从西方恐怖电影看西方人的审美特征
摘要：本文以西方恐怖电影中的西方人的审美特征为研究对象，拟从西方恐怖电影中暴力美学的深层内涵来探究恐怖电影艺术中的文化之美，分析影片中暴力美学的显现和内涵。以20世纪60年代为分界线，西方恐怖电影分别以经典恐怖和后现代恐怖为主导的审美类型，西方恐怖电影中的暴力美学注重对暴力的细节及场面处理，通过对攻击性力量的夸张性展示，关注焦点投入到人性和社会的最黑暗处，特意制造出了一种不安定的情愫来刺激观众的神经，在人物的忧郁气质展示中带有些偏执狂的意味。西方恐怖电影不单是展示血腥和屠杀，更重要的是在展示暴力的同时，引导观众进行对人生和社会的思索。暴力美学是一个美学和社会伦理的范畴，具有道德批评和社会认识功能，在艺术的发展中仅仅是一种形式主义的艺术概念，电影不再给观众提供一种社会楷模和道德指南，而只是一种纯粹的审美判断和情感宣泄，对暴力的崇尚和对社会伦理的呼唤都成为影视中的暴力美学发展的文化渊源。
