Far too far, what I want to say here is A late 2009 British film I watched a few days ago, based on the novel of the same name by female writer Sheila Kohler (Cracks) translation). The content of the film will not be repeated, and the viewers can see it by themselves.
The reasons I recommend this film can be expressed as follows in a simplistic literary style: the play has many Iraqis, beautiful pictures, wonderful lines, clear and classical voices, in short, a beautiful tragic fable.
A simple analysis of the three characters in the play:
Miss G------It's sad to be a cocoon.
She wrapped herself in the triple cocoon of self-deception from beginning to end, unable to break free, pitiful and pitiful.
This thick cocoon of triple self-deception, the first, is called fantasy. In fantasy adventures, she greedily sips the pleasure of lewdness, and has long been self-righteous and complacent.
The second is called cowardice. If the fait accompli is that history cannot be changed, then when external forces intervene (the arrival of Fiamma), it is possible to break the outdated stereotype, although she is also yearning in flashes, she is still afraid of changing herself after all. Retreat into the already narrow and cramped self-world. As a result, the oxygen that was already lacking has been depleted at an accelerated rate, and the tragedy is about to come, which is shockingly predictable.
The third is beauty. In fact, she does not lack the ability to perceive beauty, but because she has lived in a fantasy world for a long time, she is accustomed to being cowardly in the real world. When the real beauty reaches her, she is first Ye Gong Hao Long (trying to get close to Fiamma), After being frustrated (by Fiamma's questioning, ridicule and eventual threats), he became angry and finally created the tragedy of destroying beauty (killing Fiamma). She put the real beauty under the beauty she thought and destroyed it.
This triple self-deception: fantasy, cowardice, and so-called beauty, all stem from weakness.
Fiamma------ was actually hurt in his life.
Tragic characters are actually rare in fictional works and the real world, because they are unbearable in life and cannot be copied and pasted in large quantities. But once it appears, it must be the most eye-catching and worrying. God laughed just now, and heaven and earth are indeed unkind. Mei, are you really going to be punished by God, or jealous of God? Those who are insulted and damaged may not necessarily be the most beautiful, true and good in the absolute sense, but their poetic temperament and their sentimentality have caused them to come to this world for a while, and become the rich sacrifices on the altar. destiny. Woohoo, what can I say!
Di------biting the nails and facing the wall, facing the wall for ten years and breaking the wall.
After studying the sadness and sadness, fortunately there is Di's hopeful ending, which makes people feel comforted. Heaven and earth may be unkind, but the director of this film is still kind-hearted, giving the film a bright light, unlike the disillusioning ending in The descent. The devoted watcher can finally avoid falling into madness.
Finally, make a brief analysis on the title and Chinese translation.
The original name of the film, Cracks, means the sound of cracks breaking, and the pronunciation is also very intuitive. This word does not give people a comfortable psychological feeling, as if your heart is broken with the onomatopoeia of /kræ/, and then with the sharp sound. The consonant /k/ is tightened with the deep consonant /s/. However, if it is translated as "cracks", not only does the original name itself completely lose the intuitive hint of the tone of the film, but also semantically there is no clear meaning of cracks in the source language English.
My translation is to Chineseize this very English expression and translate it as "cocoon". First, in terms of meaning, the closed school in the film is like a cocoon, and Miss G is even more cocooned in this cocoon, and even becomes an executioner; Fiamma has become a victim of this cocoon; only Di is finally able to break out of the cocoon and become an executioner. out, toward the path of freedom and adventure. The metaphor of "cocoon" in Chinese is thought to be in line with the meaning of "ice locked on the water surface" implied by the original name Cracks. Second, from the perspective of phonology, "cocoon" is the upper sound and belongs to the sound of "軄", and the sound of 軄 usually corresponds to "repression", "turbidity", "falling", "short and short", and "cocoon" is read in a roundabout way There is a feeling of sinking, which is the same as the feeling of fragmentation when reading English Cracks.
