When people ask me, a PhD candidate in Literature who has spent a lifetime reading Shakespeare, Melville, Woolf, Wilde, Austen, and many other "great" authors, why I watch anime, a show like Wandering Son is usually the answer. I am not saying that this is some how on par with literary greatness; in order to be that, it takes time and staying power (401 years after his last new play, they are still making movies out of Shakespeare) to be eternally great, but Wandering Son has what so few shows, movies, and media have these days: the guts to go where people don't want you to go because they would prefer to not know.
当人们问我——一个耗费生命在阅读莎士比亚、梅尔维尔, 伍尔芙, , 奥斯汀(注1)以及其他“伟大”作家的文学博士生——我为什么会看动画?一部像<放浪息子>这样的作品可以算是一个回答。我不是说这部动画确实在某种程度上有可以相提并论的优异之处,要成为不朽名著需要时间的积淀(虽然距莎士比亚最后的剧作问世已经401年了,人们依然在根据他制作电影 ),但是<放浪息子>确实有一些今日的电视剧、电影和其他影视媒体很少有的东西:涉足某些禁区的勇气,这些领域因为人们不愿意了解,所以不想让你去接触,
注1:赫尔曼·梅尔维尔(Herman Melville, 1819年8月1日—1891年9月28日),美国小说家、散文家和诗人。代表作《白鲸记》被认为是美国最伟大的小说之一。
弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙(Virginia Woolf,或译弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫,1882年1月25日-1941年3月28日)。英国女作家,代表作《戴洛维夫人》、《灯塔行》、《雅各的房间》。
简·奥斯汀(Jane Austen,1775年12月16日-1817年7月18日)是英国著名女性小说家。代表作《傲慢与偏见》、《理智与情感》、《爱玛》、《劝导》 。
In the last half century, there has been an increasing interest in LGBTQ media. Books, movies, and TV have all been slowly but steadily finding ways to introduce LGBTQ issues into our world. Most of the time, people are fine with it so long as it stays in the realm of adults. The reality is that many LGBTQ people don't suddenly become "queer" when they reach adulthood. Instead, they struggle with it early in life, into adolescence, and often times, well into adulthood. What LGBTQ media often lacks is addressing those early years and the struggle that it is to be different when young, especially in societies that frown upon it. It is a struggle that for some becomes too much and this struggle is why there is why suicide is such a risk for LGBTQ youth. Part of the problem is that there is nothing out there, in almost any media, telling them that there are other people like them, who also struggle, but can still find friends, acceptance, and even happiness. There is nothing out there to give these young people hope.
近半个世纪里,人们对LGBTQ(注2)题材的兴趣不断上升。书籍、电影和电视缓慢但稳定地寻找着将LGBTQ问题引介给公众的方式。大多数时候,只要这种尝试止步于成年范畴,人们觉得还好。但事实是,许多LGBTQ人群并不是在成年后突然才成为“酷儿”的。相反,他们对此的抗争在人生的初期就开始了,直到步入青春期,持续不断,最后才成年。那些LGBTQ媒体所经常缺失的,是关注这些早年的情况,年幼时的抗争是非常不同的,特别在社会环境对此并不宽容时。对一些人来说,这种抗争过于沉重了,这就是为什么自杀对于LGBTQ年轻人来说是一种危险。这个问题部分源于公众对此缺乏关注,几乎没有媒体告诉这些人,有其他和他们类似的人也在这个问题上挣扎,但是仍然结交到朋友,获得承认,甚至变得快乐。没有人在这个问题上给这些年轻人希望。
注2:LGBTQ分别由Lesbian(女同性恋)、Gay(男同性恋)、Bisexual(双性恋)、Transgender/Transexual(性别气质上相反的跨性别者/通过手术改变性别的人妖)、Queer/Question(同性恋另一种称呼酷儿/问题)组成。一般常见的形态是LGBT,是欧美媒体和学术界普遍接受和使用的词,泛指在自我性别认同和性倾向上异于普通人的边缘群体。
Enter Wandering Son, which may be the first thing on television anywhere dealing with pre-adolescent transgender issues as the focus of a television series drama, be it animated or live-action. This is why I watch anime; to see shows that are willing to go places that other mediums are afraid of and to find there stories of heart and courage. The characters you find here will pinch your heart, which is the only way I can describe the feeling I had while watching episode 1. Each of them is real in that they seem not like characters, but actual people, complex and confused. This is the strength of Takako Shimura's writing: she knows that she doesn't have the answers to life and that the struggle to form the question is what most of us deal with. Her characters always seem authentic (see Aoi Hana) because she remains aware of this and her characters demonstrate this awareness. You don't have to be an LGBTQ person to understand these characters or to like the story; you only have to know that you have a heart and that you can feel for people who suffer and hope for the end of their suffering. I bet that there is not a single person reading this review who doesn't know what that is like and how overwhelmed and amazed one feels when great suffering is eased, even if it's just a little bit.
回到<放浪息子>,这可能是世界上第一个在电视上将前青春期的跨性别者问题当作焦点涉及的电视系列剧——包括动画和真人剧。这就是为什么我会看动画:某些动画所涉足的领域,是其他媒体惧于涉足的,观看这种动画,感受故事中蕴含的感动和勇气。在这部动画里你所看到的这些人物会触痛你的心灵,我只能这样描述我在看第一话时的感受。群像里的人们是如此真实,以至于他们看起来不像是剧本里的角色,而是真实的人,复杂并且迷茫。这就是志村贵子笔下的长处:她知道她并没有生活的答案,她也知道对困惑的抗争是我们都会共同面对的。因为她始终保持着这种意识,她笔下的角色也显现出了这种意识(比如<青花>),所以志村贵子笔下的角色看起来总是真实可信。你并一定必须是个LGBTQ才能理解这些角色,喜欢这个故事。你仅仅需要知道你也拥有感情,对那些承受痛苦、并且对自身痛苦的结束怀有希望的人们,你也能够感同身受 。我打赌不是所有阅读这篇评述的人都清楚这种感受,清楚那种当痛苦被缓和时无与伦比的美好,即便这种缓和聊胜于无。
This is a character driven story, so the plot is a standard slice-of-life that will be revealed through the day-to-day lives of the characters in the series. If slice-of-life is not your cup of tea, give this a chance anyway. Wandering Son may be a genre defying show in bringing serious story to slice-of-life in a way that does not become trite or cliche. As opposed to comedy slice-of-life, don't expect this to be light, and expect to cry. The music and art, much like Aoi Hana, sets the mood beautifully and pulls you out of the world you live in and brings you right into the world of the characters. You will lose yourself in the art of this show.
这是一个以角色驱动的故事,所以故事的情节是标准的生活剧,通过剧情中角色们日复一日的生活展开。无论如何,即便生活剧不合你的口味,至少尝试一下这部动画。<放浪息子>某种程度上是一部传统类型的逆转型作品,它将严肃剧情引入生活剧,没有重复陈腐和烂俗的桥段。和轻喜剧生活片相反,不要期望这部动画是欢乐的,应该期待的是感动。这部动画的音乐和艺术风格,都非常类似<青花>,它所制造美妙的气氛使你远离你所生活的现实,带你径直走入剧中人的世界,你会陶醉于这部动画的艺术风格中。
At only 11 episodes, you really don't have an excuse for not watching this show. Wandering Son will restore hope in the heart of the most jaded anime fan and it will leave you wishing there was more of this story, or at least more stories as well done as this. While the subject matter is mostly what I focus on, that aside, Wandering Son is an amazingly beautiful show that demonstrates the power that animation can have. Disney and Pixar should take notes from this series.
考虑到<放浪息子>仅有11话,你真的没有理由拒绝看看这部动画。<放浪息子>将恢复许多已经厌倦的动画爱好者的希望。这部动画将使你期望更多这种故事,或者至少更多和这部动画同样水准的剧本。就我所关注的题材来说,<放浪息子>是一部惊艳的作品,宣告了动画这种形式能够拥有的力量。迪士尼和皮克斯应该留意一下这部动画。
=============================================
作为一篇评论,这篇并不好,很多赞美过于空泛,显得有点过誉。而且很多观点我并不同意,比如我并不认为<放浪息子>是一部传统意义上处理敏感题材的伦理片,我更倾向于认为这是一部涉及敏感题材,但以青春群像和成长生活为主的现实主义成长片。最后提到迪斯尼和皮克斯也很搞笑,这些商业片大厂基本不会碰这种敏感题材的,<放浪息子>也没有特别值得一提的技法创新。但我对这篇评论感兴趣的东西在于东西方国家对这部作品不同的反映和态度,这篇文章就成为一个典型了。日本人基本上除了骂两句变态,很少又从LGBT角度出发的意见,这显得日本整体上对LGBT处于一种完全不接受不了解的状态。而志村贵子从<放浪息子>到<青花>的题材总是围绕LGBT相关的边缘题材(虽然女校里的百合情节在日本算是主流伦理题材之一),而以同性恋问题为主的LGBT问题算是欧美社会、政治和伦理的主流论战话题之一,这导致志村贵子显得在欧美语境里更容易获得理解。要知道<放浪息子>在美国甚至被图书馆联盟推荐为青少年最佳图书的候选作品,漫画原著很早就被引入美国(虽然只引进了两册),以至于动画播出时原著党的比例居然惊人的高。考虑到志村贵子后记里编辑说她对欧美艺术和文化相当喜爱和熟悉,这种看起来像是“生活在本国的外国人”的现象在艺术家里并不是不能理解。
昨天牙疼睡不着,之前看到这篇评论从这个角度说有点意思,上次在帖子里也提到了这篇评论,就顺手翻了,有点生硬,润色推敲太考究汉语功力了,我懒,你们将就看看。
