“Why so serious?” “干嘛这么严肃呢?” The Joker’s catchphrase was the most common response to BBC Culture’s poll of 177 critics last year to determine the 100 greatest films of the 21st Century. Very few comedies made that list, apart from Wes Anderson’s confections and a few Pixar romps. That canon of modern classics showed how very often ‘what makes us laugh’ is neglected when assessing cinematic greatness. Is shedding a tear while watching a film a more valuable emotional response than a chuckle? 2016年,BBC文化板块召集了177名评论家票选21世纪最伟大的100部电影,而这句小丑(美国DC漫画旗下超级反派)的经典台词成为了公众的普遍反应。除了维斯•安德森的几部精品和皮克斯的几部喜剧动画,几乎没有喜剧入围2016年的这份榜单。现代经典的标准表明,我们经常忽视“让我们笑”其实也是评判电影伟大与否的标准之一。观影时,流泪就一定是比欢笑更有价值的情绪反馈吗? |
