从电影《长日留痕》看其对原著批判视角的隐匿

The Concealment of the Critical Perspective to the Original Novel from the Case《The Remains of the Day》

石黑一雄的长篇小说《去日留痕》以宏大的时代背景,深邃的主题和怀旧哀婉的笔调为其特色。但它不仅仅是写一个逝去的爱情故事,更多的是在故事情节的演进中去探讨国家—社会—人三者间的互动关系,以及一个人怎样才算是完美的完成了一生。在翻拍成电影后,影片却将英帝国没落带来的冲击这样宏大的命题弱化成了一个简单、凄凉的爱情故事,从而成功地隐匿了原著中的批判视角。总体来说,影片进行了三个方面视角的隐匿:精英政治批判视角、市民社会视角、异化批判视角。

Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel 《The Remains of the Day》is characterized by its grand background, profound themes and nostalgia.But it’s not just about a lost love story,it is more about the interaction between the state、society and people,And how can a person complete his life perfectly.After remaking the novel into the movie, the grand proposition of the fall of the British Empire have been weakened into a simple heart-breaking love story.Thus successfully conceal the critical perspective of the original work.Generally speaking, the film conceals from three perspectives: elite political criticism, civil society and alienation criticism.
