面对创伤，重建自我：《房间》电影改编中的多模态创伤呈现

Self-Reconstruction in the Face of Trauma: Multimodal Representations of Trauma in the Film Adaptation of “Room”

摘要: 作为成功的电影改编案例，电影《房间》(2015)调动视觉、听觉等多模态资源完成隐喻构建，实现对小说原著的立体再现。本研究以Kress和Van Leeuwen的视觉语法为分析框架，以人际互动、意义构成为切入点，探讨《房间》电影改编如何超越文字维度完成杰克的心理创伤多模态呈现。研究发现，影片对原著大篇幅的对话和心理描写进行浓缩提炼，借独白、配乐、隐喻图像和拍摄手法，实现系统功能语言学视角下的多模态人际互动和意义构成，将杰克的创伤修复、精神再生故事娓娓道来。多模态的呈现方式不仅使得观众沉浸于杰克的心智体验，达到震撼人心的艺术效果，更是对原著文字模态叙述特征的立体再现，并以更温和、可接受的方式传达创伤主题，进一步帮助社会理解现实案件幸存者的生存困境，助力边缘人群创伤修复及自我身份重构。

Abstract: As a successful film adaptation, “Room” (2015) coordinates visual, auditory, and other multimodal resources to construct metaphors, achieving a multidimensional reproduction of the original novel. This study employs Kress and Van Leeuwen’s visual grammar as an analytical framework, focusing on interpersonal interaction and meaning construction to explore how the film adaptation “Room” transcends textual dimensions to present Jack’s psychological trauma through multimodal representation. Research reveals that the film condenses and refines the extensive dialogue and psychological descriptions of the original novel. Through monologues, soundtracks, metaphorical images, and cinematographic practices, it achieves multimodal interaction and meaning construction from a systemic functional linguistics perspective, telling the story of Jack’s trauma healing and spiritual rebirth. This multimodal presentation not only immerses audiences in Jack’s mental landscape, achieving heart-stirring artistic effect, but also offers a vivid reinterpretation of the novel’s textual narrative. It conveys the theme of trauma in a gentler, more accessible manner, further aiding societal understanding of the survival struggles faced by real-life case survivors. This approach supports marginalized individuals in trauma healing and the reconstruction of their self-identity.
