。好萊塢電影是戰後初期電影院線片的絕對主流，「銀座」提供了想像「美國」與「好萊塢」電影明星與進步科技的材料，然而電影評論的褒貶，也顯示出當時對於電影休閒娛樂之興盛，與戰亂時局之間的矛盾。最後，《台北晚報》影劇版「銀座」雖然發行時間短，透過本文的整理分析，希冀能藉此呈顯戰後初期台灣電影之一隅。

Based on Taipei Evening Post, one of the treasures of the National Central Library, this thesis would like to learn the movie reviews of the early post-war period by analyzing the related film articles on the entertainment page, which is named “Yin-zuo.” “Yin-zuo” is Jen Huang’s first masterpiece after he contributes sixty years to the film career. “Yin-zuo,” under the general editorship of Huang, is regarded as one of the important texts because it shows that the Chinese movie reviews come of age in early post-war Taiwan. This thesis focuses on the film reviews of “local films” and “Hollywood movies,” for they are quite different from each other in themes, lengths, and ideas. The local films mainly discuss the idea about “after winning a victory.” Huang emphasizes on the practicality of how movies reflect reality and he often feels disappointed at the local films into words. Besides, Hollywood movies are the mainstream of the movie theaters in the early post-war period. “Yin-zuo” provides the texts to imagine “the United States,” movie stars in “Hollywood,” and the development of technology. However, the movie criticism also represents the ambiguity between prosperous entertainment and the suffering during the war. Finally, although “Yin-zuo” of the entertainment section in Taipei Evening Post is published for a short time, I would like to show a part of the Taiwanese movies of the early post-war age through my analysis.
