莎士比亞的現代“悲“與“喜“





首先,看到莎士比亞(William Shakespeare )就衍生畏懼感的人,妳/你一定要繼續看下去。因為這是以一個比較娛樂的角度來解剖英國大文豪對好萊塢流行電影製作的影響。撇開文謅謅的用字遣詞,莎翁的作品絕對值得細細品讀。血親通姦、慘酷打鬥、男女矯情、死亡、神話等種種情節,絕對比阿美姐的小狼狗或是駙馬爺內線交易還來得有觀賞價值。

1.千方百計 “ O ”(改編自四大悲劇之一: 奧泰羅 “Othello“)
電影上映年: 西元2001年

「奧賽羅」的性格主題,談的是懷疑與妒忌存在心中不好好控制,太平盛世時尚無太大妨礙,一旦周遭有邪惡小人善加利用,最終會變成放任自己的嫉妒、篤信自己的懷疑,而造成致人於死的冤屈。 在「千方百計」裡,場景設定轉變成美國高中校園,原著主角“奧賽羅“為軍隊主帥,但卻為黑皮膚的摩爾人,在現代電影則為高中籃球校隊主力戰將(「街頭痞子」 中飾演救世主的米基菲佛Mekhi Phifer ,在「千方百計」中為“奧丁“),球技出色、風靡校園的非裔美國男性,導演明顯的利用美國既有的種族問題,導出忌妒猜疑,但是「千方百計」的場景設定,為了迎合當下流行的黑人文化(音樂、運動),著重於非裔美國人情緒多變且複雜的個性以及優越的運動能力,雖然有種趨於種族矮化的效果,但主角為黑皮膚的非裔美國人更加強了此戲的種族張力。 莎翁原著中,奧賽羅身邊有小人伊阿古( 「停機四十天」喬許哈耐特 Josh Hartnett ,在「千方百計」中飾演“雨果“),為了謀害奧賽羅,利用奧賽羅對其妻子“苔絲狄蒙娜“(「留住最後一隻舞」茱莉亞史提爾 Julia Stiles,在「千方百計」中為“荻絲“)的愛與猜忌,導致奧賽羅親手將其所愛送至天國, 奧賽羅終究負咎自殺。 O bloody period! 多慘酷的結局。也許有些人會遲疑,到底此部題材算不算是黑色電影(法文:Film Noir)的一種?類型電影論者一般將黑色電影當成幫派電影( Gangster Film) 或是警匪電影的一支,但是從研究上指出,黑色電影中的謀殺策動者,絕大多數為致命女性(法文:Femme fatale)。 此現代版奧賽羅,為了凸顯主角的文化背景,配樂皆以當時著名的Hip Hop 歌曲為串場,跟大家所熟悉的古典悲樂大師“華格爾“而有所區別,也許是為了多賣幾張電影原聲帶。故事節奏快且分明,性愛場景毫無保留,過於血腥的場景,皆為此片帶來不少爭議性的話題。但是在拜讀完莎士比亞的原著「奧賽羅」之後,妳/你才會明顯知道奧賽羅在自刎前曾說: 「 一個在戀愛上不智而過於深情的人;一個不容易發生嫉妒的人,可是一旦被人煽動以後,就會糊塗到極點」這段電影裡血水四濺的畫面,卻比不上莎翁原劇本的淡淡文字描寫來的警世。



2. 足球尤物“She’s the man” (改編自四大喜劇之一 : 十二夜 Twelfth Night)
電影上映年: 西元2006年

有鑑於2006年世界盃足球的熱潮,好萊塢製片廠可不會錯過這波商機,順勢推出了校園愛情喜劇「足球尤物」,敘述原為女子足球隊的“薇拉“ (「水瓶座女孩」,亞曼達拜恩斯Amanda Bynes 飾)是個足球女健將,卻意外發現自己學校的足球隊將慘遭解散的命運,於是她一氣之下,決定假扮她雙胞胎哥哥賽巴斯丁去參加她哥即將入學的足球隊,但薇拉萬萬沒想到,在假扮的兩個禮拜時間裡,她卻意外愛上了她的室友爵克(查尼塔圖 Channing Tatum 飾)。另外一方面,扮演雙胞胎哥哥的薇拉卻意外受到爵克心中的女神奧麗薇亞(蘿拉蘭西Laura Ramsey飾)的青睞,當真正的賽巴斯丁現身之時,順其自然的接受奧麗薇亞的表白,為了讓爵克清楚自己的用意,薇拉便恢復她女兒身,爵克卻意外地坦然接受薇拉對他的好意。不管是現代電影版或是莎翁原著“十二夜“,結局的兩全其美實在是過於含糊,有人說畢竟這是喜劇,過程以及結尾都以歡樂的方式描繪,不必過於強調來龍去脈。 額外一提的是,導演聰明的利用名句點睛法,來打造更完美的結尾。「有些人是生而尊貴,有些人是贏得尊貴,更有些人是尊貴相逼而來的。」這句話多麼動人。雖然現代版的“十二夜“,是以俊男美女加上喜劇笑點以及風靡全球的足球運動來贏得觀眾的好評,不可否認的是,變男變女變變變的題材電影,「梁山泊與祝英台」、「花木蘭」,仍舊百看不膩。

其實坊間還有更多取材自莎士比亞鉅作的電影,在此只論以上兩部美國校園的主要原因是,是不是相對年輕的人都不讀莎士比亞的作品了,因此才會覺得莎翁的愛情語言那麼曼妙以及多汁,在形式上能吸引一般民眾,概念上又能獲得莎劇專家的首肯,很少見到能把流俗和高雅結合得巧妙的作品。雖然此兩齣皆取材自莎翁的電影,不免其俗的鑲入流行文化以及現今時空背景,看完電影之後皆有衝動想拿原本莎士比亞的劇本來讀完,這樣也算好事一件,雖然文字作品能造就的視覺畫面沒有比三度空間大螢幕來的眩目繽紛,莎翁的劇作是讓我們不需歷經滄桑,而能夠認識、體驗、了解人生,最快、最深、最美的途徑。

聯影將於八月下旬推出 莎士比亞四大名劇-現代版(ShakespeaRe-Told), 改編莎士比亞原著劇本:Peter Bowker(仲夏夜夢)、David Nicholls(捕風捉影)、Peter Moffat(馬克白)、Sally Wainwright(馴悍記),尚未觀賞過先前好萊塢改編過的電影,此次現代版的電影系列推出,鐵定讓您有不同的感官感受。

Roc-A-Scenes
Vol.12: Change of Heart
Written by: 0-T on February 11th, 2005

[ Somewhat unnerved by the beef brewing between him and Jigga, Game shows up at Def Jam's offices to straighten things out. Jay-Z, currently Def Jam's President, is welcome to hear what the Compton rapper has on his mind. ]

Jay's Secretary: Sir, your 1:15 is here to see you.

Jay: Aight Bleek, send 'em in.

Game: Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is Game! *chuckles*

Jay: ....

Game: Remember that shit?

Jay: .... come on in. *Jay invites Game into his office*

*Game steps in and his entourage tries to follow*

Jay: I'm gonna have to ask y'all to wait downstairs. No disrespect.

Game: Oh, no doubt, like Gwen Stefani.

Jay: .....

*Jay lets Game into his office and shuts the door*

Jay: Have a seat...

Game: *while walking towards Jay's desk, notices a 5 foot tall, 30 gallon container of water sitting in the middle of Jay's office* What's that there for?

Jay: That's not important right now... so, you have urgent business to discuss with me?

Game: Yeah man, I wanted to get at you dawg, like DMX.... you know...

Jay: Uh huh

Game: I just wanna clear up this so-called beefin shit... like Ice Cube and Common.

Jay: I'm listenin.

Game: Please don't let me be misunderstood, like Nina Simone.

Jay: Why are you makin that face?

Game: What face?

Jay: That face you always make.

Game: Whatchu mean homie, that's just how I loo- *catches on and starts laughing* oh, I get it. You got jokes like Martin Lawrence. Tha's funny man. *points at Jay*

Jay: *points back*

Game: Aight, so about this lil beef or whatever. I was in the club, like 50 Cent, then I heard through the grapevine like Marvin Gaye, that you wanted some problems like Lil Scrappy.

Jay: Okay, well first off--

Game: NWA.

Jay: Huh?

Game: Express yourself.

Jay: .......okay, well first off I don't appreciate some of the comments you been throwin at my lil homie, Bleek.

Game: You got this nigga answerin yo' phone. He's Mr. Telephone Man, like New Edition.

Jay: But my homie is like my brother, and that's family. So it's like you disrespectin my family. You dig what I'm sayin?

Game: YEAH! like Usher and Lil Jon, baby.

Jay: *puts his hand on his forehead*

Game: But I'm sayin though... all those comments I made was like a year ago. Why did you wait until I had a number 1 album to respond?

Jay: ....I was busy.

Game: I got people in my ear saying so and so is jealous, and Jigga miss being number 1... like KRS.

Jay: Look here homie, any nigga can get a hit record. This here is about respect.

Game: Like Gladys Knight.

Jay: Aretha Franklin.

Game: Word, I like her too.

Jay: Nigga...

Game: I got nothin but respect for you man. You're a legend.. like Dr. Dre, NWA, Rakim, Kane, NWA, Ice T, Scarface, NWA...

Jay: Thank you man, I appreciate that. But I think you need to understand your place and--

Game: My PLACE? Nigga you don't own me. I'm like Prince shavin "slave" on his cheek.

Jay: Nigga calm down.

Game: Nigga, I been crippin all my fuckin life. I swear to God I--

Jay: Crip? I thought you was blood.

Game: .................................I am.

Jay: Nigga how you been crippin all your life and you a blood?

Game: I'm BOTH, nigga.

Jay: Nigga you can't be a crip and a blood.

Game: I'm from Compton nigga, you can't tell me what the fuck I can and can't be. I been a crud my whole life.

Jay: Crud?

Game: A crippin blood, nigga.

Jay: Did you just.... make up a gang?

Game: *throws up complicated gang sign that includes the robot and cabbage patch*

Jay: Listen crud, mud, whatever...

*Bleek walks in Jay's office to check on the situation, hears the argumentative tone, and starts barking insults.*

Game: Sup nigga. How's Get Low Records doin?

Bleek: Yo Jay, you want me to fuckin handle this bitch ass nigga?

* Jay nonchalantly tilts his head, signifying Bleek should handle his business if he wants to. *

Bleek: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

* Bleek rushes toward Game, who's still seated. Game, 6'5," calmly stands up and extends his hand. Towering over Bleek, Game grabs his head and prevents him from landing a single punch. Bleek swings his left and right fists, desperately, unable to reach Game. *

Game: Yo man, this shit here isn't even necessary. Not like the BDP album By All Means Necessary.

Bleek: UGH... Stop name-dropping faggot.

Game: Can I kick it like Tribe Called Quest?

Bleek: The fuck?!?

*Game launches a front kick to Bleek's face, knocking him back 5 yards through the door he came through*

Jay: I see you have some skill. *Jay stands up and takes off his blazer*

Game: *turns around to face Jay* Oh you want some of this? I'm ready like Tevin Campbell nigga.

Jay: But you have a long way to go. *Jay's clutches his fists, and pulls his arm back in a Tae Bo stance. His hands begin to glow red.* I'm that nigga.

Game: *looks at his hands and notices they're not glowing* Aw shit

*Jay walks over to Game, slowly, still in a fight stance.*

Game: I'm in trouble like 2Pac when he recorded in Brooklyn.

(( Jay-Z begins to smack red sparks out of Game. The Aftermath artist puts up his best effort, but it's futile. While landing few punches, Game soon realizes that even on his successful attempts, he burns his knuckles on Jay's shield. A flurry of back-hands and palm strikes send Game into an unfamiliar daze. Jay grabs him by the back of the neck and drags him over to the 30 gallon container of water.))

Jay: Who's that nigga?

Game: *Disoriented* What?

*Jay dips Game head-first into the tub of water for 30 seconds, while he kicks and struggles for his life*

Jay: *pulls Game up* Who's that nigga?

Game: *gasps for breath* Man what the fuck kinda--

*Jay dips Game's face back into the water, holding his head down longer, before pulling him out*

Game: *gasps for breath again*

Jay: Who's that nigga?

Game: YOU!

Jay: Who?

Game: Hova!

Jay: Louder.

Game: HOVA!

*Jay grabs Game by the neck and left arm, and tosses him across the room into a bookshelf. The books collapse on Game and he cowers into the corner.

Game: C'mon man, I'm allergic to them shits. Stop playin.

*Jay calmly walks over to Game, now in the fetal position in the corner of the office.*

Game: Please no more, Hova. I learnt my lesson.

Jay: I know...but you have one more lesson to learn.

Game: Wait... before you kill me, you gotta tell me. How'd you get your hands to glow and shit like that?

Jay: I told you.. I'm that nigga. How you think a nigga with this face could pull Beyonce?

Game: ...I just thought it was cause you rich.

Jay: *chuckles* She make more than me nigga... guess again. *Jay points to his crotch*

Game: *looks down, sees a glowing red light emanating from Jay's pants, and covers his face* C'mon man, I didn't need to see that like Stevie Wonder.

Jay: Goodbye my nigga.

Game: Nooooooooooo! No No No, like Destiny's-- *Jay covers Game's face, and he lets out a horrible, deafening shrill heard throughout the entire Def Jam building.*

* 90 seconds later *

(( Game's brother, Big Fase 100, and his entourage run into Jay's office, frantic and ready for confrontation. ))

Big Fase: What the fuck goin on in here?

*Jay-Z helps Game up off the ground and fixes his shirt*

Jay: Nothin... just a lil miscommunication, right Game?

Game: *puzzled, looks at Jay, then at his brother* Man... I just came to a realization.

Big Fase: Wha?

Game: There's so much more to life than this rap thing, this beefin...it's senseless. God put us here for a greater purpose. To serve him.

Big Fase: Nigga what the fuck is you talkin bout?

Game: I... I'm quitting rap and persuing a life as a minister.

Big Fase: You ain't soundin like no crud! *turns to Jay* Nigga what the fuck did you do to my brother!??!

Jay: Nothin. I think the brother just had a change of heart.

*Game, still disoriented, stumbles out of Jay's office, reciting Biblical passages while his crew screams death threats to the Def Jam office.*

*Bleek regains consciousness in the lobby, and stands as Game's entourage passes him. Game kicks him in the face again, knocking him back out.*

Game: That was from God.

After thoughts:
I rented this film while wishing to pass one evening "fun"... which is in fact transformed into evening emotion! For those which like the French cinema and its large actors, and a rather original scenario, they will not be disappointed.

Avis complet
J'ai lou矇 ce film en souhaitant passer une soir矇e "rigolade", ... qui s'est en fait transform矇 en soir矇e 矇motion! Pour ceux qui aiment le cin矇ma fran癟ais et ses grands acteurs, et un sc矇nario assez original, ils ne seront pas d矇癟us.
