    荒诞影片两部:《人生七部曲》和《贪吃树》

    很巧,很久不怎么看电影之后连续看了两部荒诞片。《人生七部曲》(Monty Python's The Meaning of Life)是我所喜欢的喜剧风格,另一部《贪吃树》(Greedy Guts)则冷峻不少。

    《人生七部曲》最有意思的是最初十多分钟的附加短片《永保公司血泪史》(Crimson Permanent Assurance),片头的老员工造反是戏仿《宾虚》,永保公司的大楼被设想为一艘大船,老员工们则是跟宾虚一样划船的奴隶。有趣的是,片中永保公司的大楼就是鼎鼎大名的保险公司劳合社的总部大楼。

    天主教的“七宗罪”之一就是“贪饕”,这也成为这两部片子的共同点。《人生七部曲》中的贪食场面不堪入目,《贪吃树》中的贪食令人不寒而栗。取材于捷克传统童话故事,《贪吃树》的宗教味道更加浓重。没有生育能力的年轻夫妇尤其是妻子想要孩子渴望成狂,为了满足妻子,丈夫挖出一个婴孩形状的树桩。妻子把树桩当成了婴儿(非常行为),不惜装怀孕来使其正常化,丈夫迁就了妻子,甚至在邮递员和社工被难以餍足的树婴吃掉后仍然迁就。树婴其实是夫妇俩的愿望,也是赤裸裸的纯粹的欲望,一旦生长就无法停止。树婴和天真的女孩几乎成了朋友,尽管女孩告诉他不要去吃圆白菜,但它停止不了自己的欲望,贪饕毁于贪饕。
