V for Vendetta 带来的审思 4

" How did this happen? Who's to blame?Certainly there are those who are more responsible than others.And they will be held accountable.But again, truth be told,if you're looking for the guilty you need only look into a mirror."

"Our integrity sells for so little,but it is all we really have.It is the very last inch of us.But within that inch we are free. "


一个国家的政府如果一手遮天, 控制媒体, 三权不分,是可悲. 但如果人民连最后的正义, 勇敢, 争取民主的意识也没有的话, 是更加更加的可悲的.


人民的恐惧, 造就恶势力的强大, 在恶性循环之下, 许多微弱的, 正义的声音就这样子消失了, 包括人的性命,在大马, 不是才刚刚发生类似的案件吗?


斗争不应该通过武力解决, 但温和的方式如果有用那世界上也不会有那么多的暴乱了. 其实不管用何种方式, 不变的信念以及不断灌输, 才是 争取自由的核心力量. 就像电影里提到的启示, 人可以被消灭, 或转换给不同的人, 但信念如一,那才是最强大的力量.

"Evey在牢房中发现写在手纸上面的自传，这位名叫Valerie的女人，是病毒 试验的牺牲品，她因为是同性恋而被关入牢房，受到非人的折磨，但她偷偷在牢房中写下的自传，却为Evey，指明了光明的道路。这毫无疑问是电影史上最动人 的自述之一，那“最后一英寸”的坚守，为人类的尊严，奏响了最华彩的篇 章。

I know there's no way I can convince you this is not one of their tricks, but I don't care.I am me.My name is Valerie.I don't think I'll live much longer,and I wanted to tell someone about my life.This is the only autobiography that I will ever write and, God I'm writing it on toilet paper.

I was born in Nottingham in 1985.I don't remember much of those early years,but I do remember the rain.My grandmother owned a farm in Tottle Brook and she used to tell me that God was in the rain.I passed my 11 Plus and went to girls' grammar.It was at school that I met my first girlfriend.Her name was Sarah.It was her wrists.They were beautiful.I thought we would love each other forever.I remember our teacher telling us that it was an adolescent phase that people outgrew.Sarah did.I didn't.In 2002, I fell in love with a girl named Christina.That year I came out to my parents.I couldn't have done it without Chris holding my hand.My father wouldn't look at me.He told me to go and never come back.My mother said nothing.But I'd only told them the truth.Was that so selfish?Our integrity sells for so little,but it is all we really have.It is the very last inch of us.But within that inch we are free.

I'd always known what I wanted to do with my life and in 2015 I starred in my first film,The Salt Flats.It was the most important role of my life.Not because of my career but because that was how I met Ruth.The first time we kissed, I knew I never wanted to kiss any other lips but hers again.We moved to a small flat in London together.She grew Scarlet Carsons for me in our window box and our place always smelt of roses. Those were the best years of my life.But America's war grew worse and worse,and eventually came to London.After that, there were no roses anymore.Not for anyone.I remember how the meaning of words began to change.How unfamiliar words like "collateral" and "rendition" became frightening while things like "Norsefire" and the "Articles of Allegiance" became powerful.I remember how "different" became dangerous. I still don't understand it why they hate us so much.They took Ruth while she was out buying food. I've never cried so hard in my life.It wasn't long till they came for me.

It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place.But for three years,I had roses and apologized to no one.I shall die here.Every inch of me shall perish.Every inch...but one.An inch.It is small, and it is fragile,and it is the only thing in the world worth having.We must never lose it or give it away.We must never let them take it from us.I hope that, whoever you are,you escape this place.I hope that the world turns and that things get better.But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you and even though I may never meet you laugh with you, cry with you or kiss you,I love you.With all my heart I love you.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ——Valerie

　　我知道不能说服你去相信这不是秘密警察的又一个把戏，但是我不在意。我就是我，我的名字是Valerie，我不认为自己还能活很久了，但我希望能把一生的故事告诉别人，这是我写过的唯一自传，上帝阿，竟写在草纸上。
　 　我1985年出生在诺丁汉，我不太记得小时候的事情了，不过却记得那里的雨。我的祖母在托德布鲁克有间农场，她曾经告诉我上帝就在雨中。11岁多的时候 我去了女校，在那里遇到了我第一个女朋友，她的名字是Sarah，她的手腕，是那么的美丽，我以为我们会相爱到永远。记得我们的老师说这只是青春期的一个 阶段而已，对Sarah来说是的，但对我却不是。2002年，我与Christina相爱了，那一年我们告诉了我父母，如果不是Chris握着我的手，我 永远不会有勇气那么做。我的父亲厌恶到不愿意看我，他要我滚出家门再不要回来，母亲则保持了沉默。但是我仅仅是告诉他们真相，难道这就那么自私吗？我们的 正直诚实并不值钱，但却是我们的所有一切，那是我们最后的一英寸，在这一英寸中，我们是自由的。
　　我向来知道自己的目标在何方，2015年，我 主演了第一部电影。那是我生命中最重要的角色，不是因为对我演艺事业的帮助，而是因为通过这个角色，我遇到了Ruth。我们第一次接吻时我就知道，我这一 生再也不想亲吻其他的人。我们搬到伦敦的一个小公寓里面，Ruth在窗台上种植猩红卡尔森，整个屋子永远都溢满花香，那是我生命中最好的日子。但是美国内 战愈演愈烈，最终战火烧到了伦敦，之后，我们再也不能种植玫瑰了，谁也不能，我还记得话语的意义在变化，那些陌生的词语“株连”“引申”变得可怕起来，而 “斯堪的纳维亚族之火”和“效忠宣言”这样的词变得强大无比，我记得“不同”变得危险，我始终不能明白为什么他们这么恨我们。Ruth出去买食物的时候他 们抓走了她，我从没有哭的这么厉害过，我知道离他们抓走我也不远了。
　　我的生命会在这么糟糕的地方结束真是奇怪，但是在生命中的三年里，我拥有 过玫瑰且问心无愧。我会死在这里，我的每一英寸都会腐烂，每一英寸……只剩一英寸。这一英寸，它渺小，脆弱，但却是世界上唯一值得拥有的一英寸，我们绝不 能放弃或者背叛它，我们绝不能让人把这一英寸都夺走。我希望，无论你是谁，你能逃离这里，我希望，这个世界已经改变而形势已经好转，但我最大的希望，是你 能明白：当我说，“我爱你”时的意义，我不知道你是谁，也未曾与你共度时光，共享欢笑泪水或亲吻，可我却爱你，全心全意地爱你。

V for Vendetta 带来的审思 2

其中一幕, V 向全体人民做出的致词: (以下中英文是转载自其它网页的, 个人认为意思还很不错地给带了出来)

"这段话是V发表的电视演讲，作为自由主义的宣言，它影射了我们这个时代的危机，再次告诫人们：永远不要放弃自由！

Good evening, London.Allow me first to apologize .I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of the everyday routine,the security of the familiar,the tranquility of repetition.I enjoy them as much as any bloke.But in the spirit of commemoration.Whereby important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful, bloody struggle are celebrated with a nice holiday.I thought we could mark this November the 5th a day that is, sadly,no longer remembered by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat.There are, of course,those who do not want us to speak.Even now, orders are being shouted into telephones and men with guns will soon be on their way.Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power.Words offer the means to meaning and, for those who will listen,the enunciation of truth.And the truth is ：there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice,intolerance and oppression.And where once you had the freedom to object to think and speak as you saw fit， you now have censors and surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting submission.

How did this happen? Who's to blame?Certainly there are those who are more responsible than others.And they will be held accountable.But again, truth be told,if you're looking for the guilty you need only look into a mirror.I know why you did it.I know you were afraid.Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease.There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense.

Fear got the best of you.And in your panic, you turned to the now High Chancellor Adam Sutler.He promised you order,he promised you peace and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night, I sought to end that silence.Last night,I destroyed the Old Bailey to remind this country of what it has forgotten.More than 400 years ago, a great citizen wished to imbed the 5th of November forever in our memory.His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice and freedom are more than words.They are perspectives.So if you've seen nothing ,if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you,then I would suggest that you allow the 5th of November to pass unmarked.But if you see what I see ,if you feel as I feel,and if you would seek as I seek,then I ask you to stand beside me,one year from tonight,outside the gates of Parliament.And together, we shall give them a 5th of November that shall never, ever be forgot.

翻译：

　　晚安，伦敦。首先，请允 许我为这样的打扰而道歉。我，和你们一样，喜欢每日安定稳固带来的舒适，熟悉不变带来的安全，和循环往复带来的宁静。我享受这些，就如同所有的凡人。但 是，本着铭记和悼念，我想问问：为何历史上通常伴随着死亡或者痛苦折磨的大事要用欢乐的庆典来纪念？（指阴谋的纪念日）我认为我们可以悲哀地说，11月5 日，人们不再抽出时间，坐下来，以自由的交谈来把它纪念。当然，有些人，不想让我们谈，实际上，现在就已经有人在电话中叫喊着命令，士兵们已经出发在路 上。为什么？因为虽然警棍的暴虐取代了谈话的公正，语言，依然有着力量！这些语言对于有心人来说，是真相的阐明，而真相就是：这个国家大大的不对头了，难 道不是吗？残酷与不公，歧视与压迫，从前能够自由地反对、自由地思考、自由地说出真实想法的国家，现在却成了审查和监视的国度，要求你的绝对一致和服从。

　 　这一切是怎么发生的？这都要怪谁？当然有些人要负起责任而他们也会被惩罚，但是，再一次我们说出真话：如果你们要找那个真正负责的人，只需要看着镜子就可以了。我知道你们为什么这么做，我知道你们被吓坏了，谁不害怕呢？战争、恐怖主义、瘟疫，可怕的问题如此之多，共同侵蚀了你的理性和常识，恐惧是控制你 们的最好方法。然后，当你们惊恐异常之时，投入了最高元首亚当·苏特勒的怀抱。他向你们承诺了秩序、和平，他要的回报仅仅是你们的沉默和服从。昨夜，我结 束了这种沉默，我炸毁了最高法院来提醒这个国家它忘记了什么！４００多年以前，一个伟大的公民试图把１１月５日永远铭刻在我们的心中，他希望提醒这个世 界：平等、公正和自由不是泛泛之谈，而是高耸的灯塔。所以如果，你什么也没看到，如果，你始终无视这个政府的罪行，我建议你让１１月５日就这样平淡溜走。 但是如果你看到了我所看到的，如果你感到了我所感到的，如果你追寻我所追寻的，那么，我请你在明年的１１月５日的夜晚，在议会的大门外，与我肩并肩站在一 起，一起给他们，一个永远永远也不能忘记的，１１月５日！"

V for Vendetta 带来的审思 1

我在大学时 曾看过一 部蛮有意义 的电影, 它 叫做 V for Vendetta, V 怪客 .

很歹势 地 讲 , 当时我对整部戏 的情节有点模糊, 因为它是没有subtitle的,有些用字很深, 听到我一个头两个大, 所以有点blur blur,不过这绝对不影响我观看的兴致. 前几天,我重温了这个电影, 有中文字幕的. 看完之后, 觉得很多细节弄明白了,有一种茅塞顿开的感觉,几年心结被解开(其实也不过2年酱而已啦),真是爽到不得了.

故事讲述一个在法西斯主义统治的国家里, 人民被秘密警察监督, 腐败, 暴力在人民对当权者的畏惧下侵蚀了民主, 自由的声音. 一个自称V的怪客, 决定在历史性的11月5 日, 推翻现有的独裁政府, 还给国家人民真正的自由. 于是, 一系列 精心策划的极端暴力刺杀, 轰炸行动向政府展开. 他那怪异诡笑的 面具,在片尾炸毁象征政府的大楼中, 燃烧了人民坚决的信念以及希望.

V怪客是政府生化研究下的产物,极端的, 残酷的实验环境带给他 无坚不摧的改革信念的意志力.女主角Evey在他的磨炼下克服了恐惧, 陪随他走上复仇兼改革的道路. V 说: "人民不该对政府存有恐惧, 政府才应该害怕人民". 他热爱艺术, 追求完美, 并将之融入他的摧毁计划当中. 戏里有两幕令人异常动容: 一个是V在控制电台后向全体人民致上他一直以来不断斗争的目的以及意义; 第二幕是女主角被关在拘留房里读到的一封自白, 让她得以在严酷的拷问下不屈服, 给予她支反抗恶势力的力量.

电影的感染力很强, 我建议大家不妨抽空看看, 想想, 这部充满斗争行性的电影, 对现在的大马是否也可以得出一个相当的诠释?
