[读剧]温德米尔夫人的扇子

CAVA · Post by **CAVA** » 2009-02-21 5:46

读完剧本，知道为什么Lady Windermere's Fan会被改编成中文电影，甚至沪剧《少奶奶的扇子》了。从表面情节来看，表彰的是和谐家庭，爱与信任，伟大的母爱，悲剧的自我牺牲，尤其最后的大团圆结局，太符合沪剧观众的审美习惯和道德标准了。沪剧脚本的台词是否将Oscar Wilde的真正精华干净利落地剔除出去了呢？答案几乎是肯定的。

开幕的第一场戏，一个好女人严肃地抵抗坏男人的引诱，正义凛然到我要开始打哈欠。突然某某公爵夫人来拜访，迅速开始传播流言蜚语，一边不忘把自己正值出阁年龄的女儿支使开去，活脱脱婚姻卖场上眼光锐利的准丈母娘，熟练掌握驭夫术的标准太太。随着生日舞会的到来，被太太团们众志成城紧紧看守着的，或志在必得的男人们纷纷走上台来，Wilde式的妙语如珠开始闪光，而高潮无疑是坏女人的华丽出场。

坏女人聪明妩媚自不用提，又擅长审时度势，善解人意，象磁石一般牢牢吸引着男人围着她团团转，而女人一旦被她搭上话头也飞快地将敌意转化成高尚的同情心。《理想丈夫》改编的电影里，最有戏的也是这样一位满腹心机的坏女人，其次是玩世不恭的自恋男，正面人物则个个苍白木讷。误会，这个戏剧冲突里非常有用的工具，也同时在这两部戏里发扬光大。

戏非常紧凑，发生在24小时之内，如果事先不熟悉故事，情节上也有不少‘包袱’可期待，只是敌不过小人和坏人角色鲜龙活跳的风采。最精彩的，自然是那些才气飞扬的对白了。

LORD WINDERMERE:

What is the difference between scandal and gossip?

CECIL GRAHAM:

Oh! gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality. Now, I never moralise. A man who moralises is usually a hypocrite, and a woman who moralises is invariably plain.

读了一点An Ideal Husband，感觉比Lady Windermere's Fan成熟丰满不少，甚至还有了一些描写。比如这段Mabel的出场介绍，几乎有点诗意。

MABEL CHILTERN is a perfect example of the English type of prettiness, the apple-blossom type. She has all the fragrance and freedom of a flower. There is ripple after ripple of sunlight in her hair, and the little mouth, with its parted lips, is expectant, like the mouth of a child. She has the fascinating tyranny of youth, and the astonishing courage of innocence. To sane people she is not reminiscent of any work of art. But she is really like a Tanagra statuette, and would be rather annoyed if she were told so.

Oscar Wilde是很会抓住维多力亚时代的虚伪，不过看多了觉得他就是耍嘴皮子。

咦，我正在想What happened to Rupert Everett，就见今天的报纸有段他的采访。他已经５０岁了！

是呀，Jeremy Irons已经60岁了。Shocking!

NY Times这篇特写的作者好象被Rupert E彻底迷住了。

偶尔为之的小剂量Wilde还是很可喜的。

好沧桑啊

你是嫌他太老了？唉，沧桑也是美嘛。年轻时的Rupert E和后来是两种味道：

我记得他演的那个an ideal husband里的美宝超级丑，难看到惊悚……

美宝不是女滴吗？冬冬莫非说的是Minnie Driver。

忘记演员名字了，黑头发的，长得……像男人……

太好看了！我满足地叹气。然后怀疑地问：Is he gay?

是的。He 'came out' many years ago.

He looks too good to be straight!
