Macworld’s Jason Cross sounds like he’s taking an approach along somewhat similar lines to my Apple product diaries with his Vision Pro review, saying that he’s going to take time before giving a verdict – and in the meantime share some of his early take-outs.

more…2008年斯蒂芬·达尔德里导演的电影《朗读者》,改编自1995年本哈德·施林克所创作的小说《朗读者》。这部电影令人印象深刻,我看完电影之后还专门看了一下原著小说,由译林出版社翻译,感想颇深,因此就写一篇人物分析。
女主角凯特·温丝莱特在片中的表现无疑是整部电影最大的亮点,凯特·温丝莱特饰演的汉娜是一个复杂而矛盾的角色,凯特·温丝莱特在电影中展现了出色的表演技巧,将汉娜这个角色呈现得淋漓尽致,既有女性的魅力和温柔,又有纳粹的冷酷和无知,既有文盲的自卑和固执,又有爱情的渴望和牺牲。凯特·温丝莱特也凭借这部电影的出色表演,获得了奥斯卡最佳女主角、金球奖最佳女配角、英国电影学院奖最佳女主角等多个奖项。
剧情概要
影片的剧情分为三个时间段,第一段是1958年的德国,一个15岁的少年米夏遇到一个36岁的少妇汉娜,发展出一段不伦之恋,汉娜有个奇怪的癖好,喜欢让米夏在做爱前给她读书,有一天,汉娜从检票员升职到办公室,她却突然不辞而别。
第二段是1966年,米夏在法律学校实习,毕业前参加了一次审判的旁听,再度见到汉娜,汉娜被指控做过纳粹集中营的女看守的主管,庭审中,汉娜拒绝进行笔迹对比,让米夏突然醒悟了,原来汉娜根本不识字,汉娜因为不愿在众人面前暴露自己不认字的事实,认下本不属于自己的重罪。
第三段是汉娜被判刑入狱之后,米夏也结婚了,但五年后就离婚了,汉娜服刑的第八年,米夏开始给狱中的汉娜寄自己朗读的磁带,持续了十年,这让汉娜重新找到了活着的意义和勇气,汉娜也自学了识字和阅读,汉娜被关押十八年后,终于获得了释放,米夏和汉娜见面时,却不肯宽恕汉娜在集中营时的行为,汉娜发现自己的爱情和希望在现实中幻灭时,她选择了自杀。
人物的履历
汉娜,1922年出生,在南欧的一个德国人居留地(罗马尼亚)长大,从小没受过文化教育,不识字,她对于自己不识字感到非常羞耻,17岁时去了柏林,在西门子做过女工,1943年,为了隐瞒自己不识字,拒绝了西门子的升职,而申请党卫军集中营的看守的工作,1944年进行了所谓的死亡迁徙,1945年二战结束以后,她辗转于许多城市之间工作生活,在柏林做了八年有轨电车售票员,没有结过婚,1958年遇到了比自己小21岁的米夏,引诱米夏和自己上床,1966年因纳粹集中营的罪行被审判,1988年出狱并自杀。
米夏,1943年出生,在柏林的一个中产家庭长大,父亲是大学的哲学教授,有哥哥、姐姐和妹妹,一共兄妹四人,1958年遇到汉娜的时候是个15岁的中学生,之后在大学学法律专业,1966年在法庭旁听审判再次遇到汉娜,大学毕业后当上了候补文官,之后结婚并有了一个女儿,女儿五岁时离婚,女儿跟了妈妈,候补文官任期完结后,米夏的前妻当了法官,米夏则从事法律方面工作,并在业余时间写作。
为什么汉娜宁愿认罪也不肯说出自己不识字的事实?
1933年,纳粹党掌权,接管或关闭所有的私立学校,大幅度减少了学校招收学生的人数,推行极端的“黑色教育”,向学生大力灌输民族沙文主义、军国主义,煽动民族仇恨,当年汉娜11岁,上面那些原因可能导致了汉娜在学生时代没有受到过良好教育。
汉娜做为一个文盲,对于文化、以及文化人有一种天生的崇拜,并对于自己不识字感到羞耻,她会不惜一切代价,让别人不知道自己不识字,以维护自己的形象和尊严。
汉娜极力隐瞒自己是文盲,长时间以来,做任何事情的底线就是不能泄露自己是个文盲,包括之前在西门子的升职,以及在电车售票员的升职,为了避免被人发现不识字,宁可放弃工作不辞而别。
在审判过程中,汉娜为了隐瞒自己不识字,承认了关键性报告是自己写的,她不想用内心珍藏的自我形象来换取少蹲几年牢狱,她对自己的形象视若珍宝,绝对不是几年监狱生活所能换的。
结果,汉娜为了维护自己这样的自我形象,反而使得自己变成罪大恶极的战犯,并成为了六名被告里唯一被判终身监禁重罪的罪犯。
实际上,很令人迷惑的情况是,汉娜既然有这么大的决心,那就足够用来学习读书写字,早可以使自己摆脱文盲困境了,为什么不自己学习识字?那样不就什么问题都没有了?从后面监狱的剧情看,汉娜可以自学识字,只不过,那时候学识字,已经太晚了。
在法庭上汉娜应该如何辩护?
当年在纳粹集中营工作的有八千人,但只有汉娜等六名看守被审判,从最终的量刑看,汉娜做为一个普通看守,实际的罪行和刑期并不相匹配,属于被重判的案例。
汉娜吃亏就吃在不识字上,根本不了解起诉书的内容,也错过了很多有利于自己的证人证词,说话也特别老实,知道什么就说什么,毫不忌讳。
针对汉娜最主要的指控有两条:
1、涉及到集中营进行的挑人的事。每个月,有六十名妇女要从奥斯维辛送走,同时,又有同样数量的妇女被送进去,所有人都清楚,送到奥斯维辛就是去送死,汉娜等六名看守负责挑人去送死。
2、另一项指控是教堂死亡之夜有关。在死亡迁徙的路途中,有一天看守把犯人囚禁在一座乡间教堂里,共计三百名妇女,空袭落下的炸弹并不多,其中一颗正好命中教堂的尖塔,一开始,尖塔燃烧起来,接着蔓延到了屋顶,然后,教堂的屋梁烈焰滚滚,终于坍塌到教堂的大厅,里面一排排的椅子立刻起火燃烧,沉重厚实的大门纹丝不动,看守们完全可以将大门打开,可是,她们没有那么做,就这样,锁在教堂里的妇女全都给烧死了。
在庭审过程中,关于集中营挑人的事,证人透露了非常重要的细节:“汉娜挑选妇女的方式非常特别,她专挑那些年轻、纤弱和细嫩的女孩子,不让她们劳动,让她们住得好点、吃得好点,一到晚上就把她们叫去,在她那儿过夜。晚上在她那儿究竟干了些什么?不许那些姑娘讲出来。大家都以为,身材强壮的汉娜会性侵那些瘦弱的女孩子,但是,事情完全不是这样的。有一天,其中一名女孩终于讲出来了。原来,她叫那些姑娘过去,根本不是干什么别的事儿,而是让她们给她朗读书本,一个夜晚接着一个夜晚再接一个夜晚朗读着。然而到了最后,汉娜还是把那些女孩子送去奥斯维辛集中营。”
这个证词其实对汉娜非常有利,汉娜可以这样辩护,她做为一个守卫,她选择那些柔弱的姑娘,是害怕她们吃不消建筑工地的沉重的劳动,因为这些柔弱的姑娘终究要被送到奥斯维辛去,汉娜安排她们吃好点,住好点,还可以读小说,是为了让这些姑娘们能在这段最后的时光里过的舒服一点,好受一点。如果汉娜这么辩护的话,起码会博得大众的同情,认为汉娜是个善良的守卫。
至于那个教堂的死亡之夜,汉娜可以这样辩护,她做为一个守卫,也看到了教堂起火并非常混乱,但她们守卫只有六名,而关在教堂的囚犯有三百名,一旦打开教堂大门,六名守卫很可能会在混乱之中被三百名囚犯制伏,甚至可能被杀,即使守卫没有被制伏,但囚犯肯定会乘机逃跑,到时候守卫也会被党卫军判罪甚至被枪毙。
米夏为什么不肯原谅汉娜?
米夏对于汉娜的憎恨只要源于庭审听到的那些骇人听闻的事件,庭上那些故事讲的有声有色,米夏于是脑补了很多关于汉娜的细节:“汉娜站在熊熊燃烧的教堂前,面孔铁硬,眼神冰冷,一身黑色制服,还手握马鞭子,教堂的塔尖轰然坍塌,砸进屋顶,火焰飞舞,烟雾缭绕,妇女们在烈火中垂死挣扎……汉娜叫那些瘦弱的女孩子给她朗读,她用心倾听,不提问,也不议论。朗读结束,汉娜就告诉朗读者,她将在次日一早被送往奥斯维辛。朗读者是一个弱不禁风的小女孩,茅草般的黑头发,一双近视眼。小女孩一听,马上就哭泣起来。于是,汉娜用拳头捶打墙壁,进来了两名妇女,也是囚犯,穿着黑白相间的直条子囚服,把朗读者拖出去了。”
除了米夏对汉娜的恨,还有米夏对汉娜的羞耻感。
米夏也感到了羞耻,羞耻于曾经和这样的女人发生关系,羞耻地不愿意将这件事告诉他人,其实,米夏在发现汉娜不识字后,如果将这个情况告诉审判长,审判长可能会把汉娜是否识字的情况查清楚,最终导致审判结果的改变,但是,米夏见了审判长,却什么都没有说,汉娜羞于自己不识字,米夏羞于自己同汉娜的那段令人不齿的关系,如果将事情告发,则米夏和汉娜的往事必然会被曝光。
在汉娜入狱后,米夏也给汉娜寄了很多自己录制的朗读小说的磁带,想要启蒙汉娜,但是等到汉娜出狱时,米夏却发现汉娜的思想没啥变化,于是米夏责怪汉娜没学什么东西,白白浪费了别人朗读的精力。
这里我就要说句公道话了,米夏的责怪是完全不对的。
首先,汉娜听了那么多年的书,也学到了一些东西,起码汉娜已经具有一定的文学鉴赏能力和评论能力,能够对文学作品发布一句话左右的评论,这不能说没学到东西吧。
其次,米夏读的大部分都是诗歌和小说这样的文学作品,读那玩意有用吗?说句带有主观色彩的想法,从我们干实际工作的人的眼光看来,学文学跟什么都不学没什么两样。真正想要启蒙一个人,肯定不能依靠文学,我觉得应该依靠科学和哲学才能启蒙一个人。米夏要是把《西方哲学史》给汉娜读一遍,那估计汉娜会学到很多东西,至少人生观、价值观、世界观能有一个初步的轮廓,可惜的是,米夏空有一个教哲学的老爸,自己却对哲学一窍不通,更不要说去启蒙别人了。
当然,如果汉娜的知识水平非常低,通过哲学、伦理学进行启蒙的确有些困难,或许通过宗教进行启蒙更容易一些,如果米夏能够给汉娜读一些宗教知识,也能通过宗教建立一套道德和价值观体系,帮助汉娜区分是非善恶,做出符合社会规范的行为。
其实汉娜也不需要明白什么哲学大道理,只要明白一个简单的道理,一切就都会改变。
“当你必须在正确与善良之间做选择时,请选择善良。”
必须送一些人去死的时候,让她们死之前能够快快乐乐的生活,当牢房着火的时候,打开牢门虽然不正确,但可以救人,很善良。
当你做一些善良而不正确的事情,别人就没有办法再指责你,因为通过法律来指控一个人的善良,就会让指控者在道德的法庭上成为被告。
汉娜为什么最后选择了自杀?
汉娜听了那么多年的书,虽然没有对人生观、价值观有什么启蒙,却意外启蒙了爱情观。
汉娜最初对于米夏并没有爱情,仅仅是利用,汉娜做为一个文盲,乐于通过性爱来征服未经人事的小男学生,让小男生给她读书,对于她来说,有一种独特的征服和驾驭文化人的快感。
接到米夏的磁带后,汉娜知道了米夏已经明白她是文盲,但还寄录音带给她,让她对米夏这样的文化人充满了感激,随着阅读大量爱情小说,让汉娜第一次产生了爱情的感觉。
但她寄给米夏的信没有得到回应,让她心里充满疑惑。
汉娜出狱前和米夏见面,从对话到肢体语言,汉娜明白,米夏不仅仅不再爱她,而且还鄙视她的过去,被自己崇拜的文化人鄙视和轻视,让汉娜感觉自己尊严全失,而且没有未来了,对于她这种好面子的人来说,自杀是唯一的一条出路。
实际上,是米夏直接导致了汉娜的死,这也让我对米夏产生了很大的反感,后来米夏和作家女儿谈到自己和汉娜的性关系,也故意把自己往被害人的方向上引,让作家女儿发出感叹:“这个女人可真狠哪。您吃得消吗,她对您一个才十五岁的孩子……”
米夏你不羞愧吗?当时你难道不是自愿的吗?汉娜虽说假话,但不会说假话伤害他人,一个有思想有教养的文化人,在某些方面的品格恐怕连一个文盲汉娜都不如。
总结
总的来说,这是一部探讨人性和战争的非常精彩的电影和小说,我感觉电影比小说要好看,也可能是翻译的有问题。这部电影最值得讨论的其实还是教育问题,纳粹党垄断全民教育,把学生都培养成为没有头脑的战争机器,培养出千千万万个只能执行命令,而没有头脑的汉娜,知识分子应该如何启蒙这些人,如何把这些战争机器恢复成为普通的正常人,是一个非常值得人们深思的问题。
