[读剧]温德米尔夫人的扇子

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。

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。 :mrgreen:

偶尔为之的小剂量Wilde还是很可喜的。

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:

美宝不是女滴吗?冬冬莫非说的是Minnie Driver。
