Brideshead Revisited (1981)〔故园风雨後/梦断白庄〕
啊!我简直没办法说清我对这部影集的赞叹,
剧本好演员好当然是不在话下,画面台词之细腻精良,一幕幕都是享受,
不过最让我无可自拔的是......剧中的英文讲的好听到不行啊!
真的,我发现自己,确实是看过这部影集之後,才对这个语言有感觉了,
(之前只有喝醉了或是自言自语时讲来给自己听~XD)
原来"英语"的发音可以这麽好听啊!好听到......我看过一遍配中文字幕的,
又跑去看一遍英文字幕的,最後,忍不住把小说原文挖出来,一个字一个字的对读。

〔注:我也想要那只 Teddy bear Aloysius 啦!〕
总之我很喜欢这部影集,
最早其实也是先看了2008年改编的电影(2008)〔慾望庄园〕,
结果,好一个失败到不行的改编啊~从人物设定到剧本剪裁都一塌糊涂,
好奇把1981年BBC影集Brideshead Revisited (TV serial)
〔故园风雨後/梦断白庄〕调出来看,才一看不可收拾~
剧本和故事都不用说了,改编的真是精彩无比啊!
尤其是对照於电影版的失败,更让我惊叹,同一个剧本,
在相异的改编才能的变动下,造成的差异可以有多大!
再说演员,影集里的角色全部是一时之选(演技外型无一不到位),
相对来讲电影的选角还真有够令人难过的......。

〔注:这是我非常喜欢的剧中很有意味一段对话(这种桥段很多)〕
Cara: "I think you are very fond of Sebastian."
Charles: "certainly."
Cara: "I know of these romantic friendships of the English and the Germans.
They are not Latin. I think they are very good if they do not go on too
long.......;
It is a kind of love that comes to children before they know its meaning.
In England it comes when you are almost men;
I think I like that. I think It is better to have that kind of love for
another boy than for a girl.
Alex you see had it for a girl, for his wife. Do you think he loves me?"
Charles:"Really, Cara, you ask the most embarrassing questions. How should I
know? I assume......"
Cara: "He does not. But not the littlest piece."
Charles:"But then why does he stay with you?"
Cara: "because I protect him from Lady Marchmain. He hates her;
but you can have no conception how he hates her......;
My friend, he is a volcano of hate. He cannot breathe the same air as she.
He will not set foot in England because it is her Home;
he can scarcely be happy with Sebastian because he is her son. But Sebastian
hates her too."
Charles:"Oh no, I think you're wrong there."
Cara: "He may not admit it to you. He may not admit it to himself;
they are full of hate - hate of themselves. Alex and his family......;
(And how has she deserved all this hate?
She has done nothing except to be loved by someone who was not grown up.)
When people hate with all that energy, it is something in themselves they are
hating.
Alex is hating all the illusions of boyhood - innocence, God, hope......;
Sebastian is in love with his own childhood. That will make him very unhappy.
His teddy-bear, his nanny and he is nineteen years old......"
Cara: "How good it is to sit in the shade and talk of love."......
Cara: "Sebastian drinks too much."
Charles:"I suppose we both do."
Cara: "With you it does not matter. I have watched you together. With
Sebastian it is different.
He will be a drunkard if someone does not come to stop him. I have known so
many.
Alex was nearly a drunkard when he met me; it is in the blood.
I see it in the way Sebastian drinks. It is not your way."
不过不要有错误的期待,
这部影集可不是那种典型的八点档三角恋情剧或是某种同志肥皂剧
(虽然电影改编版倒是很像那样)
这部影集的主题比那种肥皂剧剧情宽广多了,
看这部戏,会有一种看《红楼梦》的感觉!
同样是家族,或说是某个世代的没落、变迁,同样有有人性、人情的荒谬、纠葛,
信念与人生的追寻,幸福的短暂与残缺,童真的不可把握......;
(一言以蔽之,人如何面对成年後的荒谬与时势的变迁呢?)
爱情不是没有(不管对象是谁),但是含蓄的,
点到为止的,和人生其他许多面向相缠绕的。
(我想某方面来说,这也是所有好剧本的先决条件吧!
就是不把「爱情」看成首要,世间不是没有爱情,
但那是作为人生的一部份,那种把爱情作为人生全部去编写的剧本,
注定是到庸俗又失败的)

〔让人难忘又难过的一幕,我不能否认Julia是片中让我最有投射感的角色;
如果一定要说的话,我大概是有点像她的吧!
有点任性、有点旁徨却又不是/能那麽天真......
好像很放得开,其实一点也不(在意的事还挺多的);
所以彷佛离爱和救赎又比任何人都更遥远一点?
......不过可能也是因为这样,
也让我对Charles这个角色更有感觉吧!(是爱还是恨的
感觉呢?~笑)〕
〔不知为何我好像还是容易被像Charles这样的角色吸引?
或许是因为他那绅士、文雅的举止,
混合了一点宽厚、冷漠、软弱、理解与自我坚持的距离感,给我一种安心的感觉吧!
我很喜欢他那种淡淡的,却又好似带有理解与宽容的神情与语调!
(还有慧黠又带点狡猾的笑容)
......即使吃了很多苦头,好像还是一不小心就会喜欢上这样的人啊(汗);
不过从今往後我会记取教训知道要远距欣赏就好啦~(笑)〕

〔这一系列的访谈还不错(共五集),
可以看到原着作者的模样还有一些花絮
(不过害我练英听练得很辛苦,因为找不到翻译~)〕
Brideshead Revisited is a 1981 British television serial based on the novel
of the same name by Evelyn Waugh.
The book was adapted to the screen by producer Derek Granger and Martin
Thompson
after the initial script by John Mortimer was rejected.
It was directed mainly by Charles Sturridge, but part of one or more episodes
by Michael Lindsay-Hogg.
〔喜欢这片的另一个主因,很多拍给酒鬼看的段落!XD
(酒鬼应该可以有更深一点的感受吧!)〕
〔放这段除了为了和上面对照外(很令人伤感的是彷如伊甸园王子的陨落),
Anthony Andrews这段演技颇有发挥(虽然稍稍有些过於强烈?);
此外Lady Marchmain念的「Unseen Hook」,
应该是本片最强烈的主题了吧!(颇为令人震摄的意象......)〕
In Evelyn Waugh's novel Brideshead Revisited, a quote from the Father Brown
story "The Queer Feet"
is an important element of the structure and theme of the book.
Father Brown speaks this line after catching a criminal, hearing his
confession, and letting him go:
"I caught him, with an unseen hook and an invisible line
which is long enough to let him wander to the ends of the world,
and still to bring him back with a twitch upon the thread."
Book 3 of Brideshead Revisited is called "A Twitch Upon the Thread,"
and the quote acts as a metaphor for the operation of grace in the characters
lives.
They are free to wander the world according to their free will
until they are ready and receptive to God's grace, at which point He acts in
their lives and effects a conversion.
In the miniseries made by Granada Television adapting Brideshead,
the character Lady Marchmain (Claire Bloom) reads this passage aloud.
【影集演员表】:
Jeremy Irons as Charles Ryder,
Anthony Andrews as Lord Sebastian Flyte,
Laurence Olivier as Lord Marchmain,
Claire Bloom as Lady Marchmain,
Diana Quick as Lady Julia Flyte, and Jane Asher as Lady Celia Ryder
Phoebe Nicholls as Lady Cordelia Flyte, John Gielgud as Edward Ryder,

Charles Keating as Rex Mottram.
最後一定要再多说一下演员们的表现,
简单来讲,我觉得这部影集的选角与演员演技发挥都异常成功!
Jeremy Irons尤其令人眼睛一亮!演得好(从年轻到老,层次十足),
人又帅气(从年轻到老,都有不同的魅力);
Anthony Andrews也还不错,虽不是终极版的Sebastian,但也演得不错了!
(Sebastian对我来说是某种很接近宝玉的角色,
那种稍纵即逝的青春美感与无助旁徨很难呈现,只能诉诸天然......);
〔有版友分享他心中最梦幻的Sebastian是已故的美国影星
蒙哥马利‧克里夫特(Montgomery Clift, aka Monty),的确是梦幻人选!〕
其他像 Laurence Olivier的Lord Marchmain
(令我惊讶的好演技,演任性老人的自私、无奈及面临死亡的恐惧很有真实感);
Claire Bloom的Lady Marchmain(真的是大家闺秀的气质啊!
非常有说服力的迟暮美女,下面那段和Charles对戏的片段很精彩!);
Diana Quick的Julia(她的服装秀让我昏头转向,一套套都美极了);
Phoebe Nicholls的Cordelia
(戏份不多,但演得非常好,从少女到少妇,层次感十足);
John Gielgud的Edward Ryder(我很喜欢这个爸爸,演得好,
呈现的个性又讨我喜欢,很爱看他和Charles对戏);
Nickolas Grace的Anthony Blanche(有点夸张不过还挺有趣的),
Stéphane Audran的Cara(也是很美~)。
〔很有意思的一幕,很有意思的对比,就是这样的片段让我爱这部戏,
能够宽广的、完整的、了解的呈现世间的种种不同面相,
给我像看京戏时那样的感受~(奇怪的联想~笑)〕
里面人物的口音和举止都恰如其份,特别是演上流社会的Marchmain家族,还有Jeremy的
Charles,
那种文雅的气质举止,真的是幽雅到不行!特别是Jeremy Irons的口音~
我真的是听再多遍也不会腻呢!
看完这部影集,突然成为他的粉丝了!(笑)
〔这样说来,要得到我的心,首先条件大概是声音要让我喜欢吧!〕
他在片中演的好又有魅力,无怪乎演完这部戏整个红起来!
片子里的服装布景都非常考究,不管是自然景色(好美的英国乡间)、
建筑装饰、道具摆饰......无一不让人看得目眩神迷!
(据说制作费高达450万英镑?我想比电影还多吧!
无怪乎考究到乡间田猎、豪华邮轮这种本可跳过的场景都呈现的令人啧啧称奇)
连配乐我也喜欢!更不要说服装了,真是令人赞叹!
我常常看着剧中人Charles、Julia、Sebastian等人那一套套英挺美丽,
既衬人又款式多变的服装,看的眼都直了!
〔据说是当时典型的牛津 Oxford 上流阶级不务正业的学子们(笑)
〔专有名称据说是 Aesthetic Set(唯美主义圈子)〕
不过他们的西装都很英挺吧!
对话也离经叛道的颇有意思,朗诵艾略特 T. S. Eliot 的
「荒原 The Waste Land」其实也颇有寓意的!
【附1】:艾略特 T. S. Eliot《荒原 The Waste Land 》(原文及译本)。
【附2】:这段描写据说颇有作者 Evelyn Waugh个人经验的投射,
这篇网志有Evelyn Waugh当年在牛津学院的荒唐轶事。
又:这一段描写牛津学院的景象,
也让我回想起自己年少时在英伦(特别是剑桥 Cambridge)
短暂停留的那个夏季......
(虽是不同学校,但学院的感觉还是有些相似的;
说真的很难忘怀,真像在梦中的过往一样啊~)〕
〔很养眼的一幕吗?(笑)不过重点是他们讨论的主题,
其实是本戏的一个重点;奇怪的是虽然我没有宗教信仰,
却不会对这个主题感到无趣或隔阂......
我猜想每个人或多或少都有信仰的问题,
特别是那种你出身时就伴随着你成长的的信仰背景;
我知道我其实还是有的,只是不是宗教,而是另一种传统......
虽然我现在很厌恶那样的背景与压力,以及那些实践着"它"而带给我难受的人,
但也许有一天,我终究还是得要找到方法和"它"和解吧!〕
