英文摘要 | Remaking the French film La Femme Nikita (Luc Besson, 1990), Chinese-born Hong Kong filmmaker Stephen Shin modified the story’s basic structure to take it out of its western context and place it in a South-East Asian cultural context. Black Cat (1991) diverges from the original tale of La Femme Nikita by adding a twist inspired by Wu Cheng-en’s literary classic Journey to the West. The two films explore ethical margins: the transgression of the murder taboo and the imprisonment of a woman by a patriarchal state. In their concern with the ethics of killing in the name of the State, both narratives present ideologies which reflect their respective cultures. The comparative analysis approach taken here foregrounds the cultural traits of the two stories. |
