寒蝉鸣泣之时

安静的农舍内，鸭妈妈正趴在窝中闭目养神，静心等待羽毛下那些新生命的到来。可是有一个小家伙似乎耐不住这样的寂寞，他自顾自滚出温暖的窝，径直撞倒了熟睡的汤姆面前。迷迷糊糊的汤姆无意中坐扁了鸭蛋，幸运的是那只莽撞的小鸭子奎克（Quacker）没有受任何伤，望着第一眼看到的汤姆，奎克热情地扑了上去，俨然将馋嘴的老猫当作自己的妈妈。美食在前，汤姆来者不拒，他直起架子，并将奎克绑在上面准备烤熟。刚好路过与此的杰瑞急忙救下奎克，然而奎克毫不领情，认定汤姆就是最最疼爱自己的好妈妈……本片是制作人Fred Quimby退休之后，两位主创（William Hanna和Joseph Barbera）首次担任制作人的作品。

Passages from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake 1965 16mm film 90minsThis was the first attempt to cinematize the works of Irish author James Joyce. Based more on a stage adaptation by Mary Manning than the Joyce novel itself, the film concentrates on Dublin pubkeeper Finnegan (Martin J. Kelly), who while in the throes of inebriation has a vision of his own death. As the bemused Finnegan lies in his coffin, his friends gather for his wake. The "corpse" tries to cut through the keening and platitudes by probing the innermost thoughts of those closest to him. The surprising aspect of this film is that so much of its difficult text works on screen--a tribute to the loving care of scripter/director/ editor Mary Ellen Bute, who, while preparing this film spent her waking hours picking the brains and burrowing through the resource materials of the James Joyce Society.Although director Mary Ellen Bute’s highly regarded Finnegans Wake (aka Passages from Finnegans Wake) is a unique film that is likely to baffle anyone unfamiliar with James Joyce, it cannot be dismissed merely as a literary exercise. The director was right in claiming that her film was “not a translation of the book but a reaction to it”. It is actually based on a stage play by Mary Manning, who was also responsible for the screenplay. Joyce’s elliptical rhetoric and intricate punning, which might be considered a formidable barrier to the filming of this most opaque of his works, proved to be an attraction to Bute, whose enthusiasm for the ‘visual’ and ‘kinetic’ quality of his language led her to the surprising but well-judged move of running subtitles from the original text to support the dialogue.Visual music pioneer Mary Ellen Bute's final film was also her first feature film. James Joyce's classic story of Irish tavern-keeper who dreams of attending his own wake is brought to the screen with a sparkling energy which highlights its maker's career-long exploration of kinetic abstract animation. Perhaps best described as a 'film poem,' Passages from Finnegans Wake was the first attempt to 'cinematize' the works of James Joyce, featuring the author's highly original language spoken by characters and presented as text on screen.
