周末和二小一起看了《悲慘世界》。老二沒(méi)這興趣,一邊看,一邊打恐龍游戲。老大還挺愿意看的,因?yàn)閳?chǎng)景華麗、加上唱歌,很熱鬧。一邊看,一邊問(wèn)一堆匪夷所思的問(wèn)題,我基本沒(méi)辦法以她明白的方式回答出來(lái)。
很不錯(cuò)的音樂(lè)劇電影。百老匯的這出經(jīng)典看過(guò)和聽(tīng)過(guò)好幾遍,所以對(duì)音樂(lè)、情節(jié)都沒(méi)有什么好奇。但是舊作新拍,觀(guān)影感受還是大有提升。
電影里小男孩留下深刻印象。網(wǎng)上找到他的一個(gè)唱段,記下來(lái):

轉(zhuǎn)載一些雨果關(guān)于自己這部著作的解釋?zhuān)矣X(jué)得和中國(guó)社會(huì)有一定對(duì)照性:
So long as there shall exist, by reason of law and custom, a social condemnation, which, in the face of civilization, artificially creates hells on earth, and complicates a destiny that is divine with human fatality; so long as the three problems of the age—the degradation of man by poverty, the ruin of women by starvation, and the dwarfing of childhood by physical and spiritual night—are not solved; so long as, in certain regions, social asphyxia shall be possible; in other words, and from a yet more extended point of view, so long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, books like this cannot be useless.
The book which the reader has before him at this moment is, from one end to the other, in its entirety and details ... a progress from evil to good, from injustice to justice, from falsehood to truth, from night to day, from appetite to conscience, from corruption to life; from bestiality to duty, from hell to heaven, from nothingness to God. The starting point: matter, destination: the soul. The hydra at the beginning, the angel at the end.
I don't know whether it will be read by everyone, but it is meant for everyone. It addresses England as well as Spain, Italy as well as France, Germany as well as Ireland, the republics that harbour slaves as well as empires that have serfs. Social problems go beyond frontiers. Humankind's wounds, those huge sores that litter the world, do not stop at the blue and red lines drawn on maps. Wherever men go in ignorance or despair, wherever women sell themselves for bread, wherever children lack a book to learn from or a warm hearth, Les Miserables knocks at the door and says: "open up, I am here for you".
