夏娃的诱惑之天使

最近，在萨特的遗稿中发现了一部电影剧本手稿，这便是一九五八年由好莱坞的约翰·哈斯顿导演，蒙哥马利·克利夫特领衔主演，萨特编剧的二流电影《弗洛伊德》。值得庆幸的是，这部手稿没有因为电影的不成功而被萨特毁掉。现在人们可以通过这部电影剧本进一步了解萨特对弗洛伊德的具体看法如何，特别是因为这部电影在上映时应萨特的要求没有打出他的编剧的名字，很多人还不知道是出自他老先生的手笔。萨特为什么不想让人知道是他写的呢？原来是这样的：一九五八年约翰·哈斯顿来找萨特，请他写一部《弗洛伊德》的电影脚本。萨特答应了，先写了一份长达九十五页打印好的提要出来。哈斯顿看了以后认为满意，请他继续写拍摄脚本。可是这个脚本太长，如果要照这个本子拍戏，恐怕要拍上七个小时的电影，一般没有受过严格的智力训练的观众，可就受不了了。第一稿没有通过，哈斯顿请他删改。可改出来的本子依然冗长。哈斯顿要他再改，萨特坚决不答应。最后，要开拍了，萨特无奈只好又改，只是要求在上映时不要打出他的名字。这不禁令人奇怪，为什么哈斯顿一开始要找萨特写弗洛伊德呢？他知道，萨特本人对于弗氏及其学说是出名的冷淡，并且根本不承认弗氏的无意识说，至少他认为这个提法不确。他曾提出过自己的一套所谓存在主义精神分析，用以补充和改造弗洛伊德的精神分析。不错，萨特也曾写过几部剧本，这些剧本也搬上了银幕。但是，他写的剧本，一旦拍成电影就很可能是一大篇哲学演讲式的说教，使一般观众难以接受。然而，哈斯顿却偏要去找他，而他居然答应了。尽管萨特不喜欢弗洛伊德，但是，平心而论，这个电影剧本虽然没有吹捧弗氏，倒也不见得有十分的敌意。对两场主要的戏，萨特都花了笔墨和功夫。第一场戏讲的是弗洛伊德在他一生事业的前十年摸索精神分析的目的和治疗方法。这十年，弗氏制定了，或者说发现了自己的明确目标是要尽力摆脱他人的影响。萨特描述了正在探索前进道路的弗洛伊德是如何竭力摆脱西奥多·梅勒特、约瑟夫·布鲁诺和讨厌的威廉·弗里斯这些人对他的包围和粗暴干扰。尤其对弗里斯这个人，萨特把他说成是一个魔鬼，而众所周知，这些人都是弗洛伊德的朋友、同事，特别是弗里斯，更是他的亲密朋友。在第二场里，主要表现了一大群患歇斯底里症的女病人，她们接受了弗洛伊德的精神分析治疗，有的获得了痊愈。最后，弗洛伊德还是弗洛伊德，一个步入中年，深感孤独的人，一个没有神，没有父亲的存在主义英雄。总的来说，萨特笔下的弗洛伊德，不仅是一个具有同情心和科学头脑的医生，而且是一个因为不肯承认有弑父心理而深感苦恼的人。同时，弗氏对奥地利的反犹思潮也显得忧心忡忡。在另一方面，弗氏被描绘成一个非常严厉的人，萨特说他有时有点象斯大林。在诊所里，他随时准备为采取最残忍的治疗方法进行辩护，而用最后的成功来证明其善意的初衷。他对那些维也纳的中产阶级死硬派进行报复，揭他们的丑，这一点似乎也表明了萨特本人对法国资产阶，级的仇恨心理。上述这些，当然在拍电影时都被删掉了，所以这个剧本就更值得一读。目前这个剧本已被译成英文，其中收入了萨特写的第一稿全文和第二稿的部分场景。全剧分三幕，每组镜头都无一例外地表现出弗洛伊德这位精神分析大师的自我创造，无疑，这也是萨特的存在主义对精神分析的改造。对于弗氏的精神分析疗法无论是喜欢还是嘲笑，从来还没有人象萨特这样把它写成一部具有丰富内涵的剧本。

陈奕迅(Eason)2006年2月中旬在香港红馆举行一连九场的《Get A Life演唱会》历史性集合他于华星、英皇及新艺宝三个不同时代的38首精选金曲，包括：出道成名作“伤信”、“黑夜不再来”、英皇时期的金曲“Shall We Talk”、“明年今日”、“K歌之王”、2005年复出唱片《U87》之“浮夸”、“夕阳无限好”、“葡萄成熟时”、新碟《Life Continues》内主打歌的“最佳损友”等。虽然Eason离开乐坛一年，今次再战乐坛成绩斐然，《Get A Life演唱会》九场全部爆满，Eason更创新地以丧礼概念为演唱会揭开序幕，舞台以不规则黑色图案组成；Eason以全黑服饰出场，意念大胆创新。Eason以一曲“浮夸”出场，由德国交响乐团打头阵。接近三个小时的演唱会充斥着诡异气氛，有妖怪、蜘蛛助阵在台上跳舞，又出现撞车、打雷下雨、火烧木屋等场面。演唱会除了大玩诡异外，Eason也尽现亲情，他在台上对着女儿小康堤唱“大个女”及“单车”，尽显温情，最后在一片热烈的欢呼声下结束《Get A Life演唱会》。

这部电影记载了上世纪中叶美国一场轰烈的政治抗争，此次对抗冲突是美国新闻界和政治史册上不可或缺的一页。在冷战的背景下，参议员约瑟夫•麦卡锡（Joseph McCarthy Himself）作为新兴政治人物崛起，他以反共产主义的政治立场而闻名。麦卡锡用强硬的手腕，搜集国会内的共产主义分子资料，实行高压的政治迫害，意欲掀起席卷政坛的反共风潮。美国哥伦比亚电视台的新闻记者爱德华（大卫·斯特雷泽恩 David Strathairn饰）和他的同事们对这个政治阴谋坚决抗争。他们用自己的新闻理想、新闻阵地，毫无退缩地与麦卡锡主义对抗到底，并把这个丑陋的政客拉下政治舞台。爱德华和他的同事，成为了美国历史上的传奇人物。

*Shinjuku Mad* was one ofKoji Wakamatsu's six films from 1970. Grim and gritty, stark and steady, burdened with anti-moralizing, generously padded with sex, and totally redeemed by a soundtrack that needs to be released NOW. I knew nothing about this film, loading it up on to my laptop, and every last one of this film's sixty-sixty minutes kept me riveted.Bear with me. The film opens with the band cycling through a jazzy rave-up, the black and images depict dead Japanese throughout a modern city. From the alleyways of the slums, to center of the park, you catch glimpses of bodies everywhere. This introduction is capped off by a lingering shot of a blood-soaked naked woman, face down. By this point, the band has reached a sort of peak. There's a cut, the band changes the direction of the song a bit, and then we're treated to a series of exterior shots from downtown, the lunch hour, maybe. You see a lot of storefronts and stairwells, people moving about. All of the people in these splices are done in negative image.What follows can only be described as harrowing. After the credits, the reel switches to color. We're treated to the on-screen stabbing of a young man in a toga, his attackers strip his special lady-friend of her toga, spend about two minutes smearing her breasts with still-warm blood, and then take turns raping her. She doesn't seem to put up much of a fight. The scene is lensed with all of the enthusiasm of a television spot for a whole foods market.Well, that's a fucked up way to start a movie. If you're still reading, I'll have you know the brutality eases up a little, but the camera's tendency to seek out each scene's more lurid details is relentless. The band never lets up, either. Another constant feature of the film is the protagonist's alienation from society. That's a pretty dated-concept, in a way. This film is cashing in on what could loosely be called the Existential demographic in 1970's Japan. Parts of it could have been written by Oe. Others by Mishima. It definitely, at times, addresses a bit of that lingering air of revolution, but more on that later.The father of the kid stabbed in Technicolor shows up in the nest reel, in the same apartment his son was murdered in. This confused, grieving father asks a totally baked Shoko Asahara for information about the events leading up to his son's death. The long-haired no-goodnik is toking on a Sharpie-sized doobie. He gets so fucking high he passes out and the dad is left there in the empty apartment, getting a major contact-buzz.So, the plot is basically that kind of exchange in larger and larger settings, intercut with glorious shots of the disillusioned father walking through industrial slums. The father, searching for the "Why" to his son's death goes on his quest and pisses just about everyone he comes into contact with off. He goes into subway stations and totally kills some beatniks' buzzes. Then he bullies a Hare Krishna ROCK AND ROLL SUPERSTAR and his belly-dancing percussionist at a park. Then he heads off to a bar, and we're treated to what must have been Tokyo's Greatest Garage Band getting low-down and sleazy here. This scene pretty much sums up what the film is about. As you dig the scuzz and the fuzz, the camera catches all manner of degeneracy and wanton reefer-use. And the bar has no less than three groups of people making out. And they get excessive with the groping.Eventually, the father catches the ringleader of the vicious band of murderer-rapists. "Shinjuku Mad," is his name. After an unbelievably long and convoluted exchange between the protagonist and Shinjuku Mad, it comes out that Mad and the boys are rebelling against all of Japan. It's open season on everyone but them. His son was only a casualty, nothing personal. Their intent is to go on rebelling against society through random acts of violence against people and property.After going through all the trouble of finding Shinjuku Mad, the old man's mind is blown by revolution for revolution's sake. After a few pummellings, he manages to turn the fight around. He winds up leaving with a nude girl that had been tied to a post for the entire scene.He goes back to the apartment his son was murdered in to find his special lady-friend naked with six other dope-smoking cats grooving on free love and blue balls.He decides he's happier with Shinjuku Mad alive and kicking, the band is at another one of its high points, and the camera pans out to the railroad yard, telephones wires, and the bare sides of modern buildings.That was Japan, thirty-seven years ago.
