罪惡的深淵：論白石和彌《凶惡》、《極惡刑事》、《孤狼之血》底下的日本社會及作品分析

Abstract

一部作品可以挖掘導演觀看社會的方式，並且透過敘事的一套固定模式，檢視人與社會的關係。白石和彌的作品作為日本電影界鮮少的題材類型，一方面作為社會的鏡子，一方面則不失娛樂效果。作品所建構出的虛擬世界顯示了真實世界的樣貌。\n本篇透過《凶惡》、《極惡刑事》及《孤狼之血》的犯罪和事件回應了當代社會，「暴力」和「惡」的母題圍繞在敘事體中，藉由符號方塊的結構分析看見社會與敘事如何相互制約。同時，三部作品所牽涉的高齡社會、組織犯罪、暴力組織問題也提供了我們觀看作品的多重可能性。因此，本文將從兩個面向切入作品，一為從「犯罪學」提出的延伸與對話，有意識地建構當代社會的樣貌；二為「敘事體的分析」建立起發訊者與接收者的共同空間，得以共享經驗。最後以形式到慾望擴展作品的趣味性，討論各方解讀之下的作品如何激起了觀眾的想望。\n透過犯罪學與影像各方面的分析，研究發現白石和彌掌握了商業與藝術的比重，成功激起觀影的樂趣，也突顯了社會的複雜與衝突。他更是站在一個訊息發送者的位置上，為社會試圖找到一個情緒的出口。

The works of a film director reveal the way he looks at the world and examine through a set of fixed pattern of narration the relations between people and society. Shiraishi Kazuya’s works are a rare genre in Japanese film industry, while serving as a reflective mirror but also entertaining at the same time. The fictional worlds built up in the films reveal the true aspects of the harsh world.\n\nThis study responds to contemporary social situations through the crimes and events shown in “The Devil`s Path”, “Twisted Justice”, and “The Blood of Wolves”. The motifs of “violence” and “evil” surround the whole narratives. Through the structural analyses of semiotics, we can see how the narratives and the world restraining each other. Also, the ageing society, organized crimes, and criminal syndicates involved in these three works provide multiple choices for viewers to watch.\n\nTherefore, this study will dissect from two aspects: First, the extension and dialogues of “crime issues,” consciously building up the looks of contemporary world; Second, “narrative analyzing” establishing the joint space between message senders and receivers to share their experiences. And the final part will be to expand the amusing elements of the works from pattern to desire and then to discuss how to raise viewers’ expectations with public interpretations of the works.\n\nThrough the analyses of Criminology and film producing, studies have found Shiraishi Kazuya successfully grasped the ratios between commerce and art, not only intriguing the viewing fun but also highlighting the complexity and conflicts of the world. He, himself, is standing at the position of a message sender trying to find outlets for people to vent their emotions.
