【题目】When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was calledBrownie. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games, Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go t whoever was sick ad just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up () one of Dad's shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said Bad girl, she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet; she went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she'd let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we'd be out walking and as mal child would come over ad pulled her hair. She never barked or tried to get away.

日前,酝酿了十余年的国产动画电影《大鱼海棠》上映,首日票房即冲破7000万元人民币。从上古神话中取材或改编其故事创作国产影视作品,这不是第一次:此前有电视剧《远古的传说》《女娲传说之灵珠》,也有最近票房大卖的电影《捉妖记》。

上古神话是指中国夏朝以前直至远古时期的神话和传说。这些先民口耳相传的故事经过先秦两汉作家的记录和再创作,主要保存在《诗经》《楚辞》《庄子》等传世典籍中,成为后世文学艺术创作的源泉。

上古神话如何在今天的电影改编中重生?

首先,主创者需找到上古神话与当代相呼应的精神内核,创造出既符合神话精神又与时代审美相契合的艺术形象。避免由于自身知识的缺陷而导致创作时一叶障目、捡了芝麻丢西瓜。《大鱼海棠》的形象设计镌刻着中国传统文化的纹章:鲲鹏、大椿、凤凰、祝融、貔貅、嫘祖等神话形象汇聚一堂,其姿态动作抓住了中国道家文化的气质,其法术神力抓住了东方美学中的自然灵韵。影片的人物矛盾设置意在凸显家族伦理、敬畏生死、天道有常等传统伦理价值与个体自由、个性解放等现代价值观的碰撞,并最终在人(片中的神即人)与大自然的博弈中获得新的价值平衡。遗憾的是,创作者想塑造的形象过多,每一个都没能充分展现出自身的个性特征和文化内涵,模糊和弱化了角色的艺术力量。电影《捉妖记》对上古神话的化用则较为浅层次,其人物塑造虽取法《山海经》中的异人异兽,但角色的行动则带着好莱坞电影的喜剧色彩,没有传递出传统文化的精神气质。

其次,上古神话往往并不具备完整的叙事结构,而讲好一个故事并对人性有深刻的挖掘与表现,则是影视改编的核心。遗憾的是,在这方面我们做得还不够。比如《捉妖记》对妖与人类、妖族内部之间的矛盾冲突表现得不够充分,《大鱼海棠》对主角椿、湫和鲲之间的情感线索铺展不足,人物动机不合理,故事主题也不够凝练,比如灵魂交易的情节设置在一定程度上消弭了主角为理想不断反抗乃至自我牺牲的崇高感。英国的魔幻电影《指环王》情节虽有拖沓之处,但做到了叙事上的合情合理,并始终紧扣人性对抗恶欲,最终实现自我救赎的主题,这种创作经验值得我们学习。

改编自上古神话的大银幕作品,离不开一个具有代入感的奇观世界。伴随电影特效和虚拟现实技术的发展,实现虚构形象的写实已不是问题,然而容易被忽视的,是从细节着手,凸显传统文化的美学价值,确保影片整体风格的统一。

上古神话承载了华夏祖先对世界最初的认识和奇谲瑰丽的想象,是中国传统文化的精神故地。让上古神话在当代电影中重生,既是对传统文化的创造性转化和创新性发展,也是对当代大众文化的丰富与提升。

(1)下列关于原文内容的表述,不正确的一项是( )

A.在十余年的准备工作之后,国产动画电影《大鱼海棠》几天以前上映,首日的票房即大有斩获,冲破7000万元人民币。

B.上古神话多保存在《诗经》《楚辞》《庄子》等传世典籍中,经今天的电影、电视剧的改编才得以重生。

C.从上古神话中取材或改编其故事创作国产影视作品,电视剧《远古的传说》《女娲传说之灵珠》、电影《捉妖记》比《大鱼海棠》更早。

D.中国夏朝以前直至远古时期的神话和传说,经先民口耳相传、先秦两汉作家的记录和再创作,得以保存。

(2)下列理解和分析,不符合原文意思的一项是( )

A.《大鱼海棠》的形象设计带有中国传统文化的印记,众多的神话形象表现出中国道家文化的气质及东方美学中的自然灵韵。

B.《大鱼海棠》塑造的多个形象均未能充分展现出自身的个性特征和文化内涵,《捉妖记》也未能传递出传统文化的精神气质。

C.《大鱼海棠》的线索、人物、主题、情节及《捉妖记》的矛盾冲突表现方面尚有不足,而《指环王》的叙事、扣题值得学习。

D.《大鱼海棠》的人物矛盾的设置凸显了某些传统伦理价值与个体自由、个性解放等现代价值观的碰撞。

(3)根据原文内容,下列说法不正确的一项是( )

A.让上古神话在当代电影中重生,既可以创造性转化和创新性发展传统文化,也可以丰富与提升当代大众文化。

B.从国产动画电影《大鱼海棠》票房和《捉妖记》大卖看,从上古神话中取材或改编其故事进行电影创作同样可以吸引现代观众。

C.以上古神话为艺术创作源泉,电影创作者要做足功课,创造与神话精神相符并与时代审美相契的艺术形象。

D.改编上古神话题材的电影作品,核心是讲好一个故事,对人性有深刻的挖掘与表现,以细节凸显传统文化美学价值,让作品风格统一。
