From the outset of civilization, to the end of entertainment
Voice
1 Comment

In the very beginning of civilization, literal record is vital, so this is the sub-meaning of Jay’s song The Love Before Christ(2001) named. I don’t know why the melody of this song keep hovering over me these days. But this reminds me a lot of the singer. Though I got know Jay from his first album, but it was the The Love Before Christ let me get the conclusion that Jay is definitely a genius.

Especially this sect of lyric, “I feel so tried, when I found my homeland is still so far away. I’m afraid that I’d never back to your side.” moved me.
To claim the homeland is in the process to find oneself, is the bitter of heart traveling. And to call out the lover, is to express sincere affection.

However, the entertainment industry ruined Jay completely, now he stop his thinking of pains. So does David Tao, their virtue gone with the entertainment.

耳畔不知为何一直萦绕着《爱在西元前》的词曲,在这首Jay的代表作发售的开始,《爱在西元前》和Jay同时饱受大众舆论的赞扬与贬低。然而在那个时候,我认为我看到了一个音乐的天才。不仅仅是因为对一个古老文明下爱情的追述,而是完全因为这一句歌词:“我感到很疲倦/ 离家乡还是很远/ 害怕再也不能回到你身边”。 就这样简单的三句,却句句都有深远的意韵,仿佛是《诗三百》的再现。
“感到很疲倦”是一种对心灵疲苦的袒露;
“离家乡还是很远”更是有一种唐诗般的旅人羁苦的再度演绎,渴望回归和救赎,令人感动;
而最后一句“害怕不能回到你身边”更是一种真挚情感的自然流露,将东方古典情愫表露得淋漓尽致。

与许多愤怒者对Jay的理解不同,他们只是将Jay当作了一个流行符号而去批判。我宁愿去通过这样的解构来认识Jay的潜力;这样令人感动的词句,虽然只是灵光一现,但我相信。

然而也许他们是对的,尽管Jay可能本身不是他们所谓的彻透彻脑的流行符号,但这一切都不重要了,因为娱乐界的产业运作很容易实现这一点,Jay开始逐渐失去他自己的声音,他无法也不能再度沉浸下来,去写出如此感动的诗句。可怕的是娱乐产业的转轮还在一直转动,David将是这个转轮的又一牺牲品吗?Dear God.

Homeless Land
Voice
1 Comment

Some of you may have heard of the movie Tokyo Godfathers, or watched it.

This movie is talking about one unusual experience of 3 homeless guys.

Today, I’m not going to say anything about this movie, but to point at this fact, that more and more people become homeless.

From the news, we can figure out that the price of houses is skyrocketing. The recent government’s report showed that the Shenzhen house price ascended 15%, Beijing 11% in the past year.

So terrible news does not appear only domestically, but also in developed countries, where the situation is more clearly. Homeless guys in Tokyo Godfathers is just a scaled epitome of modern societies. I just watched a cover documentary of a magazine called The Big Event in London, this magazine is aimed to help homeless guys, by recruiting them to sell the magazines on street. The chief and initiator of this magazine was also a homeless guy. He did definitely know how hard for these homeless people to get involved into the society. From this TV program, we can see so many young people, whose all asset is a bag, got homeless. They looks like normal guys, but they sleep on the streets.

We always believe that by hard working can build a more and more wonderful land for our human beings. The situation is that we did build neither a better land for all organisms, nor for ourselves. The developing science and technology did bring high productivity, but jeopardizing our social cornerstone too. 

《东京教父》中流浪者的乐观给我们留下了很深的印象,尽管他们生活在城市的边缘,无家可归,但他们不是社会的渣滓,他们积极地为他们的生活理念而奔走。《东京教父》所展现的流浪者世界是感人的,但这种感人是一个掩体,它将流浪者的地下世界藏在了身后。那么这个世界是否真的如我们想象般和谐?答案自然是否定的,除却不安定的政治环境,我们每天都在越来越发达和高效的社会中忙碌地生存着,我们不再像我们的祖先那般“闲适”,我们的生存压力没有因为科技的进步而减少,反而增加了数倍。如果你持续观察你所在城市的房价,那么恐怕很少有人能抵受这种精神压力,根据最新的官方报告表明:在过去的1年中,深圳的房价上涨了15%,北京11%。

也许不久后的将来,中国的社会情况也会和西方世界一样了,越来越多的年轻人无法承受住房的压力,只好走上街头,成为流浪者。 

海德格尔说:人,诗意地栖居。我无法得知,我们的高速发展究竟能带来怎样的栖居。

Classical Chinese Tales
Voice
1 Comment

The classical Chinese tales are rather different from all other forms.
It’s a kind of popular literary form.
But what they consentrated on, is the simple relationship between people.
Many from the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio belong to this type of Chinese tales.

In these stories, the author depicted a lot about the affection between young menn and female ghost.
They adored each others so truely, but the boundary of the live and dead, with prejudice, almost made them apart.
So the main characteristics of Classical Chinese Tales are the true and simple affection of the young people, who have so lively pure character –espescially females, and the sentimental stories.

中国的古典传奇小说具有一种独特的魅力
这主要是因为它们对人情中最真挚、最纯洁部分的关注
既是对真情的赞扬,也是对世俗的反抗
这些故事大多都是美丽的,它们对感情的描写十分细腻又没有复杂拖沓的情节;
但色彩和解决却又总是凄凉的,
因为故事的男女主角总是要受到这样那样的世俗力量的阻隔。

这样的传奇和小说充满了中国的古典文化情结。
《聊斋志异》中的一些经典故事更是其中的代表
这次新剧拍成,《小翠》《小谢》和《小倩》三个经典故事被放在了一起,
更是将这样的凄美联袂演绎。
看过《小翠》,感觉林志颖真正适合的演艺形象才真正出来了,在对纯真无邪,甚至弱智的人格表演上
林的表现是相当完美的,他带给我们的真正符合了中国古典传奇小说的这种人物形象
李虽然成名后素多争议,但对真情的演绎上,个人觉得一直还是不错的,当然这一次也相当的好,
所以《小翠》的感觉是很好的。
《小谢》的一些演员表现其实还可以(除了演陶望三的有时候表演太夸张了),但是导演在编排上剧情太拖沓了,中心突出得不够。
接下来该演最经典的《小倩》了,相信成熟了一些的胡歌和人气杨幂也会给我们带来精彩的。

总之,中国的古典传奇小说情结是至今延续的,从95仙剑到04轩辕剑外传系列
我们依旧一次又一次地为这种情结所感动
这也许就是一种积淀了的文化特质吧。
值得注意的,这些对人物纯真情感的肯定和关注事实上是东方范围内历时性共通的,在《聊斋志异》等古典传奇小说中其实更多的是对女性角色的这种情感的描写,而男性角色相比之下则逊色多了(常常是无能的读书人形象)。同样我们可以发现,宫崎大师笔下的故事中也是将女性的角色地位放到了最中心。
可见,女性角色实质上是东方古典文化的重要内容,而不是通常认为的女性角色地位的缺失。
