由曰本電影大師黑澤明執導的《亂》乃是改編自莎士比亞名劇《李爾王》的電影 經典，也是黑澤明自認為其生平最佳作品，此部作品令人印象深刻之處在於其壯觀優 美的場景及豐富且意蘊深刻的意象。本論文重點在於探討此劇的意象含義並指出黑澤 明透過以動物意象表現人性以及動物互相狩獵表現對人性與人類社會的見解，使得本 劇具備不同於莎翁原劇的獨創性。

Directed by Akira Kurosawa, Ran is a movie adaption of William Shakespeare’s King Lear. And it is recognized by Kurosawa himself as his best film. In this movie, Kurosawa actually reworks King Lear. As an artistic re-creation of Shakespeare’s masterpiece, Ran impresses the reader with its magnificent scenes and rich images. The purpose of this paper is thus to interpret the images in Ran and to see how through adopting animal images as his means of characterization, and through making one repeatedly-appearing image, the image of hunting, to suggest his idea of the human world, Kurosawa makes Ran a distinguished artistic creation as different from Shakespeare’s original work.
