电影《沉默》与原著中的“神圣风景”的比较

A Comparison of "Holy Landscape" in the Film Silence and Original Novel

马丁·斯科塞斯执导的电影《沉默》依据日本天主教作家远藤周作的同名宗教主题小说改编。在小说与电影中,创作者均用大量笔墨书写、呈现神甫洛特里哥视野中的神圣风景——大海,将"海的沉默"视为"神的沉默"回应主题。结合基督教在日传播史、"文学—电影"改编中的神圣风景与殉教,以及人本主义地理学视角下艺术作品中风景的分析可以看出,被建构的神圣风景承担着异质文化间沟通媒介的作用。

Directed by Martin Scorsese, the film Silence is based on the religion-theme novel written by Shusaku Endo, a Japanese Catholic writer. In the film and the novel, both artist employed various means to review the Catholic father＇s view of the holy landscape--the sea, meanwhile, it was echoed by seeing ＂silence of sea＂ as the ＂silence of God＂. With a reference to the history of spreading of Christianity in Japan, the holy landscape and martyrdom in the adaption of ＂literature-film＂, and the function of landscape in the artistic works which is analyzed from the perspective of humanistic geography, it can be concluded that the construction of holy landscape plays the role of communication between heterogeneous cultures.
