watched two "special" movies, "The Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest" and "The Labyrinth of Desire". Both are based on historical facts and famous novels, so it is natural to attract people's curious peeps. For a formalist like me, the criteria for choosing a movie is that the title must be attractive first, followed by the cast lineup, and the third. There must be an actor I like. These two films just meet my standards, especially the commendable "The Dove Occupying the Magpie's Nest". I must praise this translation. The name of the film is really amazing. The original name of the film is The Other Boleyn Girl, another girl from Boleyn's family. For "The Dove Occupying the Magpie's Nest", people all over the world must recognize the wisdom and profundity of Chinese. Many things translated into Chinese have a profound meaning and a subtle beauty. The translation of this name can definitely be listed as a classic of foreign language films translated into Chinese. Both are Chinese-speaking areas, and sometimes the translated names of Hong Kong and Taiwan are more flamboyant and vulgar. For example, "She's Lonely Than Fireworks" was originally called "Crazy Love for Cello", "This Killer is Not Too Cold", and "The Killer Leon" was originally called "Killer Leon", and "A Big River" was translated into Chinese as "burning". Love Years> and so on.
Both films are about the grievances and grievances of wealthy families and revealing the lives of wealthy families. They can be called ethical and erotic films. Although the past era is very far away from us, the reality disclosed is almost similar to the current life. People's desires cannot be satisfied. In the life of rich and powerful families, the pressure of survival on the lives of ordinary people no longer exists, so they have more time to find the joy of life. Humans must survive first and then live. So, looking at their lives, although those phantoms are far away from us, but watching them fight in the more ugly blood, struggle in conspiracy, get lost in incest, and live in pain, we suddenly have some happy comfort, We just realized that wealth does not mean happiness! Once upon a time, how we envy those who can freely use their money to dictate their lives! It's cool to be dominated by money in life, but it's a stupid thing to be dominated by money.
Let's talk about the incest in the two dramas. Incest is ugly, immoral and shameful in any dynasty, any generation, and anywhere. I used to think that without a strong cultural background and ethical concept, openness has contributed to the incest of foreign nations. In the tenth century of France and Britain, how many noble ladies and royal families were caught in the sin of incest, who would have guessed that there were many incest incidents in China's history. (I have to admit that I have poor and ignorant historical knowledge. ) Among them, the most famous is Liu Ziye, the emperor of the Southern Wei Dynasty, who came to power for a year. This person cannot be called a "human". His brutality and lewdness have reached the level of not seeing the ancients before but not the people who come here. He was incestuous with his aunt and sister, respectively. After they got married, they were still called into the palace. Everyone was "happy alone is not as good as everyone else." In order to meet the needs of their elder sister, they distributed thirty handsome men for their enjoyment at one time, and created a special elegant noun. "Faces". I believe that many people do not know that the word originally came from a "half-orc". Haha, for example, there are many cases where Emperor Wu, Taiping and Anle are the same face. Its absurd and bizarre, I can't understand it.
The translation of "The Labyrinth of Desires" is actually not accurate. Although I am blind in English, it is just a storyline. The name is actually just a gimmick that provokes people's visual nerves. The actor I like Julianne played very successfully in Litong, a poor woman, a hateful husband, a waste son, that's all. By the way, watching Western films makes me really love foreign women with wide shoulders, wide hips and tall people, who walk swaying and swaying. At the age of an aunt, they can still be so beautiful, even their wrinkles are full of style.
Twenty years ago, there was a TV series "The Enmity of the Giants" that was popular all over the world. I was only a teenager when it was broadcast on CCTV. I watched it every night. , I was dumbfounded when I watched it, but now I have a little appreciation for the idea expressed in the play. In the play, there is only one favorite character, the simple and kind son-in-law of the tycoon, who is full of love for the poor and infatuated with the domineering wife. That is cruel The only bit of warmth in the world, people can still see the light of human nature! It is said that this drama has been watched by more than 3 billion people around the world, and it is still broadcast in some countries. It can be found in Xunlei. Think about it, since human beings entered the era of electrical civilization, which film and television work has the tree of life so evergreen? It can be seen that the spying and curiosity about the wealthy, the observation and compassion for the lack of human nature are common to ordinary people.
Back in reality, the wealthy life has nothing to do with me, I just think of Du Fu's sentence "The wine and meat of the Zhu family stinks"!
