本研究選擇《異形》、《魔鬼終結者》、《飢餓遊戲》系列電影為研究文本，研究結果發現，科幻電影的反烏托邦概念通常體現於女性英雄的職場上，而在職場上都會有個具體的父權化身，處處限制女性英雄的作為。另外，女性英雄雖具「雄化」的外型，並手持具有陽具象徵之武器，看似肯定了男性特質，但其確立英雄地位的要因和手段通常和女性特質有關，彷若第二波女性主義之一的陰陽同體觀；而在劇情的安排下，這些外型遠離花瓶性角色、蛇蠍美人等物化女性的女性英雄也確實能以情慾為器，並且善用母職、性徵、浪漫愛等女性特質，成就其女性英雄形象。 Science is the element used to develop the story in science fiction films. It is presented as a masculine element. When the element of dystopia is brought to the narrative discourse of a film, science becomes the fountainhead of a negative future in which the idea of words and ideas as superior is destroyed. This study investigates the backgrounds of heroines from such a background, beginning by analyzing their environments. It then investigates the heroines’ status, how it’s affected by gender issues, and finally their interaction in the film’s narrative as viewed according to feminist ideas.
This study selected three prominent sci-fi film series for analysis: “Alien”, “Terminator”, “The Hunger Games”. The study reveals that the concept of dystopia usually emerges in the heroines’ workplaces, which will also show the embodiment of patriarchy restricting the heroines’ behavior. Sometimes the heroines’ appearances are masculinized while they don phallic symbols in the form of weapons, but they can also use their femininity to accomplish their heroic goals, similar to what second-wave feminism would call “androgyny”. In the plots, although the heroines’ looks may be far from standard ideas of beauty, they also can evoke male desire, as well as the image of motherhood, and so romantic love will still often become a key element of such heroines.
