第一篇:符号解读窈窕淑女
语言的魅力
——用符号学解读《窈窕淑女》
这部获八项奥斯卡奖的音乐剧形式的电影,凭借着其幽默诙谐的语言及对当时社会的映射获得了无数受众的热捧,这部于1964年制作的电影,虽距今已有45年之久,但影片所诠释出的魅力依然是经久不衰。让我们对传播学、符号学的学习有了另一个分析探讨的领域。通过观看电影,通过对影片中人物、剧情、社会背景的了解,更加深了对人物所运用的语言的剖析和鉴赏。
我们知道,在传播学中符号是信息的外在形式或物质载体,是信息表达和传播中不可缺少的一种基本的要素。人类是通过符号或符号体系来传递信息的,符号伴随着我们的生活。在该影片中,人物的个性鲜明,语言富有特点,丰富的语言把每个角色表现得淋漓尽致,各具特色。
由著名演员奥黛丽赫本所扮演的女主角艾丽莎,从一个讲着一口粗俗语言的卖花女蜕变成了一个操贵族口音的出入于上层社会的女公爵,这种巨大的改变来源于席根斯教授的训练,来源于她自身想要改变命运的意念。当一个粗俗的卖花女遇到一个博学多才的语音学家时,故事便由此开始了。对于艾丽莎本人而言,根据她所处的环境,所处的社会地位,她那“粗俗”的话并没有影响到她的什么,然而当一个刻薄的语音学家听到她不入流的语言时,她所使用的语言才显得那么粗俗,那么地与社会上层相悖。于此,充分可以看出,当时的英国是多么注重语言的运用,正如剧中的席根斯教授所说的“几百年来,英国就是以语音来划分等级,如果你的发音不正确,别人就会看不起你,一个英国人说英语的方式绝对会影响到他的地位。语言非常重要,它标志着一个人的修养。”如此鲜明的台词,充分体现了讲一口纯正的英语在当时是多么重要,也体现出语言在社会分层中所占的比重。而贯穿这语言的便是符号体系。
人类拥有最完整的符号体系。人类的符号体系既包括信号,也包括象征符。传播学中的符号体系包括了语言符号和非语言符号。
语言符号体系包括了声音语言和文字语言。声音语言是人类掌握的第一套完整的听觉符号体系,有了语言,人类的信息交流才彻底摆脱了动物传播状态而进入一个自由的境界。剧中的席根斯教授能通过听对方所说的话,辨别出对方的地域和社会地位,这是通过听觉符号体系进行分辨的,当受者接受到传者的信息时,受者对传者的信息进行解码,之后通过对接受事物的理解,在思维中行进深程度的思索,便得到最终的译码符号。表述和理解功能是符号的基本功能。文字是人类创造的第一套完整的视觉符号体系,有了文字,人类的信息活动实现了体外化的记录、保存和传播。文字是声音的再现和延伸。剧中,席根斯教授在训练艾丽莎时,让她对基本的字母,基本的日常用语进行练习,而这些静态的文字便是文字语言符号,这些具有一定物质形式的符号,能在时间和空间中得到传播和保存。正是由于有了文字符号,人类的文明,精神才能一代一代传承下去。
非语言符号也是信息的重要载体,也起到符号的作用,对语言符号的运用起到了一定的补充。在街头买花时的艾丽莎说话声调高、语气生硬、无理取闹,到后来成为舞会的焦点时话语的温柔、语气委婉、和蔼、等等,都反映出艾丽莎的背景和受教育程度以及社会地位。这些体现的是非语言符号中的第一类,语言符号的伴生符。声音的高低、大小,速度的快慢,文字的字体、大小、等等,这些伴生符不仅仅起着加强语言符号的作用或传递着语言符号以外的信息,它们本身也具有一定的意义。艾丽莎在街头卖花时,乱蹦乱跳,手舞足蹈,表情夸张,豪无形象而言,而在舞会上举止端庄,温文尔雅,含蓄内敛,时刻面带微笑。这样鲜明的对比可以看出,一个人的动作、手势、表情、视线、姿势等也能表现一个人的地位。这体现的是第二类非语言符号,即体态符号。体态符号既可以独立使用,也可以与语言并用,它们在形成语境方面起着重要的作用。
在本部电影中,不论是演员的台词、形象、社会地位、社会背景,还是剧情的设计都充分运用了符号学原理,都体现出了符号的一些基本功能,即表述和理解功能;传达功能;思考功能。人与人之间传播的目的是交流意义,而交流的内容是通过符号表现出来的,不论是影片本身内部的交流,即角色之间的交流,还是影片和受众的交流。影片通过对剧情的表演、诠释,让受众接收到影片所要表达的意义和精神以及所反映的社会现象,让受众得到相应的信息,然而这个过程便就是一个编码和译码的过程,也就是符号的表述和理解功能、传达功能的体现。其次,受众通过观看这部影片,通过观看艾丽莎如何从一个灰姑娘变成一个公主的经历,可以从中得到一些对语言,对社会的思考。这便体现出了符号的第三个功能,思考功能。
影片结尾,在艾丽莎获得了上层人士拥有的语言、地位、着装、及受人瞩目的焦点之外,还收获了一份爱情,这无疑让这部原本精彩的大片增添了色彩。席根斯教授改变了艾丽莎,艾丽莎又影响了席根斯教授,这是人际传播中的结果。他们中间拥有属于他们的符号,让他们产生了共鸣,而达到结合。感情是人与人交流的重要元素。
总之,无论是从语言符号还是非语言符号角度来分析,《窈窕淑女》都集中表现出了符号在人类传播中的重要性,以及语言对社会发展及其对社会的反射的重要性,展现了语言的魅力!以此,赢得了广大受众的喜爱和好评!
第二篇:窈窕淑女影评
《窈窕淑女》影评
最开始接触《窈窕淑女》这部影片是在高中的时候,英语教材中就选择了剧本中的一部分作为一个单元,之后就找到电影,欣赏了一遍,也是从这里开始领略到“人间天使”奥黛丽赫本的魅力。这次我们美国电影艺术欣赏选修课程需要我们写结业论文,要求就是真情实感,脑海里这部影片就又冒了出来。
一个卖花女偶遇一位语言学家赫根,竟成为这位语言学家和他一位朋友打赌的目标。赫根要把这位发音不准举止粗俗的卖花女阿特莎培训成为能出入上流社会的名媛闺秀。最终他成功了,但就在他成功之时,他这个害怕女人恐惧婚姻的独身主义者竟悄然爱上他的“实验品”——卖花女阿特莎。
这部影片是当之无愧的经典,首先是因为它是一部音乐剧式的影片,剧中人物的一些对话及心理表白大多是在轻松恢谐的音乐伴奏下唱出来的。在这种情况下,人物的心理更加清晰的展现在我们面前。尤其突出的是赫根在描述女人时候的那种调侃和幽默,他把女人描绘成一种可怕又烦人的动物,他深深地厌烦女人,他在自己朋友面前极尽所能地讽刺挖苦女人,然而就是他这样一个人却在不知不觉中爱上了卖花女阿特莎!他自己竟然没有察觉这种爱,直到阿特莎在他们胜利参加晚宴归来,因为他们无视自己的存在而愤然离开。这位语言学家用自己的实际行动把自己之前对女人的种种坏感觉全部瓦解!他疯狂地寻找阿特莎,当阿特莎告诉他自己要和另外一个小伙子结婚的时
候,他那种男人的嫉妒本能让他再也不能无视自己对阿特莎的爱情。另外阿特莎在被教授苦不堪言的训练下,对未来的幻想,一心想要教授受点苦头,幽默诙谐,也表现了她性格的俏皮。
另外,值得一提的是,影片中多次使用人物停顿的形式来表现当时的情景及其变化,例如影片早期人物多次停顿而又统一开始活动,表现出了街道上由冷清逐渐热闹的景象。
影片也从另一个角度描写了社会阶层间相互转化的一种荒谬,当卖花女阿特莎盛装参加大使们的晚宴时,竟被王子第一个邀请跳舞,而且被认定是匈牙利的公主,他们的依据就是她的发音和谈吐。而阿特莎的父亲,一个无所事事的酒鬼,却奉行着及时行乐的人生哲学,最后竟因赫根的一封信变成了中产阶级,而且开始了让他感觉疲惫的生活,当女儿阿特莎来找他时,他甚至向女儿抱怨,说赫根害了他,夺走了他的自由,而当女儿问他为什么样要赫根帮忙的那些钱时,他竟然也说不出什么理由来。是啊!谁能拒绝金钱、地位和体面的生活呢?即使这样会失去做酒鬼流浪汉的自由和快乐!阿特莎一开始做卖花女时反映的是周围的勤劳工作的下层社会人们的生活,他们辛苦忙碌,贫穷但也不乏做梦的乐趣。而阿特莎父亲成为中产阶级之后,他周围的又是中层社会人们的生活,他们工作之后就是享乐至上,而阿特莎成为赫根的实验对象之后,跟随赫根接触的又是上层社会的人们,他们自视甚高,讲究表面的优雅和高贵,他们在赛马时,只是静静的看,而不会像阿特莎那样尽情地喊!他们判断一切的标准是那么的刻板世俗,却偏又要自视为风雅!
在这部影片中,奥黛丽赫本的表演为其增色不少,将卖花女前后举止的差异刻画的入木三分。从刚开始的脏乱,到整洁时的惊艳,到最后甚至连女王都赞叹迷人,真迷人,王子也邀请她去跳舞。不得不说,奥黛丽赫本,为这部电影大大的加分了。

The film review of “My Fairy Lady”
Eliza Doolittle, a beautiful young lady.She is a girl with happiness, even the place she live is dirty and crowd, she never let smile slipped out from her face.She has a dream, a warm house with her lover, and a lot of chocolates to eat.“Wouldn’t it be lovely?”
Henry Higgins, an English Linguistic professor, is a typical English wealthy and defiant bachelor.He regards marriage the most boring and troublesome thing in the world.He is also a precise worker in his work as a language professor.It is often mistakenly said that they collaborate because Higgins decides to improve Eliza's cockney accent.But in fact it is Eliza who takes the initiative, presenting herself at Henry's bachelor quarters to sign up for lessons: “I know what lessons cost as well as you do, and I'm ready to pay.”
The lesson followed is a nightmare to not only Eliza but also Higgins.Higgins take this collaborates as an experiment and always a way to show his ability.He pushes Eliza day and night practicing her pronunciation.As Eliza and Higgins train together, they become accustomed to each other even though it is an abusive relationship on Higgins' part.This film stays true to the original material, and Higgins doesn't cave in during a soppy rewritten “happy ending.” Astonished that the ungrateful
Eliza has stalked out of his home, Higgins asks, “Why can't a woman be more like a man?” Why can not? He believe man is much more justice faithfulness and tolerate than woman.With his mother’s remindful words, Higgins realizes he loves Eliza, but even in the play's famous last line he perseveres as a defiant bachelor: “Eliza? Where the devil are my slippers?” It remains an open question for us, at the final curtain, whether Eliza stays to listen to what he says next.This story has no business with romantic in my mind.What it tells me is about change and attitude.Eliza’s father, used to be a man has nothing left to lose, is now tied by morality and status which he never cares about before.The change of his financial affairs leads to the change of his living attitude.Casting back the reason why it happens is just a joke said by Higgins, and that is really a satire, isn’t it?
Generally speaking, although three hours of the time is actually a little bit long, this film is still worth to watch, I highly recommend it.8266 李斯侬

第四篇:《窈窕淑女》观后感
The review of my fair lady
The movie is about a love story between a flower-girl Eliza and a gentleman Higgins.Eliza was a fair but poor girl who had a distinct countryside accent.Higgins was a linguist professor.He bet with his friend Pickering that he could teach Eliza for 6 months and transform her into a lady.Finally they succeed while Eliza left because of the selfishness of Higgins.But at last Higgins realized he could not live without Eliza and they got together
From my standpoint, the most impressive character was Eliza.She attracted me at first because of her noise characteristic which was quite different from the upper class.She was not constrained by the so-called dignity and she could say whatever she wanted though it would be regarded as impolite and rude.Just as Eliza said that she was a good girl.She earned money all by her hands and sometimes she had to give some money to her alcoholic father.She was brave enough to seize the chance to become an elegant lady.She was also a lovely girl that when she heard she could have chocolates to eat everyday if she stayed her eyes stuck to the chocolates straightly.When she was forced to do the monotonous pronouncing exercise everyday, she showed her disgust to the professor by dreaming that his head was cut down by the king, and only to find that the professor was upstairs staring at her and shouting to her "A".When she made a little progress and the professor danced with her for the first time, she was so excited that she could not fall asleep.In the story, she was a Cinderella who became a charming princess.The only difference was that she did not live happily with her prince that easily, instead they experienced twist and turns.Though Eliza was a poor girl who made a living by selling flowers, she had the determination and courage which seldom girls owned.She knocked the professor’s door bravely and asked him to teach her English with the full expectation of changing her fate.Most people are satisfied with comfortable condition they have and never think about doing something to make their life better and always laugh at those who attempt to challenge.After seeing the film, I realized that I am that kind of person who is lack of enthusiasm.I am afraid of failure and challenge.That is why I always feel my life boring just like a bottle of boiled water.You may challenge the fate with the result of being knocked down, but it is this unpredictable consequence that is charming.We can use our curiosity and eagerness for knowledge to welcome a new day with both dreams and obstacles.It is neither impulse of ignorant nor greedy of doing all kinds of things, but a gracious spirit though ordinary.It happens on the
flower-girl and happens on everyone who loves life.What is more, they will not give up to the hinder;instead they would rather pay more effort to do better.Just like Eliza, she could bear the tasteless pronouncing exercise and the midnight training.At last, her hard work paid off.She had changed into a excellent and independent lady after her behaviors and thoughts being guided and she was not a noisy girl any more.
