Abstract

ABSTRACT:The article discusses the exile cinema of Czechoslovakia-born producer, director, and actor Hugo Haas (1901–1968). As a prominent Jewish artist with strong anti-Nazi convictions, Haas was forced to escape his homeland when Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia in 1939. Deeply traumatized by losing his close relatives in the Holocaust, Haas used his independent productions made in Hollywood after World War II to cope with his feelings of loss, pain, loneliness, and dispossession. The author reads selected films, disguised as run-of-the-mill genre pieces, against the filmmaker’s personal history and identifies patterns and motives suggesting that Haas’s body of work was strongly informed by his survivor guilt and trauma.

好莱坞电影作为治疗:雨果·哈斯，创伤，和幸存者的内疚

摘要:本文探讨了捷克斯洛伐克裔制片人、导演、演员雨果·哈斯(1901-1968)的流亡电影。作为一名有着强烈反纳粹信念的著名犹太艺术家，哈斯在1939年希特勒入侵捷克斯洛伐克时被迫逃离祖国。由于在大屠杀中失去了亲人，哈斯深受创伤，二战后，他在好莱坞制作了自己的独立作品，以应对失落、痛苦、孤独和被剥夺的感觉。作者挑选了一些电影，伪装成普通的类型片，与电影制作人的个人经历相对照，阅读了这些电影，并确定了模式和动机，这表明哈斯的大部分作品都受到了幸存者的内疚和创伤的强烈影响。
