「看电影」的能力,是需要学习的吗?( 三 )


Do we have to be specially trained to be able to understand what is going on in a film?
Language is a tool, used by people to understand and express ideas. Language exists separately from the objects it denotes.
Film is language and at the same time the object.
Film is made under some universal language to be received "naturally" and rather "instantly".
In other words, the language of film-making is rather invisible to the audience.
And thus, the audience need not be specially trained to make sense of a film, at least not through the painstaking process of learning a language. This is not to say that the audience necessarily understand the narrative of the film smoothly and accurately from the first time he/she watched a film.
However, the time a spectator needs to acquire enough knowledge about the convention of film in order to understand it is fairly short and usually on an unconscious level. Imagine someone who can only understand English watching a Chinese Period Drama, compared to the same person reading a novel written in Chinese about the same plot.
I think it is fair to argue that there is certainly an invisible language governing the MAKING of a film, and that it is to some extent, universal. But because one is unconscious of the time when it is acquired and when it is being used, there is no point calling it a language, at least not in the sense of the kind of language we use everyday.
