简介:康沃尔渔村的风景明信片田园诗误导了人们。虽然过去钓鱼是一种养家糊口的方式,但如今富有的伦敦游客纷纷下山,取代了当地人,当地人的生计因此受到威胁。史蒂文和马丁兄弟的关系也很紧张。马丁是一个没有船的渔夫,因为史蒂文开始用它来为一整天的游客提供更赚钱的旅游。他们卖掉了这座家庭别墅,现在看来,最后一场战斗是和新主人在海边的停车位上展开。然而,情况很快就失控了,而不仅仅是因为车轮夹钳。 Bait是一种黑白,手工制作,16毫米胶片制作的电影。许多关于鱼、网、龙虾、长靴、绳结和渔篮的特写镜头让人想起了蒙太奇景点的理论。对不同社会阶层的描述——可以说是阶级关系——也让人想起了英国电影中的社会现实主义传统。然而,最重要的是,在影像中不同层次的电影历史参考文献之下,当前许多政治关联正在等待被发现。 The picture-postcard idyll of the Cornwall fishing village is misleading. While fishing used to be a way of supporting oneself, wealthy London tourists have now descended and are displacing the locals, whose livelihood is thus threatened. The relationship between brothers Steven and Martin is also strained. Martin is a fisherman without a boat, since Steven started using it for far more lucrative tours for all the day-trippers. They’ve sold the family cottage and now it seems that the final battle to be fought is that with the new owners over the parking space next to the sea. Yet the situation soon gets out of hand, and not just because of the wheel clamp. Bait is a black-and-white film shot on hand-processed 16mm. Numerous close-ups of fish, nets, lobsters, wellington boots, knots and catch baskets bring to mind the theory of a montage of attractions. The depiction of the different social strata – one could speak of class relations – is also reminiscent of the tradition of social realism in British cinema. Above all, however, a whole lot of current political relevance is waiting to be discovered beneath the different layers of film historical references contained in the images.
简介:这部音乐剧DVD取材于耶稣的生平事迹,韦伯创新地将严肃的宗教故事和前卫的摇滚音乐联系起来,是一部艺术表现非常大胆、思想性也极为深刻的作品。如果说《约瑟夫与神奇彩衣》是对圣经故事的图解,那么《万世巨星》从表面上看简直就是对传统的颠覆与反动:上帝的儿子耶稣不再时刻带着圣哲的光环,他有软弱,有动摇,更多的人性代替了神性;犹大卖主也不是出自贪婪,而是出自上帝安排的命运,自杀后的犹大穿着白袍带领一个天使唱诗班向耶稣提出几个哲学问题,耶稣竟然也不知道答案。细心的读者不难看出这样的情节安排和电影《耶稣基督的最后诱惑》的相似之处,与后者一样,该剧刚一推出,便遭到了正统宗教人士的强烈抗议,这反而增加了它的知名度,其插曲《我不知如何爱他》(I don't know how to love Him)、《万世巨星》(Superstar)长时间徘徊在各大唱片排行榜上。 笔者感觉此剧的本意和《耶稣基督的最后诱惑》一样,并不在于离经叛道,而是通过曲折的形式表现殉道者对神的服从,因为在该剧的最后,耶稣依照神的安排为人类的罪舍身又复活,并在原谅了他的敌人后升天而去。如果你对基督教有较深了解的话,相信该剧还是能够给你一些不同角度的思考。当然,撇开背景不谈,即便单单作为一出摇滚音乐剧来欣赏,这盘DVD也是不容错过的。该剧的另一个版本是1973年由环球影片公司出品的同名电影。 式圣经片给人更亲切的感觉。安德鲁.莱特韦伯创作的插曲优美动听,全片摄影和剪接都具一流水准。
