課程大綱
在《電影》(一九二六) 一文裡,維吉尼亞o吳爾芙曾說:文學作品與其改編電影的關係,就如不幸的受害者與貪婪的掠奪者或寄生蟲之間的關係一般。電影業已經建立了一項傳統,將文學作品作為滋養其文化與美學內涵的材料來源。然而,對吳爾芙而言,這種傳統卻為電影業與文學作品帶來了災難性的結果。如她所言:「正當眼睛與大腦欲攜手合作卻徒勞無功之際,他們同時亦遭受到無情地剝離。」儘管吳爾芙也許對於文學作品與其改編電影的關係過於悲觀,然而,她的話有時聽來卻也千真萬確。在本課程裡,我們將探討改編自文學作品的電影之局限和缺點,以及其潛力和長處等問題。我們將研究,在文學作品之中得依賴讀者想像力才能生動傳達的微妙心理,電影裡的聲音與視覺效果須如何將之傳遞?文學與電影在處理象徵及思想的方法上,有何不同?還有,改編自文學作品的電影如何偏離文學原作之主題或結構,以便迎合當代觀眾之美學、心理、社會、政治、以及文化等層面的期待?本課程將研究之文學作品與改編電影將於下列作品中選出,但是不局限於下列作品: Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness (1899) Francis Ford Coppola, Apocalypse Now (1979) Rudyard Kipling, Kim (1901) John Howard Davie
