Social realism is a term that makes some people queasy. On the one hand, it evokes propagandistic Soviet films wielded as oppressive motivational tracts; on the other, it can imply a condescending, conflict-denying, family-of-man sentimentality. But "Amreeka," the opening film of the 2009 New Directors/New Films series on Wednesday, reaffirms social realism's validity as humanistic art with an educational frisson.

社會唯實(shí)論起源于17世紀(jì)英國哲學(xué)家T.霍布斯的理性主義的國家主義，經(jīng)18世紀(jì)英國J.邊沁的激進(jìn)功利主義，以及19世紀(jì)A.孔德的社會物理學(xué)和H.斯賓塞的社會有機(jī)體理論的發(fā)展，最終在法國社會學(xué)家é.迪爾凱姆的“社會學(xué)主義”中得到了最典型的表述。迪爾凱姆用社會學(xué)主義的觀點(diǎn)來看待社會，把社會區(qū)分為"機(jī)械團(tuán)結(jié)"的社會和“有機(jī)團(tuán)結(jié)”的社會。前者指古代社會，在這種社會里不同的個人可以互相替代;后者指工業(yè)社會,在這種社會里勞動分工導(dǎo)致了不同個人之間的差異。無論何種社會，起決定作用的都是“集體意識”或“共同意識”，個人因?yàn)榫哂羞@種意識而服從于社會。在機(jī)械團(tuán)結(jié)的社會里，集體意識符號化為“刑事法”，以統(tǒng)一社會成員的行動；在有機(jī)團(tuán)結(jié)的社會里，集體意識符號化為“合作法”，以使社會成員協(xié)調(diào)一致。在迪爾凱姆的理論中，人的行動是由人的社會性決定的，而社會實(shí)際上是一個信仰體系，一個精神的或道德的實(shí)體。

The feature film debut of Cherien Dabis, a New York director and screenwriter born to Palestinian-Jordanian immigrants, "Amreeka" also sets the internationalist tone of the annual series, presented by the Museum of Modern Art and the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Most of the 25 films in this year's series, which has screenings through April 5 at the museum and at the Walter Reade Theater, were selected from festivals from around the world, with Sundance the most important contributor.

"Amreeka" follows the odyssey of Muna (Nisreen Faour), a Palestinian woman living on the West Bank who receives a green card and moves to the United States with her teenage son to live with her sister's family in a small town in Illinois. Their troubles begin at a Chicago airport where, after a humiliating interrogation, the tin of cookies in which she had foolishly stored all her money is confiscated.
