海上钢琴师——存在主义人生哲学的解析

摘要

20世纪末，全世界出现了反思西方现代文明的高潮。

受这这种思绪的影响，意大利导演朱塞佩·托纳托雷创作了《海上钢琴师》，成功塑造了1900这个传奇人物形象，让他从海洋上看陆地，在自然处看文明。

本文研究了电影《海上钢琴师》中蕴含的存在主义人生哲学思想。

首先，文章介绍了故事发生时的历史背景，并分析了在这样的社会背景与存在主义人生哲学盛行的关系。

文章简要叙述了影片的故事梗概，使读者对影片有进一步的认识。

同时，分析了电影中的三个关键词。

其次，介绍了两位重要存在主义哲学家的主要理论，并应用这些理论对电影进行进一步的分析。

并且阐述了存在主义人生哲学中的积极方面。

再次，分析不同的选择对于电影中人物命运的不同意义，以和不同人物的幸福观。

最后，从存在主义的角度，结合作者对存在主义人生哲学的认识，对一些常见的困扰人们的问题提出了解决方法，指出了存在主义哲学独特的观点以和对我们的诸多启示，强调了其对人生的积极推动作用。
