电视剧《大佛开眼》对吉备真备形象的重塑

吉备真备是日本杰出的政治家与学者,曾两度作为遣唐使来中国学习。2010年NHK大阪电视台推出了以吉备真备为主人公的电视剧《大佛开眼》。该剧围绕修建东大寺卢舍那大佛一事揭开了平安时代的历史,塑造了真备德才兼备、忧国忧民、刚正不阿、情感细腻的人物形象。通过真备形象影视化的这一尝试不难发现历史人物影视化的做法为大众深度了解历史人物提供了多元视角,也显示了艺术重塑与历史真实之间的距离。

Kibi Makibi was a distinguished Japanese politician and scholar,who was one of the Japanese missions to Tang China and was sent to China twice.In 2010,NHK Osaka TV released a TV drama Da Fo Kai Yan with Kibi Makibi as the main character.The drama,centering on the construction of Rocana Buddha in Todaiji Temple,unravels the history of the Heian Period and portrays Makibi as a man of virtue,talent,integrity and sensitivity who also shared his concern with the nation and the people.Such practice not only proves that the filmization of historical figures can offer diverse perspectives for the public to learn more about them,but also shows the distance between artistic reconstruction and historical reality.
