HBO 的电视剧 Sex & the City 有好几个元素让我着迷: 女性问题的全方位探讨, 内心世界的真实披露, 不同理念和生活方式的实践, 主人公在精神上的迷茫和成长, 还有, 无论生活如何起伏, 永远可以依靠的忠诚的女友, 这部电视剧将女人之间的友情展现出前所未有的深度. 更不用说多姿多彩的时尚, 熟悉的纽约街景, 和妙趣横生的经典对话. 所有这些, 让我觉得Sex & the City 是一个空前的跨时代的女性电视剧.
这套剧伴我渡过了最后几年的单身女郎生活, 是同女友们聚会必谈的话题. 后来我还把老公也拉进来陪我一起看, 虽然他不承认是粉丝(尤其在哥们面前), 但我知道他也常常被四个女人的对话逗得乐不可支.
直到几天前, 我看了这一部老电影 An Unmarried Woman, 才知道原来 Sex & the City 根本谈不上空前, 甚至谈不上原创, 所有以上我提到的元素它全都有, 它的message也差不多, 我想这电影应该可以说是SNTC的鼻祖吧?
故事情节很简单, 但很紧凑, 我懒得写了, 从IMDB抄来这个故事简介:
Erica (Jill Clayburgh), is unmarried only temporarily in that her successful, wealthy husband of seventeen years has just left her for a girl he met while buying a shirt in Bloomingdale's. The film shows Erica coming to terms with the break-up while revising her opinions of herself, redefining that self in its own right rather than as an extension of somebody else's personality, and finally going out with another man. Erica refuses to drop everything for Saul (Alan Bates), an abstract expressionist painter, simply out of love for him because he expects her to. It is not so much loneliness that is her problem, and the problems that men, flitting around this newly "available" woman like moths round a flame, bring to her sense of independence.
Erica在我看来, 是Carrie 和 Charlotte的混合体. 她的外表也介于她们之间, 出门的时候高雅大方, 看上去非常 upper east, 然而在家里也有穿内裤跳舞的场景, 令人忍俊不禁. 故事发展到后来, 她也有些比较大胆前卫的funky的打扮, 尤其最后一个场景, Erica抗着比自己还高的油画, 行走于曼哈顿的大街小巷. 她穿着白色紧身的tank top, 下面配着白色束腰大摆裙, 长批肩卷发, 瘦瘦的如同巴蕾舞演员的身材, 恍忽如重见Carrie.
这部拍摄于1978年的电影在三十多年后的今天看来, 居然非常摩登, 不论是里面的主题, 对话, 甚至fashion, 都丝毫没有过时的感觉. 包括纽约的街景, 虽然街道上的建筑和店铺完全不同, 但各个neighborhood的大致感觉还是没有变. 还能轻易辨认出哪里是Soho, 那里是Upper East, 哪里是 Chinatown, FDR, 等等. 这更加强了电影的现代感, 仿佛时光倒流三十年, 发现那时的人们居然和我们今天的人有同样的喜怒哀乐, 面临的也是同样的问题. 真是”太阳底下没有新鲜事”啊! 正如它的电影海报上写的:
“She laughs, she cries, she feels angry, she feels lonely, she feels guilty, she makes breakfast, she makes love, she makes do, she is strong, she is weak, she is brave, she is scared, she is... an unmarried woman.”
