【 失落的符號 ── 成敗皆因丹布朗 】
_
九月忙到「甩肺」,全天候追趕Schedule,就連睇電視也變得奢侈。為了不想脫節,只好捱眼瞓深宵追劇,照道理應該看Netflix人氣劇《魷魚遊戲》(Squid Game),但最後還是選擇剛於9月14日推出的美劇《失落的符號》(The Lost Symbol),完全因為「丹爺」!
_
當然不是劉丹,是鼎鼎大名的暢銷作家丹布朗(Dan Brown)。2003年《達文西密碼》(The Da Vinci Code)出版後,全球至今賣出超過8,000萬冊,並推出44種翻譯本,之後更改編成同名電影,由奧斯卡影帝湯漢斯(Tom Hanks)主演,還記得2006年上映時,仍在大學唸書,擔心「湊熱鬧」買飛入場睇唔明,勁有誠意買下台灣中譯本,一邊上堂一邊在枱底下靜靜偷看,結果就算沒有到過巴黎的羅浮宮看過蒙羅麗莎真跡,仍能一看到底。
_
事實上,因為《達》與前作《天使與魔鬼》(Angels and Demons/2000)太受歡迎,令共濟會(Freemasonry)一下子成為全球熱門搜尋的關鍵字,而Dan Brown亦從此成為流行文化領域中一道「吸Like」的生招牌,只要有新書,都會令人有想追看的意欲,可惜往後幾本著作:《失落的符號》(2009)、《地獄》(Inferno/2013)和《起源》(Origin/2017)推出後無法超越前作,令外界懷疑「丹爺」是否已江郎才盡。
_
畢竟小說與影像的呈現方式各異,好書不代表能夠拍成優質的影像作品,反之亦然,正因為有《達文西密碼》電影版的成功,心想《失落的符號》的劇集也可以一試,值得留意的是,此劇由TVB跟Imagine Entertainment 合營協製。全劇10集,已看過兩集,得出以下總結:成也Dan Brown,敗也Dan Brown。因為他既是原著作者,也是劇集監製之一。《失》原著小說發生在《天》及《達》之後,但劇集版時間則設定為前傳,劇情和人物亦有少許改動。講述哈佛大學教授兼符號學專家Robert Langdon(Ashley Zukerman飾)收到恩師Peter Solomon(Eddie Izzard飾)助手電話後,趕赴華盛頓國會山莊演講。到埗不久,現場竟然出現一隻指著天花壁畫的斷掌。Langdon靠無名指上的光明會戒指,辨認出實為Peter斷掌,從而得知恩師遭綁架,此後神秘人再來電,要求他查出一個關於共濟會並涉及全球安危的秘密,否則Peter性命不保,Langdon才發現已陷入一連串的致命謎團中。
_
個人認為,若將「丹爺」作品改編成影視作品,拍成劇集遠比電影理想,後者需要在兩個小時至三個小時內講完整個故事,觀眾或會覺得劇情交代得太倉促,卻未能充分將Langdon的内心完全刻畫出來 ── Langdon這個木獨的角色不易演,Tom Hanks將情緒拿捏準確而不令人不討厭,已是超額完成。
_
首集劇情推進方面尚算不錯,沒有拖泥帶水直入重點,Langdon要避開CIA追捕的過程中帶著金字塔裝置,並需要尋找消失的金字塔頂部(尖頂石),從而打開通往宇宙力量的神秘之門。觀眾很快便知道綁架的策劃者是誰,亦知道案件跟Peter的兒子Zachary(Keenan Jolliff飾)在土耳其獄中身亡有關,背後涉及共濟會中的極神秘組織,需要透過Langdon解密找到答案,成功借助重重疑點營造出追看氣氛,就算如我那樣,對共濟會的背景及另類暗黑歷史毫不理解,也依然想看故事的發展。
_
可惜來到第二集,劇情沒有明顯進展,鋪排上亦有不少反駁位,Langdon在沒有遇上任何困難而成功找到綫索,然後繼續過下一關,最誇張一幕,是他與Solomon女兒Katherine(Valorie Curry飾),竟然「一個唔該」就能夠將中槍傷的國會山莊執勤的警員Alfonso Nuñez(Rick Gonzalez飾)送出醫院,並讓他找到本屬證物、Peter斷掌上的戒指,會不會太過簡單?,
_
另一個問題是「丹爺」重複自己。《失》劇開首,跟電影《天使與魔鬼》幾乎一樣,都是Langdon在大學授課,只是由Tom Hanks變成Ashley Zukerman而已,換句話講,《失》劇複製《達》的解密過程是意料之中,很難不將兩者比較,原以為Ashley擔正會有亮眼的表現,可惜他沒有像Tom Hanks般讓Langdon討人歡喜,相反變成讀稿機器,頗為失望。反而個人比較喜歡警員Nuñez,皆因他跟Henry Golding有幾分相似,協助解謎過程中帶來不少喜感,成功突圍,而由Sumalee Montano飾演中情局探員井上佐藤(圖三左),據劇情設定,明顯是另一個關鍵人物,她的角色設定亦正正邪,對Langdon有事隱瞞,相比主角和大奸角Mal'akh(Beau Knapp飾)更為吸引,成為追看劇情發展的主要動力。整體而言,跟電影系列相比,《失》劇確實非同一級數,但作為電視節目導賞員,也要多看一兩集才能夠驗證,剛才提到的第二集問題,是偶爾失手,抑或是為了之後的劇情發展而刻意為之,誘使觀眾入局。

entertainment education 在 Crisel Consunji - Artist / Educator Facebook 的最佳貼文
It may seem diverse, but my work has never been segmented. What I do in Education & Community work is anchored in the conviction that creative expression unlocks our potential as people, and that the Arts have relevance far beyond its entertainment value.
If you look at the very beginnings of the Arts, it both empowers the individual, as well as the communal.
I hope that as I choose artistic projects of relevance— both in theme and purpose— the message of creative and social empowerment becomes loud and clear.
Thank you, Marie Claire. I am grateful that people care to hear the story of the headstrong 10-year old who— nearly three decades later— still persists in working hard as an artist, and now hopes to pave the way for others to forge the life and community they wish.
Baumhaus will be running more of our #PlaydateswithaPurpose soon, and I hope you join me then.
