作品介绍(Work introduction)
纪录片《看大连》主要介绍了几种大连人民经常从事的体育运动,并且着重探讨这些运动背后所蕴含着的中国传统精神文化的重要性。大连拥有六百万居民,其中更有不计其数的人热衷于进行各种各样的体育活动。这些活动不仅可以增强人们的团体归属感并且能够帮助人们找到身体和精神健康的平衡点。西方人做运动主要为了于锻炼身体机能,却很少强调精神上的和谐状态,如阴与阳的平衡。为此,本记录片通过细致观察太极拳,拳击以及广场舞等运动,为大家展现出这三种传统运动对锻炼者精神健康长久而持续的有益影响。
The Spirit of Dalian is a documentary that looks into the activities undertaken by the residents in an attempt to understand the nature of the importance of spirituality in China. The city is home to 6 million residents, an enormous number of which partake in various activities that both strengthen the community and help them find a balance in both health and mind. Whilst sport and activity in the West is often used primarily for physical improvement (noting of course, the mental benefits), there is less of an emphasis on this spiritualistic harmony between Yin and Yang. The documentary looks closely at a number of these activities such as Thai Chi, boxing and even community dancing and presents an insight about the importance of such activities for a long and sustained well-being of mind.
