纵览影坛，有关于藏族女性真实生活与思想状态的电影寥寥无几。身为“藏语电影”的代表人物，藏族导演万玛才旦一向致力于呈现真实的藏族文化与社会面貌。在他早期作品中，女性角色往往是边缘化的存在。电影《气球》是他首次以藏族女性为叙述主体的作品，向世界首次揭开了藏族女性的神秘面纱。本论文将以电影《气球》为主要研究对象，借由这个作品作为个案来探究藏族女性的性别困境。 在《气球》中，卓嘎的女性困境与藏族信仰有着密切的关系。宗教信仰不仅是藏族社会主要的意识形态，更是影响着藏族人民生活中的各方面，例如：生死观、价值判断与社会秩序等。万玛才旦经常将宗教观念融入电影美学、思想内容中。由此看来，若是要更好了解电影中所呈现的女性困境，研究藏族宗教信仰是有必要的。同时，宗教信仰和藏族女性之间的关系也甚少有学者给予关注。因此，本论文将补充这一方面的研究空白，从而深入理解藏族女性的心灵状态与性别困境。 关键词：万玛才旦；藏语电影；电影《气球》；藏族女性；宗教信仰；性别困境 There are rarely films made for Tibetan women, depicting their real state of life and mind. As a representative of "Tibetan-language cinema", the Tibetan director Pema Tseden has always been committed to presenting authentic Tibetan culture and society on screen. In his earlier works, female characters were often marginalized. His film, “Balloon” (2019), for the first time, has Tibetan women as the main narrative subject. This unveils the mystery of Tibetan women to the world. The essay will use the film “Balloon” as a case study to investigate the gender dilemmas of Tibetan women. In “Balloon”, Drolkar's plight as a woman is closely related to Tibetan beliefs. Being the central ideology of Tibetan society, religious beliefs also influence various aspects of Tibetan people's lives, such as the concept of life and death, value judgement and social order. Pema Tseden often incorporates religious concepts into the aesthetic and ideological content of his films. To understand Tibetan women’s gender dilemma in depth, it is necessary to study the religious connotations involved in the film. At the same time, the relation between religious beliefs and Tibetan women has received little attention from scholars. This essay will thus fill the research gap in this area, to gain a deeper understanding of the Tibetan women’s state of mind and gender dilemma.
