《电影手册》主编评第三季

本文是《电影手册》2017年7-8月号和10月号的卷首语。作者：StéphaneDelorme中文部分自译机翻可能有一定错误，但基本不影响阅读。大卫·林奇在片场10月号：Réel最后一集《双峰》让我们坠入深渊，对它的讨论永远不会停止。“发生了什么？”这个问题的关键并不在于这是个结局悲惨与否（我们近乎绝望地期待着happyending）。这个结局成功了，以一种不可思议的方式：令我们在世界的角落下沉。它刺穿了表象。它触动我们，让我们在身体中感受到它，感觉到那种创伤，林奇的目的是让我们在现实中有所反应。于是，他有必要让作品变得“真实”。这个伟大的结局做了些什么？在一场非常非常漫长，可以消除一切的行程后，我们进入了看上去真实的双峰镇（DoubleR餐厅以一个特别的角度出现）。两位演员历经许久，从一个荒废的世界归来，发现自己面对面站在SarahPalmer家现实中的主人（不过在剧中有个令人熟悉的名字，Tremond）面前。林奇把我们扔在这一刻，在一条路中央，如Cooper和Laura一样不知情，于是一种罕见的效应发生了，我们的感官更加敏锐，听着寂静的夜晚。就这样，我们呆在这条街上，不论有什么意义，也不论是否能去理解发生了什么。这些角色被投射到了我们的现实中，而我们观众则被投射进了剧集中，打开了另一个世界。林奇不想抛弃我们，与此相反他让观众面对自己，“今夕是何年？”轮到我们来回答：2017年，而一切都可以从新开始。毫不夸张的说，这部《双峰》是我们这个时代最伟大的政治作品。林奇制造了这座无敌的巨塔，一座他无法在现实中打造的巨塔：他将它打造在虚构中，形成了一座18集长的“巴别塔”，以此来改变我们的生活。这并不是一座洪水中的小屋，也不是一切都完美的天堂，而且也不只被手戴绿色手套的超级英雄所把守。这座塔在一个黑暗的时代中升起，它的战士支持着每一场胜利与失败。虽然剧集的结尾令我们绝望，但依据爱森斯坦依旧受用的概念，只有一部有着悲惨结局的影片才能引发一场反叛。这个开放的结局，就如所有伟大的现代作品一样，给了我们空间，它欢迎我们：并不是用拼接碎片来诠释它（这已经够令人激动和开心了），而是让我们来继续。林奇交接指挥棒，绿色手套被传给了我们：“为什么是我？”“为什么不是你？”人们可以说林奇的目标是关乎道德的（内心善恶的战斗）或者抽象的（探讨邪恶的存在形式），但这部《双峰》的挑战在于转移到政治上，这是林奇之前未做过的事。我们从没见过他在作品中展现对这个时代、这个美国的担忧，用一连串关于令他作呕的“红脖”白人垃圾、对愚蠢的持枪暴力的讽刺；以及反过来，对住在拖车中，被迫卖血生存的穷人的关注（“fuckinggovernment”）。这个世界活在暴力的危害下，就如某一位Mitchum兄弟，在见证了一位开面包车的会计师的暴力后说的：“大家现在都饱受压力。”但这并不是简单的谴责，这部《双峰》就是一位社会运动家的“天启”传单，希望一切都能在灭亡前改变。林奇相信我们能改变这个世界，而他用一切力量去触动和引导我们。这部《双峰》宏大的美是因为林奇的领路，这是必须被观看的演出。他尽他全力，他敢于利用时间，创造了一座影史上未见的大桥。他用了多年的时间打造了这18个小时的奥德赛，让难以置信之物近在咫尺；他召回老友，邀请新人，好好地照顾了他们。这位陪伴了我们25年多的导演（也是这个时代的电影人），将秘密传达到了我们耳边：一座名为《双峰》的绿洲／乌托邦／大同社会诞生了，而言语无法试图传达这个人工现实的力量。这一切都只是梦吗？这得由我们来决定。英文机翻：ThelastepisodeofTwinPeakshasplungedusintoabyssesandsincethediscussionsneverend.Whathappened?Thequestionisnotwhetheritendsbadlyornot(thatdesperateattemptstobelieveinthehappyending!).Theendsucceeds.Shesucceedsinsomethingincredible:tosinkacornerinourworld.Shepiercesappearances.Ittouchesusdeeplyinourlife.Wefeelitinourbody,wefeelthiswoundonourside.Lynchx27;sgoalistomakeusactintherealworld.Itwasthereforenecessarytomakethefilmquot;realquot;.Whatdoesthisextraordinaryenddo?Afteralonglongnightcrossing,whichgetsridofeverything,weentertheTwinPeakscity,asifitweretherealone(theDoubleRseenfromanewangle),thetwoactorscomingbacksofarthattheworldseemsdeserted,andtheyfindthemselvesfacetofacewiththeowner,inthelife,ofthehouseofSarahPalmer,butdeckedoutwithanameoffictionthatweknowtoowell(Tremond),andLynchleavesusthere,inthemiddleofthestreet,asobsoleteasCoopandLaura,withaneffectofrealrarity,thesensessharpened,listeningtothesilenceofthenight.Thereweare,inthisstreet,andwestaythere.Whateverthemeaning,whatmattersistostaytheretounderstandwhathappened.Thecharactersareprojectedinourworld,weareprojectedintotheshow:thisconflagrationopensadoortoanewworld.Lynchdoesnotwanttoloseus,onthecontraryheputsusinfrontofourselves.Whatyearisit?Itx27;suptoustoanswer:in2017.Andeverythingcanstartfromthere.ItisnoexaggerationtosaythatTwinPeaksisthegreatpoliticalworkofourtime.LynchbuilthisTowerofInvincibility,theonehetriedtobuildinvaininreallife:hediditinfiction,an18-episodeBabelTower,tochangeourlives.Thistowerisnotafloodedlodgenoraparadisewhereeverythingisfine,anditisnotpopulatedonlybyguardsarmedwithagreengloveofsuperheroes.ThistowerrisesinthedarkoftheDarkAgeanditsfighterssupportasmanyvictoriesasdefeats.WearedevastatedbytheendofTwinPeaks.But,accordingtothegoodoldpreceptofEisenstein,afilmthatendsbadlyismorelikelytoprovokerevolt.Thisopenend,asinallthegreatmodernworks,givesusroom,welcomesus:notonlytopickupthepiecesfromahermeneuticpointofview,whichisalreadyexcitingandfunny,butbecauseititx27;suptoustodoit.Lynchpassesthebaton.Thegreengloveisgiventous.quot;Whyme?Whynotyou?quot;OnecouldsaythatLynchx27;saimisethical(theeternalfightofgoodagainstevil)ormetaphysical(thequestionoftheexistenceofevil),butthechallengeofthisTwinPeaksistoswitchtopolitics,whathehadneverdone.Neverhadweseenthisconcerntospeakofhistime,ofAmerica,withthislitanyofbeaufswhitetrashthathevomits,andthathecannothelpeachepisodetoshowintheirarmedviolenceandtheirstupidity,andconverselythesepoorpeople,incaravans,forcedtoselltheirbloodtosurvive(quot;fuckinggovernmentquot;).Itistheworldasitisthatengendersviolence:quot;Everyoneisunderalotofstressnow,quot;saidoneoftheMitchumbrothers,scaredbytheviolenceofacharteredaccountant.Buttheseriesfarexceedsthesimpledenunciation.TwinPeaksisanactivistleafletforeverythingtochange,anapocalypticwork.Lynchbelieveswecanchangethisworld.Andhedoeseverythingpossibletotouchusandgetthere.TheimmensebeautyofTwinPeaksisthatLynchisleadingtheway.Thisishisgesturethatmustbewatched.Hewhodoeseverythingpossible,whobravesthetime,createsabridgewiththepastasneverinthehistoryofcinema,inventsinahandfulofyearsanodysseyof18hours,whichshowsthattheunimaginableiswithinreachofhand,hewhogathershisfriends,invitesstrangers,takescareofeveryone,hewhoaccompaniesusfor25yearsatleast(itisdefinitelythefilmmakerofawholegeneration)andwhocomestotalktousinthesecretoftheear:itcreateswhatsomewouldcallanoasis,autopiaoracommunity-butthesewordsconnoted,tired,folded,lackthepowerofmanufacturingreality,globalreality,thatTwinPeaks.Isallthisjustadream?Toustosee.7-8月号：Non-existent（1-8集）W
